I want a contact form to go to a colleague's email, not to my wordpress identification email
-
I am creating a wordpress site for use by a colleague. the colleague wants viewers of the site to make contact with him by email, but would prefer that there is a contact form rather than his email directly on the site.
Can I direct the form to go to his email, instead of coming in to mine (it comes to me by default as I am the wordpress site owner)The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yep! We have some info on making this happen here:

Where do I find notification preferences – for this site only – I have other sites where I want my own email to continue – the site where I want to change contact form notification is internationalstudentcenter.wordpress.com
When I add “contact form” I do not see add a “custom form” nor “form builder” nor “email notifications”. This is not a custom site.
Do I have notification preferences? -
Oh – sorry – I think I get it – the html line starts with [contact-form]then a lot more… but I change this first bit to [contact-form to='(email visible only to moderators and staff)' subject='Form Submitted']
this would send an email notification with the subject line “Form Submitted” to the email address email @ mygroovydomain.com.I will try it unless you tell me I am wrong. Thanks, learning all the time.

Yep! That’s completely right!
You can also do this in the contact form editor by opening the post in the wp-admin editor and clicking on ‘Add Contact Form’. This will actually let you edit the current form, it won’t add an entirely new one.
Let me know if I can help further!
