Why can't I include two contact forms on the same page?
-
I’m using the McKinley theme and want to include a contact form for two different company regions. However, when I update and preview the page, the second contact form disappears. I need to forward the information from these two forms to different email addresses for the regional sales managers. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch in WordPress? Thanks!
Here is the page…

I’m not sure if this is what you had in mind, but it would get the job done. Right now, you have a single contact page. As far as I can tell, you can’t have two different contact forms on the same page. However, you could have a separate page for each region, give each of them their own category, and make those categories sub-categories to the parent “contact” category. Then, when a visitor to your site hovers over “Contact,” they would see the option to contact “Region X” and “Region Y.”

There is no way to do this using the WP.com contact form. You would have to have the contact form in an external page like a google doc.
Even these send it to the same email address: http://en.support.wordpress.com/wufoo/

Never tried two contact forms on one page – but a workaround would be to make two forms – each on a different page then link to the respective pages.
You can edit the email address a contact form is sent to – it’s somewhere in the options – a contact form can also be sent to more than one email address

@RC – just sent you a link – try it
Just tested – only one form per Page / Post
Edit email preferences in the form builder

My memory may be faulty, but I remember having more than one contact for per page in the past.
I recall a person I helped in these forums who wanted to screen for candidates for a community service position (or award?), so I showed her two separate contact forms on one page. One for the volunteer’s info, and one for what the volunteer wanted to do. It worked on my test blog and, as far as I know, it also worked on her own site.
Guess this is further proof that I’m going crazy. Or something else has changed? dunno…

I just tried a second form – the form builder would not do it – so pasted in the copied html code for two forms – the code was not stripped out but the second form did not display on the page
-
weird! But it is late for me and I can’t find the post on my test blog: lot’s of times the experiments get deleted to clean up the test blog…
But if you just tried it, then I believe you. A parent page with two child pages for two different forms, linked so the reader would know to fill them both out. Or some variation similar would work.

I did it and I got a copy, so it must work.
Which opens up a new way to annoy people; make all contact form messages go to them. Hmmmmmmmmm.

yes that would be one way to do things –
that would be a good one for the staff to deal with – they won’t edit a blog unless the request comes from the owner – so a person getting unwanted email shows up in the forum asking for the staff to edit a blog the requester is not even a member of – I can just imagine the exchange now :)
I add you as a cc for vessel safety check requests in Seattle – but there is a down side – if a person just hits “Reply” to the email they get, the reply goes to the original person that filled out the form – so the unknown receiver of the email could send back a real rude rant that might be a bit tough on your web site
