How to display the contact form?

As mentioned above, you may create a menu link and assign it to the Contact page or display the context form using the Contact widget. 

Displaying the contact form with the Contact widget.

First, let’s find the contact form widget. Navigate to Appearance -> Widgets and find the PE Contact widget on the list. Add it to the widget position you want to place it in.

The widget brings a few options. You can directly decide on the Appearance of the contact form, choosing which elements will be visible. Apart from the standard widget settings, which are the same as for other widgets (widget size, show widget for, custom widget classes), it has the options necessary for the contact form display:

Under the “title box,” you see the list of elements ( the ones from Gathering contact details section) that can be displayed or not (Show/hide):

• Contact details
• Form
• Consent 1
• Consent 2
• Captcha
• Google map
