How to display the contact form?
You can 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
Let’s see how to configure the “contact form” widget - the one you can see on the Public Institutions WordPress theme demo site. Navigate to Appearance -> Widgets and find the “PE Form” widget on the list. Add it to the chosen widget position.
