Create a contact form

Create a contact form in WordPress — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need a contact form on the Contact page that routes messages to me and the customer success lead, validates email and phone, and prevents spam. Put Full Name, Email, Phone, Company, Message, and a consent checkbox for our privacy notice. After a submit, show a thank-you message and send me and Dana an email with the full submission within two minutes. Test by submitting twice with my address and report any errors.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I publish this contact form for readers, make it quick to approve: surface the required fields and privacy checkbox up top, show the exact email recipients and confirmation text, flag any missing validation rules (email regex, phone format), note if CAPTCHA is absent, and list the success message and redirect behavior so a reviewer can sign off fast.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I added the form fields but it isn’t sending emails

I built the Contact page and added Full Name, Email, Phone, Company, Message, and a consent checkbox. Submissions aren’t reaching my inbox and I don’t know whether the form failed, the mail settings are wrong, or the site is blocking outgoing mail. I’m afraid users will assume we’re unresponsive. What’s the most likely cause and the next three checks I should run in order?

Become — change the pattern

Contact forms keep arriving late or not at all

Over the last six months contact-form submissions occasionally fail or arrive hours late, and I spend time resending or asking people to try again. I suspect email deliverability, SMTP setup, and spam filters are to blame. What changes should I make to stop firefighting—configuration, monitoring, and a simple playbook for when forms fail—so I can trust submissions arrive and save time?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
