Adding contact form to sidebar (using contact form v7)

Put it in a text widget.

Thanks Figaro – I haven’t done this before, how would I do this?

This is my sidebar:

<div id="column">
			<h2>Categories;</h2>
			<ul id="blogMenu">
				<li><a href="/blog/">Blog home page</a></li>
				<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=' ); ?>
				<li>&nbsp;</li>
				<li><h2>Subscribe;</h2></li>
				<li><a href="https://www.miltonbayer.com/newsletter.php">Subscribe to our newsletter</a></li>
				<li><a href="/blog/feed/rss/">Subscribe to the RSS feed</a></li>
			</ul>
			<!--div id="search">
				<?php //get_search_form(); ?>
			</div-->
			<div id="twitter_div">
				<h2 class="sidebar-title">Twitter Updates</h2>
				<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
				<a href="https://twitter.com/miltonbayer" id="twitter-link" style="display:block; text-align:right;">follow us on Twitter</a>
			</div>
		</div>

In your WP admin just go to Appearance/Widgets and add a text widget…paste that code from contact form 7 into the widget and save.

Note: When you add one widget all the default sidebar items will get removed, so you’ll need to add the ones you want to use back as widgets.

EDIT: Don’t do anything in the code…login to WP and do the above in your admin area.

Thanks figaro, I did as you said – and it wont display.

I have made quite a few modifications and created this template from scratch so how would I tell the sidebar to include widgets as I don’t see anywhere where this is? (see code above)

Switch to the default theme that comes with WordPress (Kubrick) and see if it works there. If so, I would guess that your custom theme is not coded to work with widgets. If that’s the case, you’ll need to do a little research on how to make your theme widget enabled.

Thanks Figaro ;o)
