How to remove contact form on front page using editor

  • Hello!
    I have a client’s site that needs to have the contact form taken off. The theme makers aren’t around anymore, so I can’t ask them for assistance.

    I found the area in the editor for home page that has the contact form. I’m not sure exactly what to remove to make it disappear.

    Here’s a link to the site: https://www.cohanscoastalconstruction.com

    Thanks for your help! Here is the code from the editor:

  • Try to delete everything inbetween these two lines (including those two lines as well)

    <h2 style=”margin-bottom:0px;”>Get In Touch</h2>

</form>

    If you know how you can try to do it from Firefox’es Firebug or similar tool in Chrome or Edge. Whatever you do there will not affect actual content on the server, so if you achieve result, just apply to the actual file.

    ATTENTION!!! Make backup first.

    Hello @mobilequeen. Greetings from the Willamette Valley. You can hide the contact form using this custom CSS:

    /* hide contact form */
#banner_section .four.columns {
    display: none;
}

    To remove it completely you’d need to edit the theme template php file and remove the section indicated:

    <div class="container" id="banner_section">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="eight columns">
    <div class="four columns">   <-- delete this div

    Thanks sinip and bdbrown,
    I tried the CSS first because it was the easiest. It worked great!
    Thanks again to both of you for your help.
    Have an amazing weekend!

    You’re welcome; glad to help.

    Excellent, just don’t forget that the form is still there. ?? Just you can’t see it.

    Sinip,
    So the form is invisible now? Wouldn’t you know it, I talked to my client today who is NOT technical at all and didn’t even have an email address. Now he tells me he has a computer and a business email address, but he doesn’t know how to check his email. LOL
    I’m assuming that after he learns how to check his email, I can just paste the old code back in there (which, thankfully, I saved) and the contact form will magically reappear?
    Sounds good,
    Kathy ??

    Yes, just delete that custom CSS and the form will reappear. ?? The reason I’m mentioning that the form is still there is if someone looks at the code using Firebug or similar tool in a browser, that one will be able to see the form and make it reappear and use it, temporarily though. Just FYI, so you don’t get surprised if some e-mail arrives. Chances are slim, but anyway… ??
