Thanks for being such a big help. I’m currently asking my host about the server path.

Okay, tried several things, and yes, I’m stuck. Not sure which wp-blog-header.php line you’re referring to in order to utilize the WP bits. If I included the entire wp-blog-header php statement, the page that comes up when I click on my request-info link, says you of course need the wp-config file. And it fails to find the template-loader.php file. So I need help with that.

Also, I’ve used this <?php include ('header.php'); ?> (as well as include sidebar.php and footer.php, respectively) in the code. When I click on the link to the request-info page, the form comes up but it can’t locate the header, sidebar, footer. It says it isn’t found in the request-info.php directory, which of course it won’t be found there. Now I put the request-info.php in my theme directory. I’m assuming that is part of the problem. Not sure where to put those files (request-info.php, thankyou.php, and formmail.php) and how to have the request-info.php file call the various templates.

I hope this makes sense. I’m just not sure how to structure my request-info page and what to include in it.

Ah, great, thanks to both of you. Yeah I think I’ll attempt to do that, seems like the way to fix this. I’ll see if I can get it to work.

Oh, do you both have a form on a static html page, say, in your site’s root folder? Or is it still set up as php, just outside WP? I’m a bit new at php so if I could create an html page that would be ideal.

I guess that’s the way to solve this problem. Will have to figure out how to do that. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried using the dagon form mailer, but it’s not as customizable as I want it to be. I have one very long field label which I can’t style correctly, and I can’t create my own classes and ids or take out certain elements such as required fields. I guess I’ll have to use it if I can’t find the answer to this post though.

I’m new to PHP and am trying to create a form on my site which uses WP as a CMS.

Bugsmio, may I ask how you installed formmail.php in wordpress in order for it to be read? I heard you’re not supposed to put it in your cgi-bin. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Also, did you use a separate page template (than other pages, say) to create the form?

I’m a bit confused. Let me know if you or anyone else can help.

Thanks
