Download the plugin from Dagon Design and uncompress dd-formmailer-wp.zip into a folder.

Open the newly created folder dd-formmailer-wp. You should now see another folder named dd-formmailer all by itself. Upload that entire dd-formmailer folder into your WordPress plugins directory on your web hosting account.

wordpress/wp-content/plugins/

**As a side note, after you install WordPress it will create the folder "wordpress" in your root directory. We changed our "wordpress" folder name to "blog." If left unchanged, our blog address would be www.eventurebiz.com/wordpress, but since we changed the wordpress folder to blog it now is www.eventurebiz.com/blog.

Log-in to your WordPress account.

Activate the plugin.

1. Click the "Plugins" tab near the top
2. Scroll down until you see the "Dagon Design Form Mailer" on the left
3. Click "Activate" on the right

Configure the form to fit your needs.

Click the "Options" tab and then "DDFM-Main" tab

Then fill in the fields below. For Image Verification, we prefer the ReCaptcha method. You will need to get a ReCaptcha Key for your website to use this method. It's easy and it's free. To do this, go to ReCaptcha's website and get yourself a private and public key. Once you create an account and give them your website's address, take note of both your public and private keys (they will be long and it's easier to cut and paste). If you have already obtained a key for your website then you don't have to do this again, just enter your previous keys. Once you have your Public and Private Keys, enter them in where it says ReCaptcha Method Options. Finally, click "Update options."

Now you need to show your form on your blog so people can fill it out and E-mail you. To do this, create a new page (or post) and simply add the following code where you would like your form to appear:

A little more configuring.

1. Click the "Options" tab and then the "DDFM1" tab
2. Fill in the fields / Edit the fields
3. Click "Update Options" at the bottom

Step 7.1

Step 7.2 - Fill in / edit Under Settings, choose the language you want to use, the web address of the form you just made, and then type in the E-mail address you want your guest's E-mail (i.e. the form's E-mail on file) to go to in the Recipients: field. Our blog's contact form has an added field called "Website" to it, but it is not required to be filled in by the guest. To add such a field, you would add the following code to the sectioned titled Form Structure. Position the code where you want it to be positioned in your form. type=text|class=fmtext|label=Website|fieldname=fm_website|max=100 To learn more on how to configure this form, go to Dagon Design.
