Jetpack 5.2 brings you a brand new contact form experience, a better explanation of our recommended features, and several performance improvements.
New Contact Form
Jetpack’s Contact Form for WordPress is one of our most popular free features. And with good reason: it’s the simplest and most effective way of enabling your readers to get in touch with you be it for praise, complaints, requests, or suggestions.
And now we’ve made it much simpler and faster to use.
The new Jetpack contact form is now easier to use.
The next time you add a contact form to a page on your site you will see a new visual interface right inside the editor instead of a popup. Enjoy a full editing experience including adding and customizing fields and labels, re-ordering them by dragging, and easily setting email subject lines and recipients.
To edit, simply click on the form itself, and hit the “edit” icon. You can edit or remove the existing fields, or add new ones by going to the bottom of the form and clicking “add field.”
Click on the contact form and then the “Edit” icon in order to add new, change the order of, or delete fields in your form.
Simply drag and drop your fields to organize their order the way you want them. Click “Update Form” at the bottom when you’re done to save your changes.
Click “Add Field” at the bottom of your new contact form to add new fields. Click “Update Form” to save your changes.
