Let’s say you add a shiny new contact form to your WordPress site. It works perfectly when you test it, and it gives visitors an easy way to reach you. But where do those contact form submissions actually go?

There’s no point in having contact forms on your site if you’re unable to access the submissions and reply to queries.
