I just added a contact form to my blog, now proudly running on Wordpress 2.8.1. Since WP 2.7, it has become a breeze to add and delete plugins. It no longer involves searching for the plug-in outside your dashboard, downloading, unzipping the plug-in package, uploading it to the server and then activating it. Now you can search, install and upgrade Wordpress plugins, themes, and even upgrade Wordpress versions itself from within the Dashboard.
The search feature at the plugins page is not very efficient, though. Also I wish the
plug-in database got rid of dormant plugins regularly. I found WP Contact Form III, which I thought was kind of cool because it was a combination of Doug Karr’s and Ryan Duff’s plugins, both recommended by problogger.net in their book “Pro-Blogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income“. The plug-in installation and activation was easy. The contact form even showed on my blog, but it didn’t show a captcha verification code. So, I figured I needed to go to the “Contact Form” configuration. That is when the error occurred: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”. The plug-in’s page at Wangenweb results in a 404 error. Visiting the Wordpress Support Forum didn’t help much, but it did direct me to another Contact Form. “Enhanced WordPress contact form plugin” from yoast.com turned out to be my solution. It is simpler looking than the Contact Form III but works well. Check it out.
