I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me if and how this is possible.
1. yes, it’s possible
2. edit single.php
I would like to put a conctact form into the ‘single.php’ page so that each post has it’s own contact form which is not visible when only in a ‘category’ or ‘archive’ featuring that post.
This is a confusing sentence, as single.php has nothing to do with categories or archives. single.php is your single post page — your permalink page.
IF you utilize them, category.php and archive.php control what those other pages look like.

hi. thanks whooami. i have my site arranged so that posts are first viewed by a user selecting a ‘category’ page. when they click on a link in the post viewed in the ‘category’ (or ‘archive’) page they are taken to a page with only that article plus a contact form (templated by the single.php). as users view the whole article already in the category section, the single page becomes utilised as a contact page. and if i can specify what the title of the post is, in that email sent, then it becomes a useful tool in users responding to individual posts.
i am not trying to set up a normal blog and do not want to make use of comments.
so you say i need to edit the single.php – do you have any ideas of what i should put into it?
thanks
Check out my site: http://www.cssdesigned.com/
I used a contact form in the left side which is inside a template. I used this plugin:
http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin
It has a ton of features and is very easy to configure using the admin interface. Or another way (which would work well under your site setup) would be to surround the contact form using conditional tags:
<?php if (is_single())
{
--> contact form <--
}?>
