There are many form options for WordPress. If this is the only functionality you need for the forms on your site, I would recommend using Contact Form 7. It’s free and relatively straightforward to use.
From your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New. Search for “Contact Form 7,” install the plugin and activate it.
You’ll see a new “Contact” option added to the left navigation bar. Click it and edit the default contact form. You’ll see several labels and form fields, click the “drop-down menu” button to add a dropdown input to your form. Follow the instructions that come up in the modal for adding options. Then click the “Insert Tag” button. Add labels to the form as needed.
Also click on the “Mail” tab to add the notification details you want to use, where you want the emails to be sent, etc., and then click “Save.”
Copy the form shortcode at the top of the page, which looks something like:
[contact-form-7 id="101" title="Contact form"]
Then, paste this shortcode on the page where you want your form to display. Click the “Update” button.

What is the context of this form? Just a form with a result to be emailed or is it e-commerce?
Thanks for getting back to me so fast.
Just a form with a result to be emailed.
Also if there is a way to make that form when they submit the form can it be sent to a list of emails automatically. Thanks
Then almost any form plugin will do. My favorite is https://wordpress.org/plugins/formidable
Great thanks!
Can that form have a submit button on it? Then once you click on submit it will automatically be sent to multiple emails.
A form without a submit button is like an Oreo without the filling. Install formidable and give it a look.
Can you tell me where in WordPress it will show me how to submit a form to several different emails automatically?
It depends on the forum plugin you use. In formidable, under the form’s settings, you can either multiple mail actions or multiple addressees on a single mail action.
Thank you Steven for all your help. This is my first website and I have no idea what I’m doing or what the terminology is. I know what I want I just don’t know how to tell someone.
