 * I am using wp-contact-form but it does not matter much as i tried 5 different
   contact forms (including ajax) and the problem remians the same. The form just
   wont work, everytime i am redirected to the home page with the form fields etc
   in the browser address bar. I have installed forms before on various other blogs
   as well but never faced this problem. I also check if the form is conflicting
   with other plugins by disabeling everything but nothing helped.
 * Can anyone tell me what the form is not working the way it is supposed to… any
   help would be highly appreciated.

 * To help you out it’s best to list what version of wordpress you are using, what
   version number of the contact form plugin, and if possible a link to your site
   so that people can see the behavior themselves.

 * Looks like the form script is put in the part where the content usually is. Did
   you just create a Page and in the “Write Page” field, you put in your form script/
   etc.?
 * If so, that won’t work.
 * You can create the form (*just* the form), and at the top – BEFORE anything else,
   add this line:
 * `<?php require('/SERVER PATH TO/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>`
 * Then you just use the regular `<?php get_header(); ?>` etc. to the form to call
   in the WordPress stuff.

 * Which contact form? There are always several plugins doing the same – so provide
   a name and link to the plugin used.

 * Question #1. Did you upgrade? Is the plugin compatible with your new version?

 * Moshu, the pluin was successfully used with wp 2.1.1 but i am currently using
   wp 2.1.3, so i am not sure.
 * Can you suggest something?

 * While this doesn’t resolve the issues with THIS form, there is an alternate form
   out there that works with 2.1.3 and it’s a branch off the same form tree (I think)
   as this one. It’s [here](http://www.douglaskarr.com/projects/wp-contactform/)
   and called WordPress Contact Form with Spam Protection. I use it on my 2.1.3 
   and it works perfectly.

 * that form is AWESOME, works like a charm, no modifications and it even has a 
   verification code for people to copy so that you don’t get spam
 * i think this one will do the trick it works on all versions
    try it out 🙂

 * The problem is NOT with the contact forms. the problem lies with the template
   🙁
 * i changed the templated and the forms works like they are supposed to..
 * how would i find out which piece of code is creating problem?

 * I don’t know about templates and plugins and such, but I will say that the solution
   I provided above *does* work. I’ve used it on many a non-wordpress page – including
   forms. I’ve got that running on all my sites that have wordpress going.

 * Though not an answer to your question, I’ll weigh in with a contact form plugin
   recommendation. I have used this one on a few sites and love it:
