 * I am having trouble getting a contact form to work. I have used the form successfully
   on a static site for several years with no problem. I am now trying to add it
   to WP. The form is a full contact form for a local service site (Not A Feedback
   Form).
 * This is what I have done (obviously wrong):
    Pasted the form into a page “contact-
   us” added the form generator contact-form.php to my theme-child folder – I think
   this is where I have gone wrong.
 * I am getting 404 errors and I think it may be the location of the form generator.
   I have tried
 * <form method=”POST” action=”[http://localhost/MyWebsite/contact-form.php”&gt](http://localhost/MyWebsite/contact-form.php”&gt);
   
   and <form method=”POST” action=”../contact-form.php”>
 * I also tried a couple of plugin forms but most that I looked at are feedback 
   forms, not full contact forms. I would like to use the one I have. If I need 
   to turn it into a plugin, that’s fine. It will give me something else to learn.
 * My question is what should be the correct path in the form method or, alternatively,
   where should contact-form.php be located?
 * thanks
