Now coming to the part of this contact form page that it was very usual to have a separate contact form page in almost all the websites. But now the trend has changed due to the rapid modernization in systems. Instead of creating a separate page most of the websites uses pop-up contact form.

So people, who are using wordpress as their platform and willing to add such a feature in their blog, just follow the down steps to get the Pop-up WordPress Contact form in your wordpress website.

First of all, you have to download two plug-ins OptinMonster with canvas add-on and Gravity Forms. Also there are many such plug-ins available in the market which you can download but we will give the instruction with these two plug-ins. As OptinMonster is the best wordpress pop-up plug-in and Gravity Forms is the best contact form plug-in according to our view.

Process -1:
After the installation of both the plug-ins, we have to go to the OptinMonster option in the WordPress admin panel. There we have to click on ‘Create new optin’ button to create a new optin.

A configuration window will now appear in the screen. The first option you will see the ‘Optin Title’, there you can give your desired name by which the pop-up will be identified. Next you will see the ‘Optin Loading Delay’; this option is all about the delay time of pop-up appearance. It is recommended to set it in 0. Now coming to the next one it is ‘Optin Cookie duration’. You will see that the cookie duration is set to 7 by default. That means once a user opens the contact form then he will be unable to open it for next 7 days. Once all the things are done then click on ‘Save and Design Optin’ button to go to the design window.
