Once the import begins you will see a box with progress bars.

After the import is complete you can view the site or customize it.

Contact form 7

Contact Form 7 plugin can manage multiple contact forms. It also lets you customize the form and the mail contents flexibly with simple markup.

Displaying a Form

Let’s start with displaying a form on your page. First, open the 'Contact -> Contact Forms' menu in your WordPress administration panel.

You can manage multiple contact forms there.

Just after installing the Contact Form 7 plugin, you’ll see a default form - “Contact form 1″ and a code like this:

[contact-form-7 id="1234" title="Contact form 1"]

Copy this code. Then open ('Pages -> Edit') of the page where you wish to place the contact form. A popular practice is creating a page named 'Contact' for the contact form page. Paste the code you've copied into the contents of the page.

Now your contact form setup is complete. Your site visitors can now find the form and start submitting messages to you.

Next, let’s see how you can customize your form and mail content.

Customizing a Form

Title for this contact form is (1) which is just a label for a contact form and is used for administrative purposes only. You can use any title you like, e.g. “Job Application Form,” “Form for Event 2016/01/01″ and so on.

Shortcode for this contact form is(2). Copy this code and paste it into your post, page or text widget where you want to place this contact form.

Form Tab

Form editing the field (4). You can customize the form content here using HTML and form-tags. Line breaks and blank lines in this field are automatically formatted with <br/> and <p> HTML tags.

Tag generators (3). By using these tag generators, you can generate form-tags without knowledge of them.

For more information about form-tags, see How Tags Work.

Mail Tab

You can edit the mail template for the mail which is sent in response to a form submission. You can use mail-tags in these fields.

An additional mail template is also available. It is called Mail(2) and its content can differ from the primary Mail template.

For more information, see Setting Up Mail.

Messages Tab

You can edit various kinds of messages, including “Validation errors occurred,” “Please fill in the required field,” etc.

Make sure that only plain text is available here. HTML tags and entities are not allowed in the message fields.

Additional Settings Tab

You can add customization code snippets here. For more details, see Additional Settings.

Widget Importer & Exporter

Widget Importer & Exporter is useful for moving widgets from one WordPress site to another and backing up the widgets.

Importing

Importing is a matter of uploading an export file created by the plugin. The results of an import are shown in a nicely formatted table with an explanation of what happened with each sidebar and widget. Importation takes into consideration the sidebars not existing in the current theme (widgets imported as Inactive), widgets that already exist in the same sidebar (widgets not duplicated) and the widgets that are not supported by the site (widgets not imported).

Exporting

Widget Importer & Exporter can create an export file (in JSON format with .wie extension) out of currently active widgets. This file can be imported into other sites using this plugin or used to restore the widgets to the same site later.

WordPress Importer

WordPress Importer will import the following content from a WordPress export file:

Posts, pages and other custom post types
Comments
Custom fields and post meta
Categories, tags and terms from custom taxonomies
