Cherry Sidebars allows to create and manage your own dynamic sidebars.

Cherry Sidebars is a lightweight plugin for creating multiple widget areas, and outputting them on posts or pages of your choosing. Now you don’t have to limit yourself to one widget area, instead you can create as many as you like. Group your widgets into multiple areas, and pick which one you want to display for a certain post or page.

The plugin can be useful for certain posts or pages, where you want your content to be different, for example you need to add a banner ad to your popular post, or a bio section to the ‘About’ page. Cherry Sidebars would be a perfect tool for this task.

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
