How to get mail of contact form in wordpress

In WordPress, you can get the mail of a contact form using the wp_mail function or a plugin like Contact Form 7 or Gravity Forms. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Using wp_mail function

Create a new PHP file in your WordPress theme directory (e.g., contact-form-handler.php).

Add the following code to the file:


<?php
function send_contact_form_email() {
 // Get the form data
 $name = $_POST['name'];
 $email = $_POST['email'];
 $message = $_POST['message'];

 // Set the email subject and body
 $subject = 'Contact Form Submission';
 $body = "Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nMessage: $message";

 // Send the email using wp_mail
 wp_mail('[email protected]', $subject, $body);

 // You can also use a custom email template
 // $template = get_template_part('contact-form-email-template');
 // wp_mail('[email protected]', $subject, $template);
}

// Add the function to the WordPress hook add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_send_contact_form_email', 'send_contact_form_email'); add_action('wp_ajax_send_contact_form_email', 'send_contact_form_email');

3. In your contact form, add a form action attribute that points to the PHP file:
```html
<form action="<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php');?>" method="post">
    <!-- Your form fields here -->
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

Method 2: Using Contact Form 7 plugin

Install and activate the Contact Form 7 plugin.
Create a new contact form using the plugin's form builder.
In the form settings, go to the "Mail" tab and set the email address and subject.

In your theme's functions.php file, add the following code:

add_action('wpcf7_mail_sent', 'send_contact_form_email');
function send_contact_form_email($contact_form) {
 // Get the form data
 $name = $_POST['your-name'];
 $email = $_POST['your-email'];
 $message = $_POST['your-message'];

 // Set the email subject and body
 $subject = 'Contact Form Submission';
 $body = "Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nMessage: $message";

 // Send the email using wp_mail
 wp_mail('[email protected]', $subject, $body);
}

Method 3: Using Gravity Forms plugin

Install and activate the Gravity Forms plugin.
Create a new form using the plugin's form builder.
In the form settings, go to the "Notifications" tab and set up an email notification.

In your theme's functions.php file, add the following code:

add_action('gform_after_submission', 'send_contact_form_email');
function send_contact_form_email($entry) {
 // Get the form data
 $name = $entry['1']; // Replace with the field ID
 $email = $entry['2']; // Replace with the field ID
 $message = $entry['3']; // Replace with the field ID

 // Set the email subject and body
 $subject = 'Contact Form Submission';
 $body = "Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nMessage: $message";

 // Send the email using wp_mail
 wp_mail('[email protected]', $subject, $body);
}

Remember to replace [email protected] with your actual email address.
