How to Create a Contact Info Widget in WordPress
Do you want to add a contact form to a WordPress widget?
You may make it easy for people to get in touch with you via email, phone, and social media by embedding a “contact us” widget on your website. It will be very simple for site visitors to contact you in this way.
Here, we’ll demonstrate how to build a contact form widget in WordPress.
The Benefits of Including a Contact Form Widget
If you want to grow your WordPress site, generate leads, and establish an email list, be sure to provide contact information on every page.
Display your email address, phone number, and social network profiles in one convenient location by adding a “contact info” widget to your site.
In this way, site visitors can simply get in touch with you to ask inquiries, make purchases, or get assistance.
Now that we have established that, let’s look at how to quickly and easily set up a WordPress contact page.
The WordPress Contact Form Widget: How to Make One
Contact Information Widget is a great widget for adding contact information to your WordPress site. It’s a free WordPress plugin that requires minimal setup and provides excellent results.
The Contact Information Widget plugin must first be installed and activated. See our tutorial on adding a plugin to WordPress for more information.
This widget allows you to insert a block containing your contact information into any widgetized area. After activation, go to the Appearance » Widgets section of your WordPress dashboard.
To add a widget, visit the ‘Widgets’ page and then choose an available spot.
Select the Widgets tab under the Appearance menu.
It’s important to remember that your WordPress theme determines which places are available for widgets, thus the final result may vary based on the theme you choose.

Now, we’ll update the sidebar to include a contact form.
To begin, expand the ‘Sidebar’ box by clicking the arrow icon in its upper right corner. The ‘+’ add-on button can then be used to incorporate a widget displaying contact details.
In the sidebar, select the + sign.
You may then use the ‘Widget Block Menu’ to look for the contact information widget by its name. You can also see a list of all the building blocks by clicking the “Browse all” button.
The ‘Contact Information’ option will become active once you find the widget.
Select the “Contact Details” option from the Widget Block’s Menu.
Just provide your business’s contact details (telephone, address, e-mail, etc.) for easy access by your readers.
Then, select the ‘Update’ tab to commit your modifications.
To submit, just include your details below.
Next to your contact information, you can also display icons. Access the ‘Contact Information’ widget by returning to the ‘Widgets’ page.
The final step is to locate the ‘Show Icon’ checkbox and activate it. The displayed icon will be chosen mechanically according to the data entered.
The ‘Update’ button should then be clicked to permanently commit the modifications.
Mark the box labeled “Show Icon”
The icon will now appear next to your contact details on your site.
A phone next to a phone number or an envelope next to an email address are both examples of illustrative symbols.
Conclusions and Future Directions
The problem with a widget that displays your contact information is that it will show up on every page of your site. Including this data in your website’s footer is recommended.
The contact page of a website is sometimes the only place where such details are presented. To avoid receiving spam, some business owners prefer not to make their business email address public.
Making use of a plugin like WPForms, you can then add a contact form to your site’s contact page. Include a map of your area and other information there if you like. This is the ultimate goal of most commercial websites.
Including a widget with your contact information in WordPress is easy, and we hope this post showed you how. See also: our recommendations for the finest live chat software and how to write an effective email newsletter.
