How Do I Set Up A Contact Form That Will Collect Data From The Sender?

Hi, welcome to Hopps help where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how do I set up a contact form that will collect data from the sender?
So contact form seven is one of the most popular contact forms out there. And I went ahead and installed that in the installed plugins.
I can hit settings and contact form. This is the default contact form. So if we click into that, we'll see that you can change the data that you're trying to collect from the end-user, the email data that's going to be sent to you as the admin.
So the two from the subject message body, et cetera. Now go ahead and copy the shortcode here and we'll go to pages.
Now, I already tested this on a page called a contact form. So I'm just going to click on that. Go ahead and create a new page.
If you don't already have a contact form page and the way that I got the shortcode box, there is just this just simply click shortcode.
Alright, so that's that? I'm just going to copy and paste our shortcode again, just so that we have it and we'll go ahead and preview it on the desktop.
Let me go ahead and copy this link because I don't want it opening it on another page, or you would be able to see it on this video.
So here we are. Okay. This is the contact form. Now I'm going to say hit submit, and it's not going to work because you need to fill out the form, but once it's all filled out and everything like that, it'll work nicely.
And that's how you add a contact form to your site. All right. So if you'd like one-on-one assistance from a WordPress expert, hop on https://app.hopps.io/session/create today.

Hi, welcome to Hopps help where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how do I set up access to a page of my site through a password with specific features?
So, you have, this page that has your specific features. Let's say that you have an account area page, maybe a dashboard or something of that nature, and you want to go and lock it down.
So, in order to do that, you go to this page tab right here, and then visibility is public. We want to go make that password-protected, and then you can just type in a super-secure password, and please do not use super secure.
All right. So, we'll update that, update the page. Okay. And then for me, I'm just going to copy this permalink, just we're staying in the same tab.
So let me do that and I'll pick it up here and we're on this page. Okay. Now we can't see the texts that we wrote on here.
These are protected short content pages that can see the title, but they can't see the content of it. So, we need to type in super-secure just because that's the password.
We chose a terrible password by the way. But now we see the past and we see the content of it. And by the way, this protected colon is part of the theme that I'm using.
It's just a default WordPress theme. Your theme probably isn't going to look as strange as this one did. So that's how you just, add the password anyway, whether it's this theme or any other theme.
All right. So if you need one-on-one assistance with a WordPress expert, https://app.hopps.io/session/create today,

How Do I Display User Posts In A Grid Instead Of A Single Feed?

Hi, welcome to Hopps helps where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how are, how do I display user posts in a grid instead of a single feed?
So, to do that one option is to use a plugin such as a post grader, content views, post grid, something of that nature, whichever one looks the best to you and does what you need to do.
However, keep in mind that that feature, that functionality is often handled by your theme. So, if your theme supports building a grid, instead of for posts, instead of using a, like a content feed where it's just, for instance, this is a feed here, another post, hello world, that's a feed.
So, but the plugins on here we'll create a grid out of it. And so can most themes. So check to make sure that your theme has that feature first.
If it doesn't then install a plugin that way, then you're not loading your site with extra plugins for features you already have and winding up slowing down your site.

Anyway. Now, if you want to have that open in a new tab, let's go to the edit page. The code that I wrote for this file one here is to create an anchor tag, notice that this is, this is the URL for our PDF file.
