The cure to this problem is simple, you’re webspace is full.

Simply add more space to your account or upgrade your hosting account or delete unused crap via FTP and bob’s your uncle you will be able to update WordPress or install those new plugins with ease!

So heres how we’re going to do this, what you’ll need is:

• A WordPress Install
• FTP Details (If plugins do not auto install)
• A Contact Form Plugin (Contact Form 7 I’ll be using)
• WP Hide Post Plugin
• 5 minutes of time

So we’re all ready? You will be kicking yourselves at how simple this will be.

First we install the plugins so:
Plugins > Add New > Search > Contact Form 7
Plugins > Add New > Search > WP Hide Post

And then install them.

Once you are done, click the new *Contact* button newly added to the bottom left of your wordpress nav.

After you have finished doing your shiny contact form copy the code.

It should look something like this:

[contact-form 1 "Contact form 1"]

Then goto:
Posts > Add New

Name it something like “SIDEBAR CONTACT FORM”
Paste  your code in, on the WP Hide Post tick/cross all boxes to complete *hide* the post, and then click Publish as normal.

Hover over the post in the posts are to find its ID, ie
wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=12

So your post is #12 for this.

We need to then go here:

Appearance > Editor:  Then Click on: Sidebar (sidebar.php)

This will load up your sidebar.php file.

You then need to insert this code wherever you wish to have it show (ie at the top then right after the first <div id/class>

<p>Contact Us</p>
<!-- p= your post ID for the Contact form -->
<?php query_posts('p=12'); if(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<br />

Save, and that’s it, you’re done.

You client can alter and amend this sidebar form as per usual, and leaves you with no nasty coding at all!

This way is tonnes better than people who use the same code but link to page, since the contact page may have other written content such as telephone numbers etc which you won’t want!

Enjoi!
