How To Create Contact Forms With Gutenberg (5 Quick Ways)

As a long-term WordPress user, Gutenberg will change everything you were used to with WordPress.That includes amazing ways to create Contact Forms With Gutenberg (not including several other form types that you can create).

Upgrade to WordPress 5.0 and you’ll see Gutenberg will come home, knocking on your door. Gutenberg is already here.

Using “blocks” in spite of everything else, using WordPress will be pretty much like using any of the popular WordPress page builders that you might have already used or heard about.

As the community at WordPress puts it,

“The editor will endeavor to create a new page and post building experience that makes writing rich posts effortless, and has “blocks” to make it easy what today might take shortcodes, custom HTML, or “mystery meat” embed discovery.”

Your typical images, audio, video, galleries, tables, widgets, and lists — they’ll all be controlled by blocks, as Eric Karkovac of Envato writes.

This means that how you create, manage, and use WordPress forms will also change.

It’s pertinent then that you quickly learn how to create contact forms with Gutenberg (starting with an obvious ones):
