Hi FarzamF,
This is a nice feature. Can you remove the “Leave a Reply” or “Post Comment” section from the page?
Thanks.

Thanks FarzamF, it’s very helpful having people like you able to provide online advice.
I have a further quick question. I want to paste-in an advertising banner at the bottom of the first page of my evolve template – how can I do this please. I guess it will to sit directly above the Theme4Press footnote. I can’t see how to achieve this within the template structure.
Thank you very much once again.
Kind regards, Andy
Hi Andy,
Thanks for writing in,
If you wish to circulate the position of advertising banner you may provide us the URL of your website so we can provide a way out for that in a more sophisticated manner.
Thanks.
What about using a plugin like Ad Injection?
Is it possible to remove the map from the contact form? It’s not appropriate for my site.
Hi,
In Theme Options -> Contact -> Google Map Address
leave it blank and the map will be gone from contact page.
Thanks!
Hi Denzel,
I tried changing the dimensions to zero and it just left a big empty space. I never thought of taking out the default address!
Thank you!
I have activated the Contact page as explained above, but it is not a form that I get at all – no fields to customize, just our company contact information. The map isn’t showing up and it may have to do with the fact that I’m creating the site locally, but I’m looking for a form with fields that can be customized, allowing the visitor to fill them out.
Wondering if I should use another plug-in, as I would like the contact form to interface with our SalesForce database…? Thanks.
Hi,
The contact template’s form are built in. You cannot customize.
Please use a third party contact form, if you need customization.
Thanks!
Question for Denzel: I’m testing the built in contact form in Evolve and it only works if I enter information in all fields including the subject and message. If I only enter name and email address I get an error message. However the form fields indicate that only name and email is required?? Are you able to clarify?
Thanks
Hi,
Message is also required. It does not make sense to be sending empty emails, in case user accidentally send the message before completing the form.
In contact.php you can find the following codes.
//Check to make sure comments were entered
if(trim($_POST['msg']) == '' || trim($_POST['msg']) == 'Message') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {
$comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['msg']));
} else {
$comments = trim($_POST['msg']);
}
}
You can comment out $hasError = true; to allow posting blank emails.
Thanks!
Greetings
The contact page template is best for the layout of my current page. But I’d like to remove the contact form from this page. Is there a bit of custom CSS (or something else) I can use to achieve this?
Thanks
Alex
Hi,
Please use the following codes in Theme Options -> Custom CSS to hide your form.
.page-template-contact-php form {
display: none !important;
}
Thanks!
