3,410 PointsBest path or lessons to take to learn how to make a custom dynamic contact form in WordPress? (like a plugin)
Hi all,
So at work, I have been asked to begin learning code so that I can create a custom contact form that we will use as a sign-up form for customers, but I am not sure where to start, in terms of what pathways or lessons will help me get there.
I believe the form would just be a complex contact form, but I am not sure how to implement one into WordPress, as well as have dynamic content, where you can add or remove a student (so a row), how to make another dropdown appear is a specific selection is made, and then have specific parts of the form in different accordions.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated :)

The best way to build a contact form is to use one plugin like Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms.
If you create your own plugin try to learn with this course: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-build-a-wordpress-plugin

Treehouse Teacheryou're probably better off using one of the form plugins that are already out there as per this suggestion (Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms). Many offer as much customization as you could want.
