== Installation ==

= Upgrading =

When upgrading to a new release, please properly deactivate the running version before installing the new files.

= Installation =

1. Download & extract plugin using its default directory
2. Upload plugin directory `/contactforms/` to the wordpress `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
4. *Optionally check cforms.css for indvidual styling of your forms*

= Usage =
Of course you could just use the cforms button in either TinyMCE or the std editor to insert your forms, or disregard the possibility and do it manually:

To do so, please insert `<!--cforms-->` for the first form and/or `<!--cformsX-->` for your other forms in the code view/edit mode to include them in either your **pages** or **posts**.

= Inserting a form via the PHP function call =
Alternatively, you can specifically insert a form (into the sidebar, footer etc. ) per the PHP function call `insert_cform();` for the default (first) form and/or `insert_cform('X');` for any other, subsequent form.

_**Note**: "**X**" represents the number of the form, starting with **2**, 3,4 ..and so forth._
