Getting started is easy. To make it easy for you to manage the essay submission forms, we’ve integrated our plugin with the Contact Form 7 plugin to handle all essay submissions.
Setting up the plugin for the first time is a 3 step process:
- You need to install and setup the Contact Form 7 plugin
- (Optional) If you want all essay submissions to be stored on your site, you can also install the Flamingo plugin, which is a message storage plugin for Contact Form 7.
- You need to install and setup the Scholarship Essay Contest plugin
- You need to create your first Contest!
