The correct code here at wordpress.com is [contact-form]. I suggest inserting it in “code view” as it doesn’t always seem to work when inserted in the visual editor.

You have to switch to “code” to insert the tag using the visual editor. The correct syntax is the one thesacredpath mentioned.

That is what I did. I went to page, switched to code, inserted [contact-form], hit save. I am still getting the same thing that I did before

That is why it is not working. Yours is not a WordPress.com blog. Here is a thread that explains things:

motivate2inspire.com is not a wordpress.com blog. You’ll need to go to wordpress.org and download a plugin.

This is a wordpress, I did this in wordpress and I did download a plug in and uploaded it. OK I know I am new at this but now I am really, really confused. YIKES…….

The latter. You need to be at wordpress.org/support

People here in this forum know little about the software you are using, and as you can see from this example, the answers we would give you here might not work for you.
