Where do people go after submitting a contact form on your site? Chances are it’s a bit awkward. Why not direct the user to another page instead of letting them exit the site? This is your chance to direct their attention to something else you want to sell or educate the website visitor about, and adding a button is the way to do it. So in this tutorial I am going to show you how to add a button to the Divi Contact Form success message!
FYI: You can do this with a setting directly in the Divi Contact Form module with our popular Divi Contact Form Helper plugin! Take a look, it is so easy!
1. Add A Custom CSS Class To The Divi Contact Form
The first step to adding a button to the success message after a form is submitted is to add a custom CSS class to the Contact Form module. This is used to target the module with the code shared in steps 2 and 3 of this tutorial. Open the module settingsand go to theAdvanced tab. Go to theCSS IDs & Classes toggle. Place the class“pa-contact-form-success-button”in theCSS Class input field of the Contact Form module.
2. Use jQuery To Add A Divi Contact Form Success Button After Submission
By default, Divi already has the option to show a success message as text, so make sure to have something written in the module in the Success Message field like shown in the screenshot below, then proceed with adding the jQuery code which attaches onto the success message text and adds the button.
If you are using our free Divi child theme, place this snippet into the scripts.js file and remove the <script> tags at the beginning and end. Otherwise, place this in your Divi>Theme Options>Integrations tab in the "Add code to the < head > of your blog" code area.
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery(".pa-contact-form-success-button .et_pb_contact_submit").click(function () {
if (jQuery(".pa-contact-form-success-button .et-pb-contact-message ul").length == 0) {
var x = setInterval(function () {
if (jQuery(".pa-contact-form-success-button .et-pb-contact-message p").length == 1) {
jQuery(".pa-contact-form-success-button .et-pb-contact-message").append("<a href='https://YOURDOMAIN.COM' class='pa-success-button'>YOUR TEXT HERE</a>");
clearInterval(x);
}
}, 200);
};
});
});
</script>
Replace Button Text
Be sure to write your own text for the button. You can update the part of the code that says YOUR BUTTON TEXT HERE with your own call-to-action text.
Replace URL With Your Own
Be sure to replace the URL in the code that says YOURDOMAIN.COM with the URL of the page where you want the user to go to after they submit the form.
3. Style The Success Button With CSS
At this point, a link will show below the success message text. You could leave it as is, or you could style it like a button. In my opinion, it looks great and gets more attention when the link is styled like a button, so if you want to do that you can apply the CSS snippet below and customize the values however you want.
If you are using our free Divi child theme, place this snippet into the style.css file. Otherwise, place this in your Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS code box. If you need help, check out our complete guide on Where To Add Custom Code In Divi.
Make life easier and use the Divi Contact Form Helper plugin instead, the ultimate Divi Contact Form upgrade with awesome features and settings!
The Divi Contact Form Helper plugin has the option to enable the button with a simple toggle setting! We also have an option to write custom button text, choose either a custom URL or page, input the custom URL or choose a page, and set whether the link opens in the same window or a new tab.
