I installed contact form 7 on my practice site (New to WP) and had activated it but am not able to view the contact form any where on the dashboard please help..
There should be a "Contact" tab under the "Comments" tab in your dashboard. Click on it to get the code. You can also try going to the plugin site and grabbing the code: http://contactform7.com/getting-started-with-contact-form-7/ Make a page and paste in the code, I don't think you need to change it to HTML mode, but if you only see the code try switching to the HTML mode. If it's not working try uninstalling and deleting the plugin, then re-installing it.
You can try to find in setting menu. Usually, this plugin it depend with your WP version for the location that you can found.
