Symptoms
Are you trying to find the Gravity Forms shortcode so that you can embed your form?
Maybe you’re wondering how to generate or modify a form shortcode?
How To Fix It
The first thing you need to know is that there is no shortcode generator, and the shortcode is not displayed in the form editor.
However, if you click on the Embed button at the top of the editor, then at the bottom of the slideout, you will see a button to Copy Shortcode.
Once you have the shortcode, it is relatively easy to modify for your specific forms and use as needed.
Below is the basic shortcode; you can copy and use it on your site; you will need to change 1 to your forms ID number.
[gravityform id="1" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"]You can adjust the shortcode parameters as needed (optional):
- id: Specify the form ID.
- title: Display form title (true/false).
- description: Display form description (true/false).
- ajax: Enable AJAX (true/false).
If you need additional information about modifying and using the shortcode please check this doc: Creating a Form Shortcode.
Adding Gravity Forms Shortcode to a Page
Once you have your shortcode, you can simply paste it into the WordPress classic editor, and the form will display on the front end.
If you use the default WordPress block editor, you do not need to use the shortcode. Instead, you can use the Form block.
If you are using a page builder like those listed below, you will need your shortcode. To help with that, I have prepared an article on how to embed the Gravity Forms shortcode for each of these page builders below:
For a more comprehensive guide for using the Gravity Forms shortcode, please refer to the resource here: Creating a Form Shortcode.
