09 Embedding Forms on Your Site Print

After creating your form, you need to add it to a page or post for visitors to use it.

Method 1: Using the Embed Button

1. Open your form in the editor
2. Click the Embed button in the top toolbar
3. Choose an existing page/post or create a new one
4. Click Insert Form

This is the quickest method and works well for most situations.

Method 2: Using a Shortcode

Every form has a shortcode you can copy and paste anywhere shortcodes are supported.

1. Go to Forms → Forms to see your forms list
2. Find the form and note its ID number
3. Use the shortcode format: [gravityform id="1" title="true" description="true"]

Shortcode options:

• id – Required. The form ID number.
• title – Show the form title. Use "true" or "false".
• description – Show the form description. Use "true" or "false".
• ajax – Enable AJAX submission (form submits without page reload). Use "true" or "false".

Method 3: Block Editor

If your site uses the block editor:

1. Edit the page or post
2. Click + to add a block
3. Search for "Gravity Forms"
4. Select the form from the dropdown

Method 4: Classic Editor

If your site uses the Classic Editor:

1. Edit the page or post
2. Click the Add Form button above the editor
3. Select your form from the dropdown
4. Configure display options
5. Click Insert Form

Embedding in Widgets

You can also add forms to widget areas (like sidebars) by using a text widget and pasting in the shortcode.
