One drawback is that I would have to update all my custom validation hooks aswell, since they are using the form id:<br /> <code>add_filter( &#39;gform_field_validation_11_10&#39;, array( $this, &#39;validate_numbers&#39; ), 10, 4 );</code><br /> In other words: having different form ids on the live and the development system can be confusing and time consuming.<br /> So for now I just stick with exporting the database table, which is fast and works fine.</p> <p>Thanks, Paddelboot </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed-form-via-title#post-83689 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:51:38 +0000 Alex Cancado 83689@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, this is currently possible. Simply pass the form title instead of the form ID to the gravity_form() function call. I have updated the following documentation to reflect this change.<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form#Function_Call" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Embedding_A_Form#Function_Call</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed-form-via-title#post-83347 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:56:37 +0000 Carl Hancock 83347@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This should already be possible.</p> <p>The Gravity Forms shortcode supports displaying a form via the form name and NOT the id if that is what you want to do... so i'm assuming the function call also supports this because the shortcode uses the function call. HOWEVER i'm not 100% sure of the syntax because i've never done it this way.</p> <p>I'm going to ping our lead developer and have him provide details on how to do this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed-form-via-title#post-82098 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:06:23 +0000 digitalbrands 82098@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also +1 for this feature request. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed-form-via-title#post-82076 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:58:41 +0000 xbonell 82076@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 for this feature request. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed-form-via-title#post-66873 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:37:18 +0000 paddelboot 66873@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I now have 12 forms, and counting. I need to sync them all... Looking forward to any improvements on this matter, or any known workarounds. What about synching database fields: would it work to simply update the <strong>wp_rg_form_meta</strong> fields on the live server?</p> <p>Paddelboot</p> <p>Postscript: I exported said table and imported it on my live server, no problems so far. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/embed-form-via-title#post-66484 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:11:41 +0000 Chris Hajer 66484@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Fair points.

The form IDs on both systems do not correspond, which creates the need to update PHP files on the server all the time. And no, I do not want to use the shortcode from within the editor. </p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Paddelboot </p>
