You would have to be familiar with CSS to do so. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-do-i-add-a-form-to-the-sidebar#post-2333 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:06:09 +0000 aronson 2333@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just figured out a solution: I inserted a blank section break before the first field. Thanks anyway! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-do-i-add-a-form-to-the-sidebar#post-2331 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:02:14 +0000 aronson 2331@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your rapid response and Merry Christmas. This worked fine. I set the fonts in Thesis and like the way it looks except one detail:</p> <p>How do I put some horizontal white space (carriage return) between the Description and the first field? I tried adding some CRs after the Description text but it ignores that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-do-i-add-a-form-to-the-sidebar#post-2329 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:25:44 +0000 Carl Hancock 2329@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you are using a text box widget I don't believe you can paste a PHP function call into a text box widget. The function would have to go in your theme file, the actual sidebar.php file. Since you are using Thesis you aren't going to want to edit your theme directly as it is designed to use child themes.</p> <p>What you could try is Joost de Valk's Gravity Forms Widget add-on. This is a widget that you can add to your sidebar and use it to display a Gravity Form.</p> <p>You can download it here:</p> <p><a href="http://netdna.yoast.com/downloads/gravity-forms-widget.zip" rel="nofollow">http://netdna.yoast.com/downloads/gravity-forms-widget.zip</a></p> <p>You will need to download this and then install it just like a plugin. It will then add a new widget to your Widgets menu. Please note that we didn't develop this Widget, Joost de Valk did.</p> <p>But that should help you use a form as a sidebar widget. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-do-i-add-a-form-to-the-sidebar#post-2328 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:58:11 +0000 aronson 2328@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How do I put a form into the sidebar (right column)?</p> <p>I created and saved a form and want to put it in the WordPress (Thesis theme) sidebar. I pasting the code <code>&lt;?php gravity_form(1); ?&gt;</code> into a text box. Result: Nothing appears except the title I assigned to the text box.</p> <p>Background: This is still on an internal test system so I can't give you the URL yet. This is my first time using Gravity. I'm not a techie nor am I adept at coding, though I CAN follow instructions! </p> <p>FYI, Mark purchased the program, but this is Laura, the marketing person, writing here.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Laura </p>
