I guess you can if you really want, but that's not how its supposed to work. You create widgetized areas/sidebars in your theme and register them, then you can use any widget you'd like in those areas.</p> <p><a href="http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/18/see-how-easy-it-is-to-widgetize-wordpress-themes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.themelab.com/2008/04/18/see-how-easy-it-is-to-widgetize-wordpress-themes/</a></p> <p>All the Gravity Forms widget does is give you a GUI to embed the form in the widgetized area.. if you embed the form in the theme files via the function call, you're getting the same thing. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/official-widget-where-do-i-get-it#post-10987 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:28:37 +0000 CollegeDegrees 10987@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Oh, that's too bad, it would be handy to be able to embed the widget via code.

If there is no short code or function call for it, just let me know.

Most themes already have a widgetized sidebar so you shouldn't have to do anything to the theme markup to use it.</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/official-widget-where-do-i-get-it#post-10870 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 18:15:50 +0000 CollegeDegrees 10870@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ah okay so for those that may experience the same problem....</p> <p>1) Go to Appearance in your wordpress admin (wp-admin).<br /> 2) Click on Widgets<br /> 3) You see a new widget called Form/Gravity Forms Widget</p> <p>You can play with it there. How do we do this via code? Meaning how can I insert the widget into my sidebar.php script?</p> <p>Thanks for the super quick response as usual!

It's just titled "form" in the widget admin.</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/grabs/7e6ab9e9558bd5e810878044d62e415b.png" rel="nofollow">screenshot</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/official-widget-where-do-i-get-it#post-10867 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 18:01:47 +0000 CollegeDegrees 10867@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I must be missing something I installed the latest version but I can't find the gravity forms widget at all... Is it still in the download? </p>
