Displaying the Form ID

    I feel like this should be really easy to do but can't seem to manage it!

    I am trying to display the entry ID on the page as well as allowing it to be sent in the email to the admin.

    I can get the email to display the entry ID by using {entry_id} ... however I can't get the damn thing to display on the form!

    Please help!

  2. To clarify, you are trying to display the {entry_id} merge code on the form confirmation text message?

    I don't really mind where it's displayed. It rather it be displayed on the 'thank-you' page, which is a separate WP page, that the form redirects to after the data is submitted; but that would involve passing across data to that page which I guess could be a little tricky?

    If that isn't possible, I'd settle for it displaying on the last page of the form.

    Thankyou.

  4. The {entry_id} can't be displayed within the form itself because it doesn't exist until the form is submitted. The entry_id can only be displayed in content that is displayed AFTER the form is submitted, such as the email notifications and the confirmation message.
