Need Code vs. Short-Code

    I'm using a theme that requires the actual form code. The short-code won't work. (It's for a squeeze page and the theme has its' own little data-field for the form code entry, and the GF short-code won't work.

    I've tried the "View Source" on a successful presentation page of the form I need, copy/paste but I don't know enough about php/html to know how much of it I need and what I dont'.

    How can I get the code for a GF form?

  2. Forms can be displayed using either the shortcode or a function call. You can't view source and copy-n-paste the form code. That isn't going to work.

    If you need to insert the form into the theme template files directly you would use the function call to display the form.

    Information on this can be found in documentation here:

    When using the function call you also have to use a second function call in your themes functions.php file to enqueue the necessary scripts and CSS. That function call is documented here:
