Adding Gravity Forms to a blog page or post in WordPress can be done in a few straightforward steps.
Here’s how:
-
Install and Activate Gravity Forms: If you haven’t already, you’ll need to purchase Gravity Forms from the official website, install the plugin, and activate it. To install it, go to your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. Browse and select the plugin zip file, and click ‘Install Now’. Once installed, activate the plugin.
-
Create a Form: Once the plugin is activated, navigate to the Forms tab on your WordPress dashboard. Click ‘New Form’. A window will appear asking for the form’s name and description. Fill these in and click ‘Create Form’. You will then be directed to the form editor where you can add the fields you want in your form.
-
Add Fields to the Form: On the right side of the form editor, you’ll see a list of field types that you can add to your form. Simply click on a field to add it. You can customize each field’s properties by clicking on it in the editor.
-
Configure Form Settings: After designing your form, you can configure its settings. You can setup confirmations, notifications, and more in the ‘Settings’ section of the form editor.
-
Embed Form in a Blog Post/Page: Now, navigate to the post or page where you want to add the form. In the block editor, click on the (+) button to add a new block, search for ‘Gravity Forms’ and select it. Then, choose the form you want to insert from the dropdown list. If you are using the classic editor, you can insert the form using a shortcode, which you can get from the ‘Embed’ section of the form settings.
-
Publish/Update Your Post/Page: After embedding the form, publish your new post or update the existing one. Your form should now appear on your post/page.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully added a Gravity Form to your WordPress blog page or posts page.
