Hey @voodoochill,
Good question, the shortcodes to seem to be a little hidden. Maybe it’s time to give Blocks a test drive!
If you enter the ID of the form, you should be able to use the following:
[mailpoet_form id="1"]
The form ID is found in your URL:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mailpoet-form-editor&id=2
Hope this helps!
Maybe it’s time to give Blocks a test drive!
I already did and am unable to use it on this site due to the customisation
Hi there,
Thanks for confirming that your site doesn’t show the block due to customizations.
Let us know how the shortcode solution works for you!
I was also surprised that when I couldn’t find the associated shortcode for a form. All documentation is based on Gutenberg so, people tend to think that Mailpoet only allows usage via Gutenberg.
I suggest that you display forms’ shortcodes next to them in the forms list in the upcoming versions.
Hi there @wpfixfast,
I was also surprised that when I couldn’t find the associated shortcode for a form. All documentation is based on Gutenberg so, people tend to think that Mailpoet only allows usage via Gutenberg.
While the “Add a form using a Gutenberg block” documentation is specifically about Gutenberg, our main documentation about creating subscription forms lists all the different options (including Shortcodes) in the Form Placement section here: https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/297-create-a-subscription-form-with-our-editor#placement
Were you referring to other documentation?
Hi @kellymetal ,
The documentation is clear, however the form shortcode is not given in the forms list. I had to search these support forums to find the @seanomattic ‘s reply to get the shortcode.
[mailpoet_form id=”1″]
My plan C was to download the plugin locally and inspect the code manually where the shortcode registrations were made in the plugin.
Your plugin is amazing, but even experienced WordPress site owners can think that MailPoet can only be added via Gutenberg blocks, or via Elementor Pro Forms widget. My suggestion is to add a button to forms list where it is clearly visible that plugin users can generate and copy the embed code (the shortcode).
Hello again @wpfixfast ,
Thank you for getting back to us.
Although it takes few clicks to get your shortcode, I see reason in making this more accessible/more easier to see.
You’re welcome to add it as a suggestion here https://feedback.mailpoet.com
Our team will take it into account when discussing new features and improvements for the plugin 🙂
Thank you!
