🎯 Introduction #

Shortcodes are the backbone of WordPress flexibility. With Simple Form by wpazleen, you can embed forms anywhere on your website using shortcodes — including floating forms and themed layouts.

⚙️ Step 1: Find Your Form Shortcode #

1. Open your WordPress Dashboard → Simple Form → All Forms.
2. You’ll see a list of all created forms along with their shortcodes.
   Example:
   Loading form...

   
   Submit
   
   
   
3. Copy the shortcode of the form you want to embed.

You can also find the same shortcode inside the Form Editor at the top section.

🧩 Step 2: Insert Shortcode into a Page or Post #

You can add the shortcode into:

• Gutenberg Block Editor – use a Shortcode block.
• Classic Editor – paste directly into the editor.
• Elementor or Other Builders – use an HTML or shortcode widget.

Example:

[simple_form id="2"]

This will display your form inline wherever you place it.

🪄 Step 3: Use Shortcode Parameters (Position & Theme) #

The Simple Form shortcode supports advanced parameters for customization.

🔹 Add Form Position: #

You can display the form in different positions on your page:

[simple_form id="2" position="bottom-right"]

Available positions:

• bottom-right
• bottom-left
• inline

🔹 Add Form Theme: #

You can also change the theme directly using a parameter:

[simple_form id="2" theme="theme-2"]

Combine both parameters:

[simple_form id="2" position="bottom-right" theme="theme-2"]

This shortcode will show a floating form at the bottom-right corner with Theme 2 (Fresh Green).

💡 Pro Tips #
