Embed your form on WordPress

If you have a WordPress site and want to use typeforms, we have great news: you can use our WordPress plugin or embed code to seamlessly incorporate a typeform into your pages.

You can either use the Typeform WordPress plugin or Typeform's own HTML embed code to embed forms into Wordpress.org or Wordpress.com. This article goes over both options.

If you're using a WordPress page builder like Elementor or Divi, you can also check out these links for specific instructions:

Embed your typeform using the Typeform WordPress plugin

You can use the Typeform WordPress plugin to embed an existing form into your WordPress page.

The Typeform plugin lets you embed forms into WordPress in two ways:

- You can copy the URL of the form you want to embed, so you won’t have to fiddle with HTML embed codes.

- You can open the Typeform builder from the plugin to select the form you want to embed, or create a new form, or edit an existing one through the plugin.

To embed your typeform with the plugin:

1. Install the plugin in your WordPress account.

If you're using WordPress.org, you can download the plugin here and follow these instructions

If you're using WordPress.com, you can install the plugin here. Or log into your WordPress account, head over to the Plugins section, and select Add New Plugin. Then search for the Typeform plugin and click Install Now

2. Head over to the WordPress Editor for the page you'd like to embed a typeform on. Click on the page where you'd like to place the typeform and type /typeform. A menu will appear where you can select Typeform to open the plugin and add a typeform to your page.

3. Decide how you'd like to embed a typeform. You can either create a new form, paste in the typeform's URL or select a form from your Typeform account. If you paste in the typeform's share URL, make sure your typeform is published first and then click Embed.

If you haven't created the typeform you want to embed yet, click Create new form. A pop-up will appear and you'll be prompted to log into your Typeform account. You can then select how you'd like to create your new typeform.

If you've already created a typeform but haven't decided which form you want to embed yet, simply click Select form in WordPress and this will open up the Typeform builder for you in a pop-up window.

You can now specify within WordPress if you'd like your typeform to appear in StandardPopup, Slider, Popover or Sidetab mode.

In Standard mode, you can change the width and height of the embed, toggle the background transparency switch or choose between showing or hiding headers. If you’re an advanced user, you can also add additional CSS classes.

In Popup mode, you can choose the popup size (large, medium, or small), update the button text and font size, choose the button color and button text color, adjust the border radius, and toggle the change button to text and hide header switches.

You can also choose between custom launch options (on page load, on exit intent, after a set time, or after scrolling), and toggle the show launch button switch or the close on submit switch and set a delay time in seconds. If you’re an advanced user, you can also add additional CSS classes.

You can also check out what your typeform will look like by clicking the launch me button. Below is an example of a small popup.

In Slider mode, you can select the slider position (right or left), change the button text, font size, button color, button text color, and border radius. You can toggle the change button to text and hide header switches, and choose between custom launch options (on page load, on exit intent, after a set time, or after scrolling), show or hide the launch button, or toggle the close on submit switch and set a delay time in seconds.

4. Make sure to save and/or publish all changes in WordPress!

HC_Warning_ilu_cropped.png
Warning! Due to how WordPress is designed, it’s not possible to use the plugin to embed your typeform as a full page. Instead, you'll need to create a new page and paste the embed code there (see instructions below).

Embed your typeform on WordPress using the Typeform embed code

1. Grab your form's HTML embed code from Typeform using the embed feature in the Share panel. Click Copy to do just that.

2. Open the WordPress Editor for the page where you'd like to embed the typeform. Add a Custom HTML block by typing /custom HTML where you want your embed. A menu will appear where you can select Custom HTML.

4. You can toggle between the HTML and Preview modes to see how your typeform will look on your page.
