How to Display the Forms you have Created?

There are two ways to display your newly added form on your website. You can either use the shortcode that is generated or use the icon added on the text editor. 

To learn how to display your forms in both Classic Editor and Gutenberg follow the instructions below:

In the Classic Editor: #

Option 1: Using ShortCode #

From your Dashboard, go to Everest Forms>>All Forms. There you will see the list of all the forms that you have created and the shortcode generated for each one.

Select and copy the shortcode. Now go to the option for Pages and select Add New.

Paste the shortcode that you have copied on the new page. Save the Changes, and the new form will be displayed on your site.

Option 2: Using the Button #

If you wish to use the newly added button instead of the shortcode, Simply go to the new page or a post option. There you will find the newly added icon/button to add forms, go ahead and click on it.

You can then go ahead and select the form that you want to include. Go ahead and Save the changes and Publish them once you are done.

In Gutenberg: #

In the Gutenberg editor, there are two ways to display the forms on your posts and pages.

Option 1: Using the Everest Forms Block #

First, click on Pages > Add Page. Then, click on the Add block icon and search for Everest Forms in the search bar. Click on the Everest Forms block that appears.

Display Form Title and Description

With the Everest Forms block editor, you can now choose to display the Title and a Description for your forms

Title and Description for Form

But first, you need to add a description to your form. To do this, open your form in Editor, go to Settings > General, and see the Form description option. You can type in the text you want to describe your form.

Navigate to Settings and Add Form Description

Now, you can enable the title and description on your Everest Forms block editor. The title and description will be shown in your form like this.

Example of Showing Title and Description
Note: You can only enable title and description, when you select Popup Type as None. 

Popup Type New

Everest Forms now offers flexible display options for your forms through the Popup Type feature. This functionality allows you to determine how users will access and interact with your forms, providing three distinct options: None, Link, Button, or Popup.

Popup Type
Display Options

None: When you select the None option, the form displays directly on the page without additional triggers or containers. This is the standard, traditional form display where all form fields are immediately visible to users when they load the page.

Link: When you select the Link option, a clickable text link will appear on your page. When users click this link, the form appears in the designated area.

Select Popup Type As Link

Button: The Button option generates a customizable button on your page. Users can click this button to display the form, providing a more prominent call-to-action than a standard text link.

Select Popup type for Form as Button

Popup: Selecting the Popup option creates a modal window over your page content. The form will load directly in a pop-up window without requiring any additional buttons or text interactions.

Popup Type Settings

When you select the popup types for your form, you can further customize the appearance and functionality with the following settings:

  • Popup Button/Link Text: Customize the default text displayed on the button/link to reveal the form when clicked.
  • Popup Size: Set the dimensions of the popup window to ensure it fits your design preferences.
  • Popup Header Title: Add a title to the header section of the popup window for better context.
  • Popup Header Description: To guide users, include a brief description or instructions in the header section.
  • Popup Footer Title: Provide a title for the footer section, adding a professional touch to the form.
  • Popup Footer Description: Add additional information or links in the footer section for a comprehensive user experience.

Additionally, within the Advanced Settings, you can apply custom CSS classes to further style and enhance the appearance of your form.

Option 2: Using Shortcode #

Go to Everest Forms>>All Forms and Copy the Shortcode of the form you want to display.

Then, in the Gutenberg editor, click on Add block icon and search for Shortcode on the search bar. Click on the Shortcode block.

Your form is displayed perfectly on the frontend but it won’t show in the editor.

The form will look something like this on your site. You can customize and rearrange the elements based on your preference.

In Elementor #

You can display the form in the Elementor pages using the available Everest Forms elements.

Search for the “Everest Forms’ in the Elements section and drag and drop the element to the widget section.

Once dropped on the widget sections, choose the required form from the Content section on the left-hand side.

How do you embed the Everest Forms directly from the Form Editor? #

After you create the form and configure its settings, you can directly embed the form to an existing page or to a new page. For this, click on the Embed button on the top-right of the form builder screen.

Now, you can choose whether to embed the form on an existing page or by creating a new page.

If you select the Select Existing Page, you can choose one of the pages you have already created in your site and embed the form.

Choose a page and click on Lets GO!

However, if you select Create New Page, you will need to provide a page’s name and click on Lets Go!

Now, you will be redirected to the designated page’s page builder.

Click on the plus button, search for the Everest Forms block, click the block, and choose the form you want to embed.

After you choose the required form, click on Update.
