Gravity Forms Shortcode – A Detailed Explanation

Posted on January 18, 2011

This post is about Gravity Forms, a WordPress contact form plugin.

What are shortcodes?

Think of shortcodes as a placeholder for where other content will be displayed: instead of “Insert a Gravity Forms form here,” we use the gravityform shortcode. Learn more about shortcodes on WordPress.org.

The Gravity Forms shortcode has five pieces:

[gravityform id=# name=TEXT title=boolean description=boolean ajax=boolean]

  1. id (required) – The ID of the form, as displayed on the Gravity Forms Edit Forms page in the Id column
  2. name (required) - The name of the form.
  3. title – Show the title to users? Default is true; set to “false” to disable
  4. description – Show the form’s description to users? Default is true; set to “false” to disable.
  5. ajax – Submit the form without refreshing? Default is false; set to “true” to enable.

Gravity Forms Shortcode Examples:

[gravityform id=1 name=Example Form title=false description=false ajax=true]
Will result in Form #1 being displayed without a title or description, with no-refresh entry submission.  Read more…

Futureproof way to disable captions

From Otto:

Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter('disable_captions', create_function('$a','return true;'));

[Edited: Updated with final solution from Otto]. Thanks to King Rat and others who’ve contributed to solving this problem.

Remove shortcode from All in One SEO Pack in WordPress 2.6

Posted on July 18, 2008

Starting in WordPress 2.6, they’ve added captions to images that are automatically generated and use the Shortcode API to make it happen.  One side effect is that All in One SEO Pack isn’t set up to strip the caption from the automatically generated META tags, so you may end up with in your description.

Thanks to a WordPress Trac entry, I got the right regular expression to strip all shortcode in All in One plugin.  Read more…
