Gravity Forms Shortcode Explained

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…
