Activecampaign Subscription Forms [activecampaign] Shortcode

The ActiveCampaign shortcode is a powerful tool that allows the display of subscription forms on your website. The shortcode: [activecampaign] fetches form settings and displays the form based on the parameters passed. It offers flexibility with options like ‘static’ for a non-interactive form, ‘preview’ for preview mode, and ‘css’ to control styling. If no settings are saved, it falls back to widget options, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Shortcode: [activecampaign]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible null shortcode parameters and attributes:

• form – Specifies the form to be displayed from the saved settings
• static – If set to true, the form will not change or refresh
• preview – If set to true, shows a preview of the form
• css – If set to true, uses default styles; if false, does not apply any styles

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A simple usage of the shortcode to display a form with the ID of 1.

[activecampaign form=1 /]

Advanced examples

Displaying a form with ID 1 in static mode. The static mode means that the form will not update or change based on user interactions.

[activecampaign form=1 static=true /]

Displaying a form with ID 1 in preview mode. The preview mode means that the form will display as a preview, without any functionality.

[activecampaign form=1 preview=true /]

Displaying a form with ID 1 without any CSS styles. This is useful if you want to apply your own styles to the form.

[activecampaign form=1 css=false /]

Displaying a form with ID 1 in static mode, with preview mode and without any CSS styles.

[activecampaign form=1 static=true preview=true css=false /]
