Jotform Embed Form [jotform] Shortcode

The ‘jotform’ shortcode is a tool in the embed-form plugin that allows users to embed a specific form into a page. The related PHP function, ‘apiEmbedHandler’, checks if a form ID is specified in the shortcode’s arguments. If an ID is present, it replaces the tags in the content with the form associated with that ID. Otherwise, it returns an empty string.

Shortcode: [jotform]

Parameters

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

• id – The unique code of the form you want to embed.

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Embed a form using its ID as a parameter.

[jotform id=12345 /]

Advanced examples

Use the shortcode to embed multiple forms by referencing their IDs. The forms will load in the order they are listed.

[jotform id=12345,67890,11223 /]

Use the shortcode with an optional parameter to control the form’s display. If the ‘hide’ parameter is set to true, the form will not be visible.

[jotform id=12345 hide=true /]

Use the shortcode with an optional parameter to control the form’s layout. If the ‘layout’ parameter is set to ‘classic’, the form will display in a classic layout.

[jotform id=12345 layout=classic /]
