Mailin [sibwp_form] Shortcode

The Sendinblue WordPress Plugin shortcode is a powerful tool that generates a specific form based on the ID provided. It retrieves the form ID from the shortcode attributes and generates the form in the desired language. If no language is defined, it defaults to the site’s language. The form is then outputted wherever the shortcode is placed.

Shortcode: [sibwp_form]

Parameters

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

• id – Unique identifier for the specific contact form.

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A shortcode that will render a form with the ID ‘oldForm’.

[sibwp_form id='oldForm' /]

Advanced examples

Example of a shortcode that will render a form with the ID ‘contactUs’. If ‘contactUs’ form is not found, it will return the ‘oldForm’.

[sibwp_form id='contactUs' /]

Example of a shortcode that will render a form with the ID ‘subscribe’. If ‘subscribe’ form is not found, it will return the ‘oldForm’. It also uses a language code ‘fr’ (French) to display the form in French.

[sibwp_form id='subscribe' lang='fr' /]

These examples illustrate how you can use different parameters with the ‘sibwp_form’ shortcode to display different forms and in different languages on your WordPress website.
