Add a Form to a WordPress Page

After you create a HelpGent form, you can place it inside any WordPress page or post with a shortcode. This is a good choice when the form should live alongside your page content, such as a support page, project brief page, or application page.

Before you start

  • Create your form in HelpGent.
  • Publish the form before adding it to a public page.
  • Have a WordPress page or post ready for the form.

Copy the form shortcode

  1. Go to HelpGent → All Forms.
  2. Find the form you want to publish.
  3. In the Short Code column, select the copy icon next to the shortcode.
  4. HelpGent copies a shortcode in this format:

    This form is currently unavailable.

    Please try again later or contact the site owner.

    . Your form ID will be different.

The All Forms list includes a copyable shortcode for every form.

Add the form to a page

  1. From WordPress, go to Pages → Add New, or edit an existing page.
  2. Select the + button to add a block.
  3. Search for and select the Shortcode block.
  4. Paste the HelpGent shortcode into the block.
  5. Save the page as a draft while you review it, or select Publish when it is ready for visitors.

You can use the same process in a WordPress post. The Shortcode block keeps the form connected to the HelpGent form you selected, so visitors see the current published version.

Verify the page

  • Open the page on the frontend.
  • Confirm that the HelpGent Welcome screen appears inside the page.
  • Select Let’s Get Started and move through the form.
  • Check the page on desktop and mobile widths.
