If you have a WordPress site and want to use typeforms, we have a plugin to make is as simple as possible. It makes integrating typeforms into your site super easy. This article explains the features and how to use them.

Warning! Due to how WordPress is designed it’s not possible to use the plugin to embed your typeform as a full page. Instead, you will need to create a new page template and paste the embed code there.
Create a contact form
Collect contact details easily. This creates an embedded or popup form that people can fill in on your site. You don’t even need a Typeform account to use it. Simply add the email address where you want to receive your contact details, and you’re good to go.

Click Build a basic typeform

Choose your Embedding Options. You can have a Drawer, Popup or Embedded typeform.
As above, with the Embed option, you can also choose the height and width, or stick with the default settings. You can always experiment, and edit these settings whenever you want.
Warning! This typeform and the results will not be saved in your account. If you want to have a contact form accessible from your typeform account, you should create it there, then embed it using the instructions above.
