Add a form created with the Constant Contact Plugin to a WordPress page or blog post

Insert the Constant Contact Single Form block or shortcode to a WordPress page or post, or add the Constant Contact Form widget to the footer or sidebar of all your pages and posts

Important: WordPress has lots of variations and is highly customizable. If you're not able to follow the steps below because your WordPress dashboard looks different, please check with your WordPress administrator or visit our help forum.

Once you've created a form through the WordPress plugin, it's time to make it visible on your webpage or blog post so that you can start collecting new sign-ups and feedback from your site visitors.

Add a form to a page or post using the Constant Contact: Single Form block

WordPress has two different ways to present your content, and the way you incorporate your form can depend on the type of content you share:

• WordPress posts are displayed on your blog page and have visible "published" and "updated" dates. They provide up-to-date information, but they also go out-of-date quickly as you add more posts. A post is a great place to share a single-use form with a specific list created just for it.
• WordPress pages are static and are meant for more long-term content that you want your site visitors to reliably find. Sharing a more general form with a more generic list works well on a page, because you can gather consistent information over time.

It's easy to add your form to either a page or a post using the WordPress plugin:

1. While creating or editing a post or page in your WordPress account, place your cursor where you want to add the form and click the + (plus sign) to add a new block.
2. Search for "Constant Contact."
3. Click on the Constant Contact: Single Form block.
   Note: Alternatively, you can copy the shortcode for your form and insert a "Shortcode" block, but it doesn't let you preview the form before you publish the page.
   
   
   
   
4. Choose to display or hide the title of your form.
5. Choose the form you want to display from the drop-down menu. Clicking anywhere outside of the widget displays the styled form.
   
   
   
   
6. When the rest of your post content is ready, click the Publish or Save button.
   
   
   
   

Add a form to the footer or sidebar of a page or post

Important: Only the WordPress administrator can access all of the WordPress features and settings. If you don't see "Appearance" as an option in your dashboard menu, you're not logged in as an administrator.

If your WordPress theme has a footer or sidebar incorporated into the design, you can incorporate your form so that it displays on all your pages or posts created within that theme. Please see the WordPress Codex or visit our help forum for help incorporating a Constant Contact form into your sidebar or footer.
