Can I embed my form into a Wodpress...

Hello,

I've read the tutorial here:

http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … ress-blog/

However, this tutorial gives instructions on how to do this for Wordpress POSTS, not Pages. I don't have any posts on my site, nor do I plan to as I am not using this for blogging, so are there instructions on how to make this work with a Wordpress page?

Since Wordpress stores pages in a DB, I am guessing the challenge is the whole 'copy the registration.php and directory to where your HTML pages are stored' thing.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Pat

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

First off, thanks for taking the time to post your replies, I appreciate it!

We are all talking about the same blog post, and the user who tried this before was not successful getting this to work in Wordpress actually:

"So, the code provided by the software works fine, but only outside of WordPress pages and posts. It does not works on WordPress, and I don't understahd why. :( "

Per my original question, note that the blog that is linked here shows you how to do this with a Wordpress POST, not a PAGE. They are handled differently in Wordpress (I don't claim to be a WP expert, but I do have experience). The simple cutting and pasting of the code from the form builder into the <code></code> tags hasn't worked thus far.

If I have to work around this to get this to show outside of Wordpress I will be disappointed since I would have not bought the tool if I knew of this restriction. I'll continue to tinker with this, but before I invested more time I was hoping that someone could tell me if the blog post you have linked to, that I have also read, also applies to Wordpress PAGES.

Thanks,

Pat

Have you tried coding your own iframe and use absolute linking.

Pat,

Internally, there's not a lot distinguishing posts from pages in Wordpress. And the issue isn't really related to the code tag: it's that the form needs a script to process the input. I haven't used the new CC web form tool but if it's similar to the older version, you generate both the form and the script to process the form. The reason the help page suggests an iframe is to solve the issue that wordpress doesn't know what to do with the form input.

The only way you can use the web form tool's forms is through an iframe or embedded code tag. You'll still need some external (to Wordpress) place to process the form input.
