Has anyone put a form into a WordPress website? Any info on to do it? (and no, not using S-Drive. Don't start that conversation) I just need to know how to insert a FB form into a WP page.

Thanks,
Lloyd

Should be able to add the form builder files to you server then paste the script that form builder provides and adjust the href in the script to point to your files.:) Have you tried it yourself yet?

I haven't yet. But, thought I would ask first, so I would be aware of any possible complications. With WP having it's own folder within the root folder, do the FB files need to be inside it or just in the root folder?

I would think you could do it either way. Try outside first.

Prism,

Where did you ftp (upload the form.php and form Folder to? I've put them in wp-admin, wp-includes, and wp-content and the page stills never finds. All I get is the Page Not Found error in the spot the form is suppose to be in.

Since it is in Draft mode you can't see it. It's at discninja.com
I have attached a pic of what happens though. The blue box is where the form should be. No matter where I upload the folder and files, it doesn't find it. Including just in the root folder.

Try adding your form to its own page then add the Iframe to WP.

The form is it's own page (Contact) with just a couple lines of text above it. So first, how do create an iframe in WP (it's not part of /in any of the dashboard options). Second, how do you put an iframe into a WP page anyway?
