Embed a Plattio Form with the shortcode or Gutenberg block – Documentation

What you will achieve: Add any saved, published Plattio Form to a post, page, or template area using either the form shortcode or the Plattio Forms Gutenberg block, and turn the form title and description on or off.

Prerequisites

Plattio Forms plugin is installed and active.
Your form is saved and Published (open the builder to confirm).
Your WordPress site meets the plugin requirements (see plugin info). If you use the block editor, WordPress 6.7+ is required by the plugin.

Find the form shortcode (quick method)

Go to the admin menu: Plattio Forms → Forms.
In the Forms list find the row for the form you want. The list shows a Shortcode column with the ready-to-copy shortcode such as [plattio_form id="123"].
Click the Copy button next to the shortcode, or select and copy the shortcode text.

Embed using the shortcode (classic editor, widgets, or any editor that accepts shortcodes)

Open the post, page or widget area where you want the form.
Paste the shortcode exactly where the form should appear, for example:
```
[plattio_form id="123"]
```
Optional: control the form title and description using attributes. Examples:
- Show both title and description (explicit):
```
[plattio_form id="123" title="true" description="true"]
```
- Hide both title and description:
```
[plattio_form id="123" title="false" description="false"]
```
- Use the form’s stored setting for title (leave as default):
```
[plattio_form id="123" title="default"]
```
The shortcode attribute values accepted are true, false and (for title) default; omit attributes to inherit the form’s saved display settings.
Update or Publish the page and view it to confirm the form appears where you placed the shortcode.

Embed using the Gutenberg block (recommended for block editor users)

Edit the page or post with the block editor.
Click the Add block button (+) and search for the block named Plattio Forms.
Insert the Plattio Forms block. In the block sidebar or inline controls pick the form from the Form (Choose a form) selector.
In the block settings turn the toggles Show form title and Show form description on or off as needed. These correspond to the block attributes showTitle and showDescription.
Save or Update the post and preview it to confirm the form and your title/description choice are shown.

What to expect after embedding

The form appears inline where you placed the shortcode or block. The plugin renders fields, client scripts and styling automatically.
If you used the shortcode attributes, those values override the stored form title/description visibility for that render only.
If the form is unpublished or unavailable you will see no form output to normal visitors; administrators with form permissions will see an admin notice in the page preview.

Limitations and troubleshooting

If you can’t find the shortcode: open Plattio Forms → Forms and use the Shortcode column copy control for that form.
If the Gutenberg block does not appear: ensure the Plattio Forms plugin is active and up to date, and that block assets are not blocked by caching. Reload the editor after confirming the plugin is active.
If the form doesn’t show on the live site: confirm the form is Published in the builder and that you placed the correct form ID.
Conversational forms use a different shortcode ([plattio_form_conversational]) and must be enabled in the form schema to render; the standard [plattio_form] shortcode is the usual embed method.

Done: Your form is embedded. Use the shortcode attributes or the block toggles to hide or show the title and description as needed.
