How do I embed a web form into a WordPress site?
All I seem to get is a link to a form - not a form embedded into my site?

Shaine Greenwood EmployeeHi Rob,
Open your sheet and click the Web Forms tab at the bottom. Click More > Get Embed Code to get an iFrame that you can use to embed your web form into your site.
More on web forms can be found in our Help Center:https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/522221-using-web-forms#manageform

after I paste the embed code in to WordPress:
""
then update
WordPress replaces the text with this:
"https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form?EQBCT=d614093955564e348350c9bae08fda8c">https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form?EQBCT=d614093955564e348350c9bae08fda8c;"
Which replaces with a link to the form???

Hi Rob,
You may need to talk to WordPress support or explore their Community forums to figure out why the link is being changed. (Unless someone with knowledge of WordPress wants to chime in on this thread.)
Smartsheet will only generate an iframe for embedding in an HTTPS site, we don't have control over how other websites treat the iframe after the fact.

Agreed - sounds like a WordPress problem...

J. Craig Williams ✭✭✭✭✭✭I've been playing around with several IFrame plugins on my WordPress site.
All exhibit the same behavior - the IFrame is truncated in height.
This occurs for WebForms and published sheets.
The problem appears to be on the Smartsheet side, but I've seen IFrames working properly in other cases.
is there a recommended Plug-In for IFrame usage?

I discovered that the behaviour is different in Wordpress.com sites and Wordpress.org sites. Seems to work better in .ORG

@Shaine, so is it that you're saying Smartsheet web forms can only be embedded in pages implementing SSL? The problem I'm having is that on the Drupal 7 side of our website (yes, our website has different sides), the iframes populate perfectly, but on the Wordpress side, the iframes refuse to show up, whether using the embed code, or the shortcode provided by thepluginmodule. Both pages are fetched over HTTP.

Hi,<\/p>
I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now (if you mean that the Query should be included in the URL to Dashboard, it's only possible in the URL to the form), but it's an excellent idea!<\/p>
