In our tuto­ri­al, we will show you how to inte­gra­te Goog­le Forms on your Word­Press web­site with just three simp­le steps.

Step 1: Create your Google Form #

First, sign in to your Goog­le account. Once you are signed in, you can access Goog­le Forms. To do so, click on the pur­ple icon in the Goog­le Apps menu:

Now open the Goog­le Forms inter­face.

You now have the opti­on to start with a blank page, or use one of Google’s tem­pla­tes.

Now crea­te your form. Via the tool­bar on the right side, you have the pos­si­bi­li­ty to add new ques­ti­ons and ele­ments. You can cus­to­mi­ze the design or the appearance of the Goog­le Forms via the color palet­te icon.

As with all Goog­le Apps (Goog­le Docs, Gool­ge Sheets) you can invi­te your team­ma­tes to par­ti­ci­pa­te in the crea­ti­on of your Goog­le Form. You can find the opti­on for this by cli­cking on the 3 dots next to your pro­fi­le pic­tu­re.

With the­se tools, you should be able to crea­te your form to your liking. Once you are done with the editing, you can embed the form on your Word­Press web­site.

Step 2: Get your Google Form embed code. #

To get to the embed code of your Goog­le Form, you need to click on the pur­ple Sub­mit but­ton. The­re you have five opti­ons to share your form.

  • Share by email
  • Share via link
  • Share via HTML
  • Share via Twit­ter
  • Share via Face­book

To embed the form on your Word­Press web­site, we need the HTML opti­on. To do this, sel­ect the regis­tra­ti­on card <>. Under Embed HTML, you will find the requi­red HTML code. In addi­ti­on, you can spe­ci­fy the width and height of the form.

Now adjust the size to your wis­hes, and then click on the copy but­ton in the lower right cor­ner of the win­dow.

After that, switch to the dash­board of your Word­Press web­site.

Step 3: Paste the code onto your WordPress website. #

Now we can add the form to your Word­Press web­site using the embed code. To do this, open the post or page whe­re you want to embed the form. If you are working with the Guten­berg edi­tor, you should add a cus­tom HTML block:

Save your page or post. The form is now embedded on your web­site.

If you use the clas­sic edi­tor ins­tead, you must first switch to the text view.
