When we want to collect user data from our website or allow them, the users, to test their knowledge, Google’s Forms tool is very useful. There are several ways to use a form created in Google Forms on our WordPress page. Next we will expose two of them.
The first does not need anything more than Google Forms and WordPress. It consists in that we can insert the form, as embedded code, in the HTML code of the post, or page, of our website that we have prepared for it. The steps to do so are the following:
The second method requires installing a WordPress plugin, Google Forms by Mike Walsh. To install and use it we can also follow a series of steps. This time we will assume that we already have a form created and we can get your URL in the corresponding tab of the Google Forms menu, image 4.

- Search for the plugin on WordPress, download and activate it, images 5 and 6.
- Use the Add New Google Form tab of the new WordPress menu, which appears when activating the plugin, image 7. This takes us to an editor for a new form. We can put the URL in the corresponding field and publish it or continue editing it.
- Now in the Google Forms option of the same menu, image 7, the form we just published will appear along with a Shortcode, similar to: [wpgform id='<ID Google Form>']
Finally choose the post, or page, where you plan to display the form and write the Shortcode, including the brackets.
