    I created a website that includes some functions similar to the video editing app CapCut. I would like to add a complete list of available filters along with descriptions explaining how each one works. For this purpose, I planned to include a form on my site. However, since I am using the free version of WordPress, I am unable to add new elements. Could you guide me on how to create and embed a form using a form-generating website?

    Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Let me help you with that:

    You can create and embed a form on your free WordPress website using Jotform, a form-generating website, even if you cannot add new elements directly in WordPress. Here's how to do it:

    1. Create your form on Jotform using their Form Builder.
    2. Get the embed code from Jotform by going to the Publish tab in the Form Builder, then selecting Embed on the left menu.
    3. Choose an embed method suitable for your WordPress site. For WordPress.com free plans, use the WordPress embed code, which you can paste into a Shortcode or Custom HTML block without needing a plugin.
    4. Copy the embed code provided by Jotform.
    5. Paste the embed code into your WordPress page or post using a Custom HTML block or Shortcode block where you want the form to appear.

    Jotform offers several embed options:

    • JavaScript embed: A simple one-line code that dynamically loads your form and updates automatically when you make changes.
    • iFrame embed: A reliable method that loads the form inside an iframe, reducing conflicts with your site.
    • WordPress embed: Designed for WordPress.com sites, no plugin needed, just paste the code into a shortcode or HTML block.

    Here is an example image showing the embed platforms available in Jotform:

    For detailed steps and visuals, you can also refer to Jotform's guide on How to Embed a Form on a Web Page.

    This way, you can add your form listing the filters and their descriptions on your WordPress site without needing to upgrade or add new WordPress elements.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
