This plugin features two components: * Formstack Widget * Formstack Plugin The **Formstack widget** allows you to embed Formstack web forms into your sidebar. The widget automatically optimizes the web form’s CSS to make your online forms fit and look great on your WordPress pages. The **Formstack Plugin** adds a button to the TinyMCE editor that allows you to easily select the Formstack web form you wish to embed. Once a form is selected, a shortcode will be inserted into the editor, which will be converted to the selected form once your page or blog post is rendered. This plugin supports the following shortcodes `[Formstack]`, `[formstack]`, and `[ fs]`. A Formstack account and API key are required.

Nope. Can’t use this plugin, it just errors out. Can’t even use their embed javascript because you get a 403 server error. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26291a3e27bd18f19210e959736696d8527c5888fa120aaeea76025b6df94891? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not impressed – nothing works properly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-impressed-nothing-works-properly/)󠁿 [Joe Bloggs](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joe-bloggs/) 4 kwiytnia 2019 It seem like you guys are trying to do too many things, but nothing works properly. Signed up with Formstack, your Drupal extension doesn’t work, this WordPress extension doesn’t work either. It sends people to Formstack for confirmation instead of staying on the same page. This plugin hasn’t been updated for 2 years. .. wtf! The only thing I’m stuck with are iFrames. These suck, but at least work. Get a grip guys. You charge a lot of money for your service. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9f187f178cbb8ab329ccbd86eeb11ff652410cafb56d8eb66a12297fc76f932b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Perfect – APIv2 is Much Better](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-allowing-new-embeds-as-of-today/)󠁿 [Nethers Web Design](https://profiles.wordpress.org/timnethersgmailcom/) 2 listopada 2017 12 replies Form cache can be refreshed immediately to pull in new forms rather than wait an unknown period for the new form to appear in your list. With 300+ forms the old plugin was quite slow, this one loads the forms from a cache, thus loads relatively immediately compared to the APIv1. Overall huge improvement. I would have given it 4/5 stars because the forms aren’t ordered, but Michael who made the plugin is amazing and provided a workaround via the support thread. Quite easy fix with roughly 4 lines of code (not sure why they haven’t pushed the changes as 2.0.2). Formstack is a great product overall, integrating with major players. If I had to give a cost to formstack in general (not the plugin) higher than average cost would be the biggest drawback for most small businesses. Ignore the 1 star reviews, this plugin works just fine if you can handle 5 minutes of setup. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/623946e3d0d42d38c24db160568cb27ba51446d88c62d57f9f129dee919939d4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn’t Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-1692/)󠁿 [cbalth](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cbalth/) 8 września 2017 2 replies The previous plugin worked fine.

Do not install this plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/50f8d114decbd3e2029918e77836d6608ae9b595233ecc13c4b6ee5ab659e869? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This doesn't work at all](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-doesnt-work-at-all-1/)󠁿 [zwilson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/zwilson/) 3 września 2016 I’m not sure wrapping if this is just this version or all versions, but wrapping your site in an iframe doesn’t constitute as a functioning plugin. Doesn’t work on WP 4.5 as far as i’m concerned.
