11,737 PointsNewbie question regarding Ninja Forms Modal
Hi!
My name is Emil Wallgren and I'm currently building a website where I want to use Ninja forms modal. I've created a form in Ninja Forms with the id of 5...
I don't really understand how to use the shortcodes.
The link is named Contact Us and is placed in the header and footer. But I don't seem to get it to work.
Could some nice person help me explain exactly what to do to get it to work :-)
The link to the plugin is here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms-modal/
Thank you sincerely! :-)
/Emil

My two recommendations would be to visit the codex to get the PHP for using a short code (that's the part wrapped in square brackets): [ninja_forms_modal_form id=5 text_link="Contact Us"]
Here is a link to the codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode
I'm not sure if the short code is already pulling in an "a href" wrap to make that whole thing a link, so wrapping the short code in an a tag might be necessary too. Something to fiddle with :)

11,737 PointsThank you :-)
I got it to work by using the link. Now's the problem of putting it in a second-level wp-menu ;-)

18,938 PointsYou can add code to a menu item, as well as a sub-menu item. That might be something to try...I think it's when you add a "link" menu or sub-menu. I don't remember exactly, but I know it can be done :)
