 * Hello, I currently have a form on the frontend of my website but need to incorporate
   some CMB2 fields into it as a group – is this possible as I have tried a lot 
   of ways using the tutorials provided and can’t seem to get them to work.
 * Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Have you tried/seen [https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Bringing-Metaboxes-to-the-Front-end](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Bringing-Metaboxes-to-the-Front-end)
   at all?
 * What existing form are you trying to integrate with? Is it something provided
   by Gravity Forms or similar, for example?

 * Yes, we looked at that but couldn’t quite get what it was on about, at the moment
   it uses another plugin to create the form and submit the post and it works fine,
   we just need to pull in more fields using CMB2, we managed to get it working 
   correctly using the dashboard to submit the information but can’t get it on frontend.
   Below is the code to make it work on the backend, if you can give any pointers
   on how to get those fields on the front it would be much appreciated, we have
   access to the files but no sure how we get them all to work.
 * Thanks again.
