 * Hi there.
 * How can I find out what the Short Code of a subscription form is? Unfortunatelly
   I couldn’t find any information in your documentation: [https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/297-create-a-form-with-our-editor#placement](https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/297-create-a-form-with-our-editor#placement)
 * I’d like to insert the newsletter subscribe form on the forntpage in WP Bakery
   Page Builder and I guess via Short Code is the only working solution.
   Thanks 
   in advance for your help.
 * Best, Fletsch

 * Hello there [@fletsch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fletsch/) ,
 * To display your desired form using the shortcode click form placement in your
   form settings (see screenshot below)

 * Hi Ojoma
 * Thanks a lot for your answer. That’s what I tried too but unfortunatelly I can’t
   see the Shortcod. It only shows a placeholder. See screenshot. Is this a bug 
   in the plugin or the translation? Have made all updates from WooCommerce, WordPress
   and Plugins.

 * But good to know how the shortcode is structured/written so I should be able 
   to insert it manually.

 * Hi 
   Actually it is only working with:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [mailpoet_form id=1] and [mailpoet_form id='1']
       ```
   
 * Another problem I’m facing is, that the form editor creates inline css styles
   which overwrites the theme styles. Other people seem to have the same problem
   and it let’s the forms look ugly. Eventhough if I have selected to take over 
   theme styles it doesn’t actually do it.

   Any solution for that?
