# Linking WPFORMS to a button

 * A quick question really, I have buttons on a page in Elementor and I`d like WPforms
   to open up when someone clicks on it. However unlike happyforms you cant apply
   a link to the button and if you try to set a dynamic (shortcode) assigned to 
   the button you are then presented with a 414 URI too long error. Popup boxes 
   dont seem to work.
 * So the question is can I link my WPform to a button of my choice?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi Ethan, yes we have spoken the only issue I have is I have the basic subscription
   and the suggestion of PRO wouldn’t be financially viable in terms of what I’m
   building. It’s not looking like I’m going to be able to create a form of my liking.
   How can I request a reimbursement?
 * TIA

 * Just an unaffiliated observer who uses WPForms. Here is my experience, assuming
   I understand this situation correctly >>>> I have used Elementor on projects,
   so I’m almost certain they have a modal plugin (a pop up box, of sorts). Although
   I don’t recall if I’ve followed theses steps exactly using Elementor, I have 
   completed it with pure js modals, etc.
 * Perhaps this fits your needs.
 * Button > opens modal > form placed within modal for completion
 * I am pretty certain I have done this successfully with a WPForms object (again,
   not certain if within Elementor). Only inconvenience I seem to remember is the
   person filling out the form had to close the modal manually once they clicked
   Submit. (I think….it’s how I remember but not 100% certain.) Just a thought.

 * Hi John, thanks for the suggestion I’ll give it a go and see if it does what 
   I need it to do. I really like the format of WPForms but even as a subscription(
   basic) it lacks a url link as happy forms do and that’s free but doesn’t do what
   I want it to do hence why I’m here.
