 * Awesome plugin! Is there a shortcode option to place the form in a post as opposed
   to a sidebar widget?

 * Hi,
 * Yes, you can technically deploy sidebar widgets using a shortcode.
 * `[optin-cat id=1205]`
 * Replace 1205 with the post ID of your widget.
    (What is my post id? [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-can-find-the-post-id?replies=5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-can-find-the-post-id?replies=5))
 * Cheers,
    David

 * Just using this plugin since today. I’ll wish to put the form in my homepage.
   Using Visual Composer. There’s any shortcode to insert in the page to connect
   the Optin Cat plugin/widget?
    Here’s my homepage (www.handinasteppy.it). I’ll
   want to put in the bottom above the credits (in the blank space).
 * I’m using the free version.
 * Thanks
 * Nunzia
