Using Kadence forms as a widget

    Hi,

    I’m having problems with using the forms I made, in a widget (sidebar for products).

    What I’m doing: making the form in a normal page, copy the block, paste in widget.
    Result: the hidden fields (honeypot) are visible.

    Alternatively I tried by making a clean shortcode as I found on your pages, but that’s not working as it simply publishes the shortcode itself.

    Also: after submitting there’s no indication of action, such as a small spinner or the like. Fast people can click away before it’s being sent.

    Thanks for having a look!
    Petr

    Hi, You can’t add the html into a widget, that won’t run because it’s the connection with the block that triggers the javascript and everything else to function.

    If you are going to add a form into a sidebar you need to add it as a block either using our Pro addon which allows you to place elements anywhere or using some other plugin like: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/reusable-blocks-extended/

    ‘either using our Pro addon’: is that the blocks pro or some specific extra addon?

    Hello,

    Sorry for the delay, so the pro addon in this instance is the Kadence Theme Pro addon. This allows you to use Kadence Element Hooks.

    Thanks!
