Regarding Integrated Code

Running the following generated code or your entire functions.php file through a .PHP validator will decrease the risk of a crash, but it will not catch everything. For more information on .PHP validation, refer to https://phpcodechecker.com/

This integration tool is provided as-is to assist with the setup of integrating Formidable Forms, but this may run into complications due to the configuration within Formidable Forms. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • A non-standard Formidable Forms configuration
  • Other plugins that interfere
  • Additional parameters outside of SharpSpring's control

If native form code has been placed on the page already, it should be removed. This .PHP code replaces its function.
