Forms are more than just a way to collect information — they’re often the first step in starting a conversation. Maybe it’s a potential customer getting in touch, a user…

IvyForms 0.8 brings native Gutenberg integration, making it easier to add forms directly inside the WordPress block editor. This update is designed for users who build pages with Gutenberg and want a smoother, more visual way to work with forms.
Instead of copying and pasting shortcodes, you can now insert an IvyForm like any other block and manage it right from the editor!
Building Forms in Gutenberg Just Got Easier
Until now, adding IvyForms meant working with shortcodes. While functional, that approach breaks the visual flow of Gutenberg and makes page building more technical than it needs to be. You can’t see how the form fits into the layout while editing, and managing forms on more complex pages quickly becomes messy. For less experienced users, shortcodes also add unnecessary friction and room for errors.
With IvyForms 0.8, that friction is gone.
IvyForms now appears as a native Gutenberg block. You add it the same way you add any other block, directly inside the editor. There is no copying, no pasting, and no manual embedding. You simply select the form and place it where it belongs.
Forms are added visually, exactly where you want them, making page building faster, cleaner, and far more intuitive.
Why This Is Better Than Shortcodes
Shortcodes work, but they slow things down and clutter the editor. With the Gutenberg block, forms are added visually, making page building faster and easier, especially for the non-technical users.
There’s less room for mistakes, no copy-pasting, and a much cleaner editing experience. Everything fits naturally into the block-based layout, exactly how Gutenberg is meant to work!
What’s Next for IvyForms?
The Gutenberg integration in version 0.8 is just the foundation. It sets the stage for deeper block-based improvements that will make working with forms even smoother.
The focus going forward remains the same: improving usability, keeping things fast, and reducing friction in everyday workflows!
