Using a Form in a WordPress Theme Template File

The NEX-Forms PHP Output Function
This is the NEX-Forms PHP Output Function, which can be used anywhere on your WordPress template files to display a form. Replace YOUR_FORM_ID with the actual ID of any form you’ve created. This ID links directly to your form, allowing the shortcode to output the associated form in your theme template file.

The second argument tells the function to echo (true) or to return (false) the output.
<?php NEXForms_ui_output(array("id"=>YOUR_FORM_ID),true); ?>
Adding a Form's Shortcode to a WordPress Page

Great Support!

A great script that is incredibly well supported. Fast response times and very helpful. Building forms is very straight forward and easy to get the hang of, with a LOT of customisation options. Perfect for those who need a bit more power behind their form, and a very strong competitor to NinjaForms who we used previously.
