Forms to Append to Existing Database (4 posts)

    Because I haven't found a plugin that will create a form for appending data to an existing database, I tried to paste the form code from another web site into the html side of a wp page. The form looks okay, but most of the <form> code was stripped out, so my submit button is not showing up, and the form basically does not work.

    How would I go about creating the form so that the WP editor does not remove the code?

    Thank you.

    Try creating a custom page template that holds your form markup/script.

    Thanks. I did that, pasting the code where I think it goes, and most of the fields showed up on the page. It didn't remove the <form> tags, but the submit button and fields for choosing email format are gone, and it also removed my page sidebar.

    Sounds like there's something wrong with your custom template.
