   I'm new to this, as will be obvious. I want to have a place in my footer for people to leave a comment. I have installed a TDO plug-in. do I have to write code to make it work?

   if you mean TDO Miniforms you should be able to place
   <?php tdomf_the_form(1); ?>
   in your theme's footer.php
   and it will work - replace the number 1 with your form number

   Thanks so much. I'll try it. I think I have it all set up on the plug-in management page so I think this should work.

   That worked in the sense that when the link is clicked on the form is there. But the form appears on the home page as part of the footer. Do you know how I should fix that? maybe I'm putting that code on the wrong part of the header.

   Well, on the footer, I have a link that says 'Leave your own Story'
   so when that is clicked on, I was hoping to have the form there on a new page for people to fill out. thanks for everything.

   ah then create a page titled
   Leave Your Own Story
   put the short code in the page
   [tdomf_form1]
   again replace the 1 with your form number
   save the page
   now just add a link to your theme's "footer.php" to that page

   Ok, I'll try it. I have the page already created. Are you saying put that code in the content of the page?

   [tdomf_form1]

    Thanks, for everything. I'll try that as soon as IE lets me open up the page. It keeps aborting, my host godaddy has screwed this up royally.

    Deleted duplicate thread started by nails64 that had this:

    I have the TDO mini form plug in installed, and I have the form configured, but I can't get the form to show up on the page I want it to show up. I have a place in the home page footer, 'Leave your own story' a link for people to click on so they can leave a comment. If I put the <?php tdomf_the_form (1);?> code in the footer.php the form just shows up on the home page, which I don't want. Does anyone know where I write that code so it shows up on the right page?

    Also closed two other threads of essentially the same topic and directed to this thread.

    Putting that code in the content part of the page simply results in those words appearing on the page. Is there a .php place I should write the code?
