And your form should be using shortcodes to produce form on front end. Pasting code in WordPress content editor is not going to work, it will get “sanitized”. * Thread Starter [limostyle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/limostyle/) * (@limostyle) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninja-forms-not-working-1/#post-7178412) * Hi Chia my form is a plugin in wordpress with shortcode but it ends up with just lines on the web page and not as the form i made in ninja forms? * [Denzel Chia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel_chia/) * (@denzel_chia) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninja-forms-not-working-1/#post-7178546) * Look for an alternative contact form. There are many other free contact form plugins. * [tech55541](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tech55541/) * (@tech55541) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninja-forms-not-working-1/#post-7178547) * Hello, Ninja Forms works fine for me, can I please see a link where you are having a problem. And step by step instructions so I can better understand what your problem is? * Thanks. * Thread Starter [limostyle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/limostyle/) * (@limostyle) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninja-forms-not-working-1/#post-7178570) * Hi this is the outcome from my host and it looks like its the theme that is not working on any forms * FROM HOST The problem looks to be related to javascript — on the current theme, it’s calling several different files which is a little unusual, it’d generally be 1 or 2. * The Ninja Forms plugin looks to be using js too, so it looks to be causing conflicts, which stops the form working. * [tech55541](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tech55541/) * (@tech55541) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ninja-forms-not-working-1/#post-7178575) * Hello, Might want to try a different theme.
