# [Plugin: WordPress Form Manager] ability to call form

 * I tried to use a shortcode to a form on one of the more complicated pages in 
   my site (uses several plug-ins), and it breaks the page. Is there a way for me
   to call & pass the data to wp-form-manager form to process? I want to utilize
   the ability to write the info to the database & retrieve via csv file. I can 
   try to hack this, but thought I’d ask first. Thanks for any info you have.

 * There is an API function, fm_doFormBySlug($formSlug), but this is just what the
   shortcode uses. How exactly does it break the site? That definitely shouldn’t
   be happening.

 * Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I saw that API & thought I might play with
   it to see if I can get it to work.
 * So, if you really want to see how it breaks… 🙂
 * Here’s a test page where I am calling the wp-form-manager [form zip-oneline].
   It’s a form with 1 field, a custom validation, & a custom display. (Love the 
   ability to customize all that!!)

 * I was able to create this form on another test page & it works exactly as I wanted,
   but it breaks when I put it on the home page. Here’s the page where the wp-form-
   manager is working.

 * Currently, on the home page, I have coded my own form (but it doesn’t write to
   the db, only posts to another page for processing). Here’s what it looks like:

 * Admittedly, I haven’t done much trouble-shooting on this yet. As you’ll see, 
   it’s a pretty busy home page, so I assumed there was some plug-in conflict somewhere.
   If you have any ideas, that would be awesome. In the meantime, I’m continuing
   to find a way to make it work. Thanks!

 * I looked at the first page you linked to, and the form code, along with some 
   other stuff, is there but commented out. I don’t know what would cause that, 
   though.

 * OK, this is really embarrassing… The code to which you referred was my form code
   that I commented out in an attempt to replace with the short-code to wp-form-
   manager. I just removed the commented code & now the short-code works… How strange
   that it didn’t work with the commented code in there! Anyway, thanks for the 
   email that prompted me to try that!
