 * Hello there, first of all, thank you for your plugin its been very useful for
   me. My only question is that its possible to use it without using short code.
   I am using another plugin to create a coming soon page visible to not logged 
   in users. The point is that this plugin does not work whit shortcodes.

 * I am confused – what doesn’t work without shortcodes? Google Forms or the other
   plugin?
 * Google Forms can definitely be used without a shortcode. When you define a form
   within the Dashboard, the form will have it’s own URL slug. The format of that
   slug will vary depending on your permalink settings but you can view the form
   using the “View Google Form” button once you save the form.
 * The form can also be added to the WordPress Menu system just like a post or page
   can. You simple use the standard menu editor and select the form you want from
   the list and add it to the menu. It will result in the menu resolving to the 
   page using the form’s permalink URL.
 * Now if you’re asking if a form can be added to another page without using a shortcode,
   the answer to that question is no, it cannot. There is nothing to add – the shortcode
   processing is what pulls the information into the page to build the form.
