Adding Your Waiting List to a WordPress Site

If your site runs on WordPress, you don't need to hand-edit any HTML to add a waiting-list form to a page. The P4G Waiting List Embed plugin adds a block and a shortcode that do it for you.

One thing worth being clear on up front: this plugin only displays a form you've already built. Creating the form — the AI-assisted question wizard, the sales pitch copy, styling, submission limits, billing — all still happens on your Play4Gain dashboard, exactly as before. WordPress only needs one piece of information from you: the form's key.

Step 1: Build and publish your form as usual

Nothing changes here. Create your form, write your questions, and get it live the same way you always have at waiting-lists.play4gain.com. The plugin has nothing to do with this step — it only comes in once the form is live.

Step 2: Find your form's key

On your dashboard, each live form has a "Share your form" box with a link that looks like:

https://insights.play4gain.com/sl/form?key_id=377ffd4f-0df5-4532-9c3b-baa784a1c67d

The part after key_id= is the key the plugin needs. Copy it — you'll paste it into WordPress in Step 4.

Step 3: Install the plugin

Step 4: Add the form to a page

Two ways to do it — pick whichever fits how you edit that page.

Using the block editor

• Add a new block and search for "Waiting List Form".
• With the block selected, open the block settings in the right-hand sidebar and paste your form key into the Form key field.
• A live preview of your form appears right in the editor.

Using the shortcode

If you're editing in a Classic Editor block, a widget area, or anywhere else shortcodes work, use:

[p4g_waitlist key="377ffd4f-0df5-4532-9c3b-baa784a1c67d" height="700"]

The height attribute is optional (it defaults to 700px) — raise it if your form has enough questions that 700px leaves it cut off, or lower it for a short form.

Step 5: Match the styling to your site

The form loads in its own embedded frame, so your WordPress theme's CSS can't reach in and restyle it directly — that part isn't a plugin setting. Instead, go back to your dashboard and use the "Edit style" link next to your form. That page has a custom CSS field (paste directly, or upload a .css file) plus fields for the form title, sales pitch copy, and confirmation email message.

Save your changes there and the embedded form on your WordPress page updates immediately — no need to touch the block or shortcode again.

Troubleshooting

• Form shows a red warning instead of the form. The block or shortcode is missing a key, or it doesn't match a real form — double-check what you pasted against the "Share your form" link on your dashboard.
• Form looks cut off or has extra empty space. Adjust the Height field (block) or the height attribute (shortcode) to fit your form's actual length.
• Form isn't accepting submissions. Check your dashboard — this usually means the form has hit its submission limit or its plan has expired, not a WordPress-side problem.

What comes next

Once your form is embedded, everything else — running variants, sending traffic, and reading the numbers — works exactly the same as any other embed. See the full guide for that part.
