How to embed a Tally form in WordPress

Before you start

You need a published Tally form (a free account at tally.so is enough) and a WordPress site where you can add blocks. On WordPress.com, Tally notes that embedding needs a plan that allows plugins. See how to embed a Tally form on WordPress.com.

1. In Tally, open your form and publish it.
2. Go to Share and choose the Standard embed.
3. Adjust the options, such as hiding the title, a transparent background or dynamic height, and copy the embed code.
4. In the WordPress editor, add a Custom HTML block and paste the code.
5. Preview the page to see the form. The editor itself only shows the code.

Embed for Tally is a free plugin that adds a Tally Form block, an Elementor widget and a shortcode. It’s free on WordPress.org: in your dashboard, go to Plugins → Add Plugin and search for Embed for Tally.

1. Install and activate Embed for Tally.
2. In Tally, open your form, go to Share and copy the share link, which looks like https://tally.so/r/abc123.
3. In the WordPress editor, add the Tally Form block and paste the link. The live form appears right away.
4. In the block sidebar, choose inline, popup or slide-in, and set the options you need.
5. Publish the page.

Show the form as a popup or slide-in

Set Display mode to Popup or Slide-in. The page then shows a button that opens the form, centred with a backdrop or as a card in the corner. You can change the button text and style, close it after the form is submitted, and add an emoji. The form can also open by itself: after a delay, when a visitor is about to leave, or after they’ve scrolled part of the page. See how to open a Tally popup on exit intent, on scroll or after a delay. For Tally’s own popup code and the plugin side by side, see how to add a Tally popup form to WordPress.

Elementor, Divi, Bricks and the classic editor

In Elementor, add the Tally Form widget; it has the same options as the block (see how to embed a Tally form in Elementor). In Divi, Bricks and the classic editor, use the shortcode in the builder’s shortcode or text element. Tally Forms → Shortcode builds it for you:

[tally_form id="abc123"]

For a popup button:

[tally_form id="abc123" mode="popup" button_text="Contact us"]

Pass hidden fields

Add hidden fields in your Tally form, then give them values in the block’s Hidden fields panel, one key=value per line, or with the shortcode’s hidden attribute, for example hidden=”source=website”. Tally also receives the page address and its query parameters automatically. To fill them with UTM parameters, see how to pass UTM parameters to a Tally form in WordPress.
