Embed for Tally

Description

Add Tally forms to WordPress without editing HTML. Tally (tally.so) suggests pasting its embed code into a Custom HTML block. That works, but you get no preview in the editor, every option means editing HTML by hand, and page builders need a different approach again.

Embed for Tally gives you a Tally Form block that shows the real form in the editor, with every embed option in the block sidebar, and a [tally_form] shortcode for the classic editor, widgets, Elementor, Divi, Bricks and other page builders. Show a Tally form inline, as a popup, or as a slide-in, without touching HTML.

How to embed a Tally form in WordPress

1. In Tally, open your form, go to Share and copy the share link (it looks like https://tally.so/r/mRoDv3).
2. In the WordPress editor, add the Tally Form block. Type “tally” in the block search to find it.
3. Paste the link and click Embed. The live form appears in the editor.
4. In the block sidebar, choose inline, popup or slide-in, adjust the options, and publish.

Using the classic editor or a page builder? Paste the shortcode instead: [tally_form id="mRoDv3"].

Features

• Paste a form URL or ID. Share links, embed URLs and bare IDs all work.
• Three display modes: inline, popup (centred with overlay) and slide-in (bottom corner).
• Display options: hide title, transparent background, auto height, fixed height, left alignment.
• Popup and slide-in options: button text, button style, popup width, emoji, auto close, and open after a delay.
• Pass static hidden-field values from the block or shortcode.
• Any number of forms on one page, each with its own settings.
• Tally’s embed script loads only on pages where a form is rendered.
• A settings page with defaults for new forms, under its own Tally Forms menu.

Shortcode

Why this plugin exists. I built it for a friend who runs their forms on Tally and wanted them in WordPress without pasting HTML. It worked well, so I’m sharing it here for anyone in the same spot.

External services

This plugin embeds forms from Tally (tally.so), a third-party form builder. It does not work without it.

On every page where a form is rendered, the plugin loads Tally’s embed script from https://tally.so/widgets/embed.js and embeds the form from https://tally.so/embed/{form-id} (inline) or https://tally.so/popup/{form-id} (popup and slide-in). Tally’s script also sends the current page path and query string to Tally so they can be stored in hidden fields. Anything a visitor types into the form is sent to Tally, not to your WordPress site.

In the WordPress admin, the plugin contacts Tally only if you click Request this feature on the Tally Forms → Submissions page. That opens a short feedback form hosted on Tally (https://tally.so/r/1A85lO) and loads Tally’s embed script at that moment. The form sends what you type, plus the plugin’s version number. The plugin does not require a Tally API key.
