There's a lot of buzz out there regarding the whole GDPR topic.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a 2016 regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).
In plain English: European Union’s GDPR law requires explicit user consent to store personal information, so users can have more personal control on their data stored on websites.
The law became effective on May 25th, 2018 ... and due to several reasons, lately has become a quite hot topic.
We've seen many valuable posts here at WA regarding this subject and no wonder, the usage of the GDPR Wordpress plugins has literally exploded.
But here's the thing ... Having GDPR compliant posts a and pages isn't enough!
Why?
Because, in order to ensure a full GDPR compliance, you'll have to display the consent option everywhere!
Having the consent displayed on your posts and pages is OK, but let's face it, usually, those posts or pages won't handle any user data ...
A typical Wordpress site may collect user’s personal information in many different ways, but the most common practice is by adding (using) forms ...
In other words: if there is a place where you should really use a GDPR consent option, that's definitely a form ...
Still, many site owners are using some sort of GDPR plugin (solution) to display the consent option almost everywhere, but on forms.
This is why I've created this short tutorial where I will show you how to display the onsent option on your Wordpress forms.
Interested?
Let's get our hands dirty!

If so, you can use the Shortcode block to insert the shortcode of your form
Gutenberg is the new deafult visual editor that comes with Wordpress 5.0
You can have both.
Each WPForm has its own shortcode that identifies the given form. See the screenshot. You can simply copy/insert that shortcode anywhere in your content to display the form
I am not comfortable enough with all of this to put this in the code part... so how do I go back to the old Classic Editor to be able to follow the instructions in this training the visual way?
Sorry to sound so handicapped but that's the way I feel right now about this... :-(
Thank you!
