#  Displaying Forms on Your Site

Convert Forms provides three methods for displaying forms on the front end. This article will explain each method to publish a form on your site easily.

## [Using the Form Menu Type](#menu)

To create a menu item that displays a form, go to your menu, press "New" > Locate "Convert Forms," and then select "Form."

![create convert form menu item](https://www.tassos.gr/images/load-cf-via-menu-type-select.png)

Then go to Options > "Select Form" and select the form you wish to display on the front-end of your site.

![select convert form menu item](https://www.tassos.gr/images/load-cf-via-menu-type-select-form.png)

Finally, save the menu item, and on your site, you can navigate to the menu item you created, which should display the form you have selected.

## [Using the Convert Forms Module](#module)

Below you will find all the necessary steps to create a module that will contain a form.

![convert forms module](https://www.tassos.gr/images/convert-forms-module.png)

- Navigate to **Extensions** -> **Modules**
- Click **New** to create a new module
- Choose **Convert Forms** from the Module Type list
- Type a **Title** for your Module
- Choose the form from the select box and assign it to whichever page you'd like
- Click **Save & Close,** and you are done!

 If you're using **Conservative** or **Progressive** **Cache** and you have dynamic content in your form, such as [Smart Tags](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/features/smart-tags) or fields populated with code, you must set the module's **Caching** option to **No Caching** to prevent outdated content.

## [Using Form's Shortcode](#shortcode)

A form can also be loaded using the `{convertforms ID}` shortcode. Where you substitute the 'ID' part with the ID of the form you are interested in. Like all of Joomla's shortcodes, you can use it inside a content article or a module with Custom HTML.

 If you're using **Conservative** or **Progressive** **Cache** and you have dynamic content in your form, such as [Smart Tags](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/features/smart-tags) or fields populated with code, you may face issues with outdated content.
