Hi all,
Sometime around November 18, a new wrapped embedding code was rolled out. Unfortunately the new code is not caring on hidden fields when embedded in WordPress, so the other apps like Zapier, are not able to pick hidden fields to process the information. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
I have been using Zapier to send my Typeform results to a Excel, because Typeform integration to Excel is very limited.

You need to first select “Embed in a webpage” - red, then select an existing embed - blue (or create a new one) and then select the advanced tab - green on your right.
What you are doing in the video is updating the hidden field value in the form link, not the embed.
The hidden field value will not display in the code, as it is stored on our server and fetched when the form is rendered.

+5Hi
we are aware the initial version of the new embed code had this issue. However we have recently fixed this issue.
You should be able to build a code like this:
<div data-tf-live="<id>" data-tf-hidden="name=Matej,role=engineer"></div>
<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>Or alternatively read all params from URL and pass them as hidden fields:
<div data-tf-live="<id>" data-tf-transitive-search-params></div>
<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>
Can you please provide an example of you embed code or URL to your page?
Hi
This is the code I get when selecting the “Embed your typeform with Wordpress” option:
<div data-tf-live="01HGTTXNAKV75Y4A62JSX34ZFD"></div><script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>
For this particular case I used a hidden field @nameofprogram=Test Program
When used, this code does not carryover the hidden fields into Wordpress or Zappier, making hidden fields unusables.
As is, that wrapped code does not show the hidden field, and when embedded in WordPress, the hidden field is not being carried into the output of the form
+5I can see in your embed code that you do not have a value set for the hidden field.
Did you set the hidden field value under the “Advanced” tab of the specific embed?
