Revolutionary Discovery: Effortlessly Insert Forms Without ID!

The solution to seamless form usage resilient to content migration, has been uncovered!

But how can we embed the form to be flexible to migration into new site where form ID is different? It turns out that if you have a form shortcode without “id” attribute it will search for the requested form by “title” attribute. And that’s it - so simple.

The source of discovery is this article: Embed contact form 7 in your custom theme

I must use shortcode and not block:

<!-- wp:shortcode -->
[contact-form-7 title="Get In Touch"]
<!-- /wp:shortcode -->

I believe it will function seamlessly with Polylang, although possible challenges may exist.
