Sometimes you may find it useful to embed single entries into a post or page instead of an entire View.

### Prefer to Watch the Video?

 When single entries are embedded in a page or post, they will be displayed according to how you configured the [Single Entry Layout](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/getting-started-gravityview/getting-started-adding-fields-to-the-multiple-entries-and-single-entry-pages/).

 Please also note that:

- Editing an embedded entry works as usual
- Multiple entries can be embedded in the same post or page

 There are **three ways** to embed single entries into posts/pages:

- Using the  shortcode
- Copying and pasting the single entry URL
- Using the "Add Media" button

 We will run through each of these methods below.

## 1. Using the  Shortcode

 The [ shortcode](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/shortcodes/gventry-shortcode/) allows you to embed a single entry in a page, post, or custom content field.

 The shortcode takes two parameters:

- entry\_id (The ID of the entry you want to embed)
- view\_id (The ID of the View that the entry is tied to)

 Here’s what a completed shortcode looks like:

 `[gventry entry_id="6" view_id="137"]`

### Locating the Entry ID

 To get the ID for any given entry in Gravity Forms, log into your WordPress dashboard, hover over *Forms,* and click on *Forms*. Next, hover over your form and click on *Entries*. You should now see a list of all the entries for that form. Click on an entry. The entry ID will be displayed in a box on the right side of the page.

*Locating the View ID*
 Hover over *Views* in your sidebar and click *All Views*. Select the View that contains the entry you want to embed. You can find the View ID inside the Embed Shortcode.

*2. Copying and Pasting the URL*
 First, open your View on the front end and click on an entry to bring up its single entry page. If your entries don’t link through to a single entry, read: [Linking to a Single Entry](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityview/getting-started-gravityview/linking-to-a-single-entry/).

*Once the single entry page has finished loading, copy the URL*![Single entry view with fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, Date Created](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-xJpNNQUztI.png)Next, create a new post or page where you want to embed the entry. To do this, click on *Posts (*or *pages)* and then *Add New*. Next, paste the URL you copied from the single entry page into the text editor.

*After pasting the URL, WordPress will display a placeholder showing where the entry will be embedded. If you’re using the*[WordPress Classic Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/), this will look similar to the screenshot below.

*Once you’re happy, save your new post or page and click to view it on the front end*
  **Note: The WordPress Block Editor will display a preview of the embed. The preview loads without styling, so it may look strange. But don’t worry; your entry will look normal on the front end.**

## 3. Adding Media

 Instead of pasting the URL directly into your page editor, click the “Add Media” button and then click the link that says “Insert from URL”.

*!*["Media insertion interface highlighting 'Insert from URL' option for embedding content."](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-7pHTrp3XUH.png) Paste the entry URL into the "Insert from URL" input field.
