Before You Start

Troubleshooting

Can I add the same Inline campaign to multiple places on the same post or page?

No, it’s not possible to display the same campaign in multiple different places of the same page/post. Only the first embed code present on the page will load the campaign and any additional instances of the embed code will not display the campaign.

To show the same campaign in multiple places on the same page/post you’ll need to duplicate the campaign in your account and add the embed code for the duplicated campaign where you want the campaign to show a second time. Repeat as necessary.

Can I manually type my shortcode out?

Yes! If you do not want to navigate to the Output Settings screen each time you need a shortcode, you can type it out in this format:

[optin-monster slug="CAMPAIGN_ID"]

Replace “CAMPAIGN_ID” with the unique slug for your campaign. You can find this unique campaign ID following the Shortcode instructions above, or in OptinMonster’s Campaign Dashboard.

My Inline campaign is showing on a page where the shortcode is placed, but should not show according to my Display Rules.

By default, using the shortcode will force the campaign to show despite its Display Rule settings. If you want the campaign to follow the rules you set in the Display Rules, you can add the parameter followrules=true like this:

[optin-monster slug="CAMPAIGN_ID" followrules=true]
