Mautic Form Shortcode not working in WordPress

Sometimes there are just frustrating things that happen when integrating different services or platforms and this is the case when it comes to calling Mautic Forms or Focus items into WordPress.

There is the WP-Mautic plugin which is great, but lacking a little in documentation. It states that it is pretty simple, just go ahead and install the plugin, once it is installed configure it and you can call forms, focus items and dynamic content by using the different shortcodes.

I went ahead and did this and guess what ? Nothing happened.

My problem is that inside Mautic my base URL was defined as https://www.surge-mautic.com/. (I had changed it from the original https://www.surge-mautic.com/index.php)

The solution is in WP-Mautic URL you have to put in index.php at the end of the URL.
