You can include multiple petitions on a page – though be careful it might become confusing – notice that this one is set to not collect address data. And using custom CSS you can make it as ugly as you like :o)

A completely different petition

Perhaps you just want to display the petition title e.g. Sign our petition: [petitiontitle id="1"] becomes

Sign our petition: We love SpeakOut! WordPress petition plugin!

To display the petition message independently of the petition on your page, use [petitionmessage id="1"]

You can also have a list of petitions that go to a single page but load a different petition on that page – try re-loading this page but with a different petition: https://speakoutpetitions.com/speakout-demo/?petition=8. You can jump back to the original petition via this link https://speakoutpetitions.com/speakout-demo/?petition=1

The width can be changed in the shortcode [emailpetition id="1" width="100%"] and a petition can be centred like this [emailpetition id="1" class="aligncenter"] – see all the options on the advanced settings page
