Edit your forms
Instructions:
The forms on your website can be customised to collect different types of information from your visitors. This tutorial shows you how to edit your forms using Gravity Forms.
Open your form
- Log in to your WordPress website.
- From the dashboard, go to Forms.
- Find the form you would like to edit.
- Click Edit.
Most of our websites use Gravity Forms. If you don’t see this option, get in touch with us as your setup may be different.
Add a new field
- In the form editor, you can add new fields using the available options.
- Choose the type of field you would like to add.
Some common fields include:
- Name.
- Email.
- Phone number.
- Address.
- Date.
- Text fields.
- Add a label for your field.
Even if you are using a placeholder inside the field, it is still important to add a label. This helps identify the field in the backend and when you receive form notifications.
Adjust field settings
You can customise each field by changing settings such as:
- Placeholder text.
- Field size.
- Required fields.
- Visibility settings.
For field sizes, keeping it set to Large usually works best as it will automatically scale nicely across different devices.
Add an address field
If you need to collect an address, you have a couple of options.
You can use:
- A full address field for detailed information, such as shipping details.
- A simple text field if you only need a general location.
Choose the option that best fits what you need from your customers.
Add spam protection
To help prevent spam submissions, you can add spam protection to your forms.
Some websites use:
- reCAPTCHA.
- Turnstile.
If you see Turnstile available, use that option instead.
Save your changes
- Click Save Form.
- Refresh your website.
- Check the form on the front end to make sure your changes are showing correctly.
That’s all there is to editing your website forms. Feel free to have a play around and see what works best for your website.
