How To Create a Form With Formidable Forms?

There are different memberships available on Formidable Forms, and for this review purpose, I am using the lite version. You can download and install the free Formidable Forms Plugin.

Formidable Forms WordPress Plugin free version

Once you install and activate the plugin, in your WordPress sidebar, choose Formidable -> Forms (Lite).

This is the page where you can find all the forms you have created. To create a new form, click Add New.

Click Add New Button in Formidable Forms

The following page asks you to choose the layout. You can start with a blank form or go with an existing template or import your form.

For this tutorial, I am going with the blank form to show you all the field options available. Now, that brings you to the Editor page.

This is the place where you can customize how your form looks like. And the best thing is that it is user-friendly. It has already come up with helping arrow symbols to guide you.

In the build section, you will have to add a Form name, drag and drop the fields you require. Once you have finished all the settings, click the “Create” button.

The settings section will allow you to modify your preferences for this form, and the Entries section will let you see the Entries you received for this form.

The most important thing with form creation is adding your form to the post or page.

To do that, just go to the Forms (Lite) page, where all your forms will be displayed. Copy the shortcode and paste it where you want to show it.

I have created a simple form, and this is how it looks.

Note: You can customize the style of the form. You can do that at the Style subpage under the Formidable menu. This is how the Style page looks like.

Formidable Forms Add-Ons

Apart from the features, Formidable Forms has got a lot of Integrations available. You can integrate by installing an add-on. However, these add-ons are available only for Pro users.

These are just a few add-ons that I captured for the screenshot. There are a lot more available.
