In just a matter of minutes, you will have created beautiful and personalized registration, contact, and post forms for your website. The best part is that you don’t need any coding or CSS knowledge!

How does the Form Designer work? Let’s take a quick look at how to customize the general format of your forms.

Step One: Install BuddyForms

Once you have installed the plugin go to BuddyForms on your dashboard, click on settings and then click ‘Form Layout’. From there you will find a range of tabs which we will be going through in just a moment, so you’ll see directly how powerful the Form Designer is.

Step Two: Labels

You can describe the kind of information each field is collecting using either labels or placeholders. Labels are captions appearing outside the text fields while placeholders are example content or hints appearing inside of the text fields.

Step Three: Descriptions

You can choose to have a description box describing your forms. Pick whether you want the descriptions to appear above or below your form fields.

You can also customize the font size, color, and style of your form descriptions.

Step Four: Form Elements

Next, customize the look of your form elements (Email, Name, Phone Number, Website, About, Bio etc.).

This step lets you choose how you want your form elements to be displayed. Either in a row or a vertical list.

Step Five: Text Fields

Next, personalize the look of your text fields. From field padding to active field colors the form designer gives you a full playground of design options.

Step Six: Submit Button

The last setting to customize your forms is the look of the submit button.

You can use alternative text for the submit button. Common examples are submitted, submit content, pay now, send a message, contact us etc.

You also get to decide how you want the submit button to look like as you can set the alignment and size of the button.

Step Seven: Create New Form

Once you’re happy with your form design and layout settings, hit save and head on to create your first form.

Click on create new. You will be redirected to the plugin’s Form Wizard that has ready-made templates for various types of forms.

Choose either Contact, Registration and Post form.

Having already set your form settings, you’ll now simply have to add the fields you want on your form and you’re ready to go.
