How to create Dynamic Elementor Templates and Author Pages that are Editable by the User from the Front End
Elementor has become the de facto standard for building WordPress sites. It’s the Page Builder of choice for most WordPress designers. And guess what? BuddyForms is fully compatible with Elementor! Create forms of any type to use in Elementor.
Use BuddyForms Forms
Create ‘Contact’, ‘Post’, ‘Registration’, and ‘Profile’ forms and use them in the Elementor Page Builder.
Create Single View Dynamic Elementor templates
Create the single view template of your blog posts, pages, or any post type from BuddyForms form elements. Using Elementor, decide where and how to display the form field, and create a predefined design. With the help of BuddyForms, create the content by administering the front-end forms. Every entry will then look exactly as predefined before!
Display User Posts Lists
Display User Posts list in Elementor for logged in users to enable managing the submissions.
Get Creative with Post Types
Create Creative Member Profiles like Artist Pages, and allow your Artist to update relevant data. Even by mixing post and author data in one form, the data will be synced automatically.
Display Submission data in Elementor
Every form field can be used in Elementor by using Shortcodes or the native Elementor meta field. By using the form element slug as Shortcode you make sure that the output of the field is taken care of from BuddyForms and the field type will get displayed correctly.
Create a User Dashboard
Creating a User Dashboard enables your users to find all their submissions in one place. BuddyForms comes with a number of Shortcodes to list user submissions or links to relevant forms.
Forms to Update Author Data

Use Post or Author Meta Data in Dynamic Elementor Templates
In Elementor, you can add dynamic data to your templates. This dynamic data is called post metadata and author metadata. By default, they are available as dynamic elements in Elementor. BuddyForms stores all data as post metadata and author metadata, which gets collected by BuddyForms in Elementor for later use.
Use Elementor with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)
BuddyForms is fully compatible with ACF. To create forms using ACF Fields, simply select the single ACF field or ACF Field Group in the BuddyForms Form Builder, and BuddyForms will seamlessly create a beautiful front-end form.
Use Shortcodes in Dynamic Elementor Templates
In Elementor it is quite common to use Shortcodes to display dynamic data. You can use any form element as a Shortcode in Elementor.

Create an Author, Member, or Artist Page with BuddyForms and Elementor
There are plenty of Elementor themes that already come with predefined designs and functionality. In this example, we use a ready-made theme for a music label along with BuddyForms to bring the Artist management and Artist Profile Updates functionality to the front end. This way, labels can create the artist profile, and the artists can update their own information or create new posts!.
