How to create Dynamic Elementor Templates and Author Pages that are Editable by the User from the Front End

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!

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.

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.

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!
