Adding and Editing Fields in a Form (WPForms)
Forms are managed in WPForms, in the left-hand menu of your WordPress dashboard, not on the page where the form appears.
Go to WPForms → All Forms and click Edit on the form you want to modify. This opens the drag-and-drop form builder.
On the left panel, browse the available fields under Standard Fields (name, email, text, dropdown, checkbox) and Fancy Fields (phone, address, file upload, date/time). Click or drag any field to add it to your form.
Click on the new field in the form preview to open its options. Set the Label, choose whether it’s Required, add placeholder text, and configure choices for dropdowns or checkboxes. Use the Advanced tab for CSS classes or conditional logic.
- In the form preview, click the dropdown or checkbox field you want to change. Its settings open in the Field Options panel on the left, on the General tab, under Choices.
- To change the wording of an option, click into its text box and type the new wording.
- To remove an option, click the red minus (-) button next to it. To add an option, click the blue plus (+) button next to an existing one, or use Bulk Add to add several at once.
Changing or removing an option only affects the form from now on. Entries you have already received are kept as they were submitted.
Click Save at the top of the builder. Then visit the page where the form is embedded and submit a test entry with the new field filled in. Check WPForms → Entries to confirm the data came through correctly.
