Takes
About 5 minutes
You'll need
A page with a form open in Elementor
Watch: “How to Use the Form Widget”, an official video from Elementor. It shows the same job on their own demo site, so your screen may look a little different. The written steps below are the ones to follow.
1
Click anywhere on the form. Its settings open on the left, starting with Form Fields.
2
Click a field in the list to open it. Change the Label, which is the question, and the Placeholder, which is the pale hint inside the box.
3
Click Add Item for a new field and choose its Type, such as Text, Email or Tel. Click the cross on a field to remove it. Short forms get filled in more often.
4
Open the field and switch on Required.
5
Open Email further down the panel. The To box holds the address that receives enquiries. Change it only if you’re sure of the new address.
6
Click Publish, then fill in the form on your live website and check the email arrives.
Check your junk folder first. If nothing’s there, tell us straight away, because real enquiries may be going missing too.
Put it back. Without it you can’t reply to anyone.
Your form may be made with a different tool. Ask us before changing it.
Tell us which page it’s on and what you’re trying to do. We can talk you through it or make the change for you.
