How to Create a Multi-Page Form in WordPress
Step 1: Install and Activate the Plugin & Addon
Firstly, you need to install and activate the WPForms plugin on your WordPress website.
Please note that the free version of the WPForms plugin doesn’t come with the Page break functionalities so you’ll need to buy a Pro license of WPForms to get access to this feature. You can get WPForms Pro License at a discounted price by clicking here.
Once you’ve purchased the license key, just head to WPForms >>Settings from your WordPress dashboard and verify the license key to get started.
Step 2: Create a New Form
After verifying your license key, you’re now ready to create your first multi-step form in WordPress. For this, head over to WPForms >> Add a new page.
Now, from the list of pre-made templates, select the Simple Contact Form template and name it.
You’ll see a donation form like this:
You can modify this form simply by dragging and dropping fields from the left-side panel.
You can also select any other template based on your form requirements such as Servey form, Job application form, Poll form, and more.
Step 3: Split Your Form to Multi-Page
After customizing the form fields for your form, you’re ready to add a new page to your form.
To do this, click on the Pagebreak field from the left-hand panel under the Fancy Fields section and place it in your form where you want to split it.
This will add a pagebreak marker to the bottom and a “Next” button, to your form. You’ll also see a first-page marker at the top of the page. Click on it and edit your multi-page form properties.
On the left-hand side, you’ll see an option of “Progress Indicator” having three different breadcrumb style indicator bars such as connectors, circles, a progress bar, or none at all. For this guide, we’ll be using the Connectors progress bar type.
To customize, you can also choose the color of your page indicator and title for the first page.
Next, click on the Page Break section to edit its properties. Here, you can customize the title of the next page and also edit the “Next” button that will take visitors to the next page on your form.
You can continue adding form fields after the pagebreak if necessary. Once you are done “Save” button on the top right corner.
Now, you’re are ready to add this form to your website.
Step 4: Add Your Multi-Page Form to Your Website
Now you have created the multi-page form, so the final step is to add to your website. You can add it anywhere on your site like pages, posts, or sidebar.
For this, go to Page >>Add New to create a new page and then click on the Add Form button to select the form you just created.
Now, hit the publish button so your form will appear on your website.
Isn’t so simple. 🙂
