Forms
A form. Build the fields here, set what happens on submit, then place the form on a page with the form embed block.
You will find it in the WordPress admin menu as Forms, stored as canvas_form.
What You Get
These decide where items appear and what you can do with them:
- One item is called a Form.
- Items have no page of their own: they are placed inside other pages.
- Editor features: autosave, editor, title.
Demo
A panel on the Form edit screen, holding these settings:
Demo
Load this demo's stylesheet, fonts and scripts on this content, and add its body class. Leave as None for content that is not part of a demo.
Demo Role
Marks this content as the demo's cart, checkout or other named piece, so the demo can link to it without storing an ID. Free-form; used with the Demo above.
Shown when Demo is set
Form Settings
A panel on the Form edit screen, holding these settings:
Form Type
Auth form types use WordPress authentication instead of standard actions. Design the form layout in the block editor, then the handler auto-maps fields by name (username, password, email, user_login). A Search Form stores nothing: it submits its fields as query arguments to the results page below.
Results Page
Where the search is sent. The page shows the results; its listing block reads the same field names as query arguments.
Shown when Form Type is "search".
Redirect After Auth
URL to redirect to after successful login/registration. Leave empty for home page.
Shown when Form Type is "login" or "register".
Auto-login after registration
Shown when Form Type is "register".
Default User Role
Shown when Form Type is "register".
