I would have never know that Fluent Forms had its own widget. I was so lost that I was using CSS Hero to Style the form. Wowwww!!! Thank you for mentioning that on this video. I was lost.
Great video. You answered questions that many form builders support staff and hours of searching were unable to resolve: how to get data out of a form. Such an obvious need that mystified so many people: they offer their reports or an export function. I wanted a dynamic link to fdata elements for use within Wordpress without having to learn PHP. You did just a brilliant job explaining this. Many thanks. I'm now off to buy Fluent Forms.
Mindblown, I really should dig deeper into FF! So much potential, I'll have to dig into how this works with BuddyBoss/Press. Thanks for the video, and the use-cases. I've not played with ACF before, so I'll definitely have to check this all out.
I use FF Pro, but as a form builder, is not so performant as you might think. There are a lot of features that are not "Available at the moment", features that are easy to create and use with CF7. As for user creation form, that can only be used TO REGISTER but NOT to add a user if you are administrator which is a huge minus (maybe just in my case). Is great to use it for posts / custom post creation, but that feature should have a EDIT option too (without going to the backend to do it), as I saw in their Post Creation -> Post feed, they have an option for Submission Type: New Post / Update post. I cant figure out what that "Update Post" option is for.
4:13 "so I can't use any of the templates if I create a custom post type so I'll just make one from scratch." (re Fluent Forms and Custom Post Type) Does this mean that you can't create a custom post type that accepts payments?
Thank you for this very useful video. Could you possibly do a version of the tutorial for websites that use Divi instead of Elementor? I see that what you have done here can be adapted but it will be helpful and much appreciated if you have a video that is specifically for Divi builder just as you have for Elementor.
Thanks. So you can create a post with Fluent Form Pro, but can you show us how to edit a post? Also, only ACF's and FFP's text-related fields show up in the ACF mapping, what should I do? Thanks a lot!
@@dave-swift Thanks for your quick reply. So does that mean users can create content at the front end, but they can't edit the content from the front end, either admin or users have to go to the wp-admin to do that? As to FF support, does that mean FF only supports ACF's *text* related fields? Image, gallery, files, taxonomy are all not supported? Thanks again.
Hi again, My form has a "form validation" field that says: Do not submit the form if user already exist in database. Does this mean if I uncheck it and the user fills out the form again it creates a second page all over again? Checking it means only one submission per user? Am I understanding that correctly?
I don't want to use the email in the username field. How do you stop that from happening? The email field is saving as the username and the email in the database. Big up!
Great video, thanks. Do you know how can I add the user data from a text field onto my thanks page? I want to be able to refer to the user by name on the thanks page.
Ah, that’s not something possible with this tool. You can do it with Toolset however! Check it out, it’s a great plugin. I should make a tutorial for it. Here is my affiliate link: get.profitable.tools/toolset
You sure showed off some of the power of Fluent Forms, but your description didn't say which builder you are using. I don't use Elementor. Can you do one with Oxygen Builder?
Good question -- In this scenario it was primarily to demonstrate the feature. It isn't necessary but I do like to have users create a login when generating content so that there is accountability and as you mentioned if you set their user role correctly, they can login and modify their own content .
@@dave-swift ok great. So no need for a extra plugin to let the user makes some modification of the review, just the right role. I'll check this more in depth. Thanks for the quick reply and keep your good work !
I'm trying to make a website where users post articles. Is there any way to make it so that they must be logged in to post and that the post gets associated with their account?
@@dave-swift Not sure about ACF, but I have tried it with PODS and while I am having some issues, I think their me, not the combination. So, good news.
@@dave-swift Old eyes I guess. I was so pleased to see instructions I could actually use I never noticed anything about video quality. It's one of those videos I will have to play over and over to get my head around everything.

Thanks Graham! Good luck with custom fields, they're definitely the next level for WordPress sites.
This video sold me on Fluent Forms! Great stuff and thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks -Team Fluent Form , very useful video ,Fluent form has enough power and my lot of time is saved as I was planning to write a code for it .

You're welcome!
Great video Dave
Thanks John!

You are the bes
How to display the exact submission from the form to a post?

Hey Onyx, you just edit the post with the WordPress editor as normal :)
Yes, FF only supports custom fields from ACF right now.

Do you know how to add escrow payment functionality to a WordPress business website?
Love this!
Question: how would you allow logged in users to edit their previously submitted reviews??? (without editing anyone else's?)

No, sorry. I don’t use Oxygen.
Nice video ! What is the point about creating a new user ? Can he modify the content later ? Or it's just to get his mail ?

Superb!... Do you know if this process will work with Crocoblock instead of ACF? 🤔
No, I don’t believe FF supports anything other than ACF at this point.
I'm trying to make a website where users post articles. Is there any way to make it so that they must be logged in to post and that the post gets associated with their account?
Yes, but you'll need some more advanced tools than Fluent Forms. I recommend Toolset (profitable.tools/get/toolset/)
@@dave-swift Which tool should I get?
@@dave-swift The link just brings me to the home page
That's strange, it is the correct link. Let me re-try... profitable.tools/get/toolset
this one works, something funky with RUclips.
Nice!
Do you know if this works with Brizy or Brizy Pro instead of Elementor? Brizy Pro does offer dynamic fields.
If Brizy Pro works ACF then it should work.
@@dave-swift Not sure about ACF, but I have tried it with PODS and while I am having some issues, I think their me, not the combination. So, good news.
I like it. :-)
They just pushed ANOTHER update with dynamic fields.
Elementor! over 10 minutes in the it was mentioned
Sorry I don’t follow!
This is not a Fluent Forms - User Registration...
Why not?
"Drinking from a fire hose." comes to mind. Great video. I had not previously seen a use case that applied to my own sites. Thanks
Thanks for commenting again Paul, isn’t it nice to have a non-blurry version? 😂
