Add a Form to Your Church Website for a Conference or Event
One thing you might want to do with your church website is put a signup form on it for a conference, event, or other activity. A lot of website builders and church website management platforms do not support adding these forms and ask you to use something like JotForm or a another form-related service. These can be easy to use and sometimes offer simple integration, but they also are an extra charge depending on your usage and can get confusing quite quickly.
At SolaSites, all of our sites come with a GravityForm license included in the standard monthly price of your church website! ($129/year value)
With an easy to use drag-and-drop platform, it’s fairly straightforward to add in forms asking for relevant information on participants. There’s even payment integration!
To create a new form, follow the following steps:
1. Navigate to the Forms Page by clicking “Forms” on the left-hand menu (or by going to https://YOUR_CHURCH_WEBSITE_ADDRESS.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms).
2. Click “Add New”
3. Go through the form builder to add the fields you’d like!
Add Form to Any Page
1. Select “Pages” from the left-hand menu (or go to https://YOUR_CHURCH_WEBSITE_ADDRESS.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page)
2. Select the page from the list that you’d like to add the form to, or click “Add New Page” to create a new page for the form.
3. Click the “+” button to add a block.
4. Search for and click “Form”
5. Select your form name from the dropdown menu
6. Click “Publish” at the top of the page to publish the changes!
Viewing Form Submissions
1. Select “Forms” from the left-hand menu.
2. Select “Entries” that now appears in the left-hand menu under “Forms”.
That’s it! If you don’t see the entries, just make sure that you have the right form selected in the dropdown 🙂
