Based on the post type, you will see that some fields were already added to your form. You can delete and reorder fields. You cannot delete mandatory form fields and you will see a lock icon next to them. To add elements to your form simply drag-and-drop them to the desired location.

When you are done, click Continue to proceed to the final step.

Displaying Toolset forms

To display Toolset forms on the front-end, use the Toolset Form block. You can insert it into any WordPress content including pages, posts, and templates.

Display form elements side by side

You can easily arrange form elements side by side. Simply drag-and-drop them next to each other.

However, for this to work, Bootstrap must be enabled on your website. Toolset forms use Bootstrap’s responsive grid system and some other components.

By default, Toolset sites should have Bootstrap enabled. If you cannot drag-and-drop form elements next to each other, go to the Toolset → Settings page and find the Bootstrap loading section. There, make sure that the Toolset should load Bootstrap option is selected. You can select between Bootstrap version 3 and 4.

Once your site is loading Bootstrap you will be able to arrange form elements next to each other.

Style the form

Toolset forms look good and are responsive out-of-the-box. However, you might want to adjust their style to fit your website design even more.
