Tell us what you are trying to do? I created a Form for adding Products on the front end. There are a few items that I dont understand - for example:
-I wanted to add a a Single Line as a Field so the Submitter could write their Name but instead it was the label that I named (Organiser).
- I also added a line for phone and email because I wanted the submitted to share their contact details but instead nothing appeared on the front end.
How do I add Fields Where the User can complete? such as their name and phone and email?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hi Gina

I can't quite follow exactly what the problem is from your post.

You have a form to publish product posts.

You want to add fields for name, phone, and email.

Do you want these fields to be saved with the product post when the form is submitted?

The generic fields it looks like you are adding are not saved. They are typically used to submit some data with the form that is handled by an API hook with PHP and then discarded.

If you want persistent fields that are saved with the product then you should add custom fields for these to products.

If you haven't already done so create a custom field group for products at Toolset > Custom Fields and add a single line field for Name, an email field for the email address, and a phone field for the phone number.

Were you to create a new products form these fields would be included automatically, but if you are editing an existing form you should now find them on the right in the Custom Fields section where you can add them to your form.

Please try that and let me know how you get on.
