The WPForms widget by Atomic Addons shows a form you built with the WPForms plugin and lets you style it in Elementor. You keep building the form and its notifications in WPForms; the widget places it and sets its look. This guide covers adding the widget and its settings.

Enable the WPForms Widget

WPForms is a Free widget and works with the free Atomic Addons plugin. It needs WPForms (the free WPForms Lite works): until that is active, the widget's card in the dashboard shows an Install WPForms button and cannot be turned on. Then switch it on:

  1. 1

    Go to WordPress Dashboard → Atomic Addons.

  2. 2

    Click the Widgets tab.

  3. 3

    Search for WPForms. You can also open the Forms / User category.

  4. 4

    Turn the WPForms widget on.

  5. 5

    Click Save Settings.

Add the WPForms Widget

Create your form first under WPForms → Add New, then:

  1. 1

    Open the page in Elementor (Edit with Elementor).

  2. 2

    In the widget panel, search for WPForms. The widget sits in the Atomic Addons category.

  3. 3

    Drag it into the page and set it up with the controls below.

  4. 4

    Click Publish (or Update).

Layout

Open the widget and go to Content → Layout. In Select Form, pick the WPForms form to show; the list says “No contact forms found” while you have none. Until you pick one, the editor shows a reminder and visitors see nothing. If WPForms is not active, the section shows a notice with an Install WPForms link instead.

Style the WPForms

Everything below is on the Style tab:

  • Label and Sub Label — the field labels and the small labels under fields such as First and Last name.
  • Input — colors, border, radius, padding and typography of the fields.
  • Submit Button — the button's look in normal and hover states.
  • Error — the error messages under fields.
  • Additional Option — Fullwidth Button stretches the button across the form.
