So ...

Go to WPForms => Add New to create a new form.

Define the title for your new form and select a ready-made template. This time I'll create a simple contact form:

You'll be taken to the form builder interface.

You will see your form preview in the right column, and on the left you will see all the fields that you can add to your form.

Now you need to click on the "GDPR Agreement" field to add it to your form.

And you'll see it appear at the bottom of your form:

Just click on it and you'll be able to change the title of the form field, the agreement text, etc. You can even use the description box to add a link to your privacy policy or terms and conditions page(s):

Finally, click the "SAVE" button (top right corner) to store your changes.

Notes: The GDPR Agreement field is always a required field, and it cannot be pre-checked to comply with the GDPR law. Also, you can only add one GDPR agreement field to each form.

OK. Now let's move forward to the last lesson where I'll show you how to add your new GDPR compliant Wordpress form to your posts and pages ...

Great training! Thanks a lot! The screen shot "Edit Page - Add form" looks like the old WP version. I don't see this in the new version. Where can I find the "add form" in the new WP version? I don't see it... Thank you!

I assume you are talking about Gutenberg ...

If so, you can use the Shortcode block to insert the shortcode of your form

Gutenberg? What is Gutenberg? Shortcode of my form? What is a shortcode of my form?

The screenshot was made using the Classic Editor.

Gutenberg is the new deafult visual editor that comes with Wordpress 5.0

You can have both.

Each WPForm has its own shortcode that identifies the given form. See the screenshot. You can simply copy/insert that shortcode anywhere in your content to display the form

Ok, thank you, Zed. So that means there is no way to do it visually in Gutenberg, like there was in the old editor?

I am not comfortable enough with all of this to put this in the code part... so how do I go back to the old Classic Editor to be able to follow the instructions in this training the visual way?

Sorry to sound so handicapped but that's the way I feel right now about this... :-(

Thank you!

Thanks, Not been a member long but does this GDPR apply to the comments section, as you need to enter your name and email address when you comment, and how is this information stored.

Yes of course.

When the commenter is prompted to join, to enter an email, address, to link a social profile, etc we are talking about personal data.

My foot is very sore. I'm in the hospital, I have a whole lot of interruptions here. I read it. I'm half asleep today. I have not been feeling well this past weekend.
