With this tutorial we will show you how to complete a selection field in Formidable Form. Formidable form<\/strong><\/a> is one of the best form creation plugin available.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Create a form and add a selection field<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

You can create a form, configure it and add it where you want it on your WordPress website.<\/p>\n

Once the form is configured, you can add the necessary fields. (Note that some fields are only available in the PRO version)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\"\"<\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

For this example, we will add a custom selection field.<\/p>\n

By clicking on our field, we can see its ID on the right-hand side<\/strong>. This ID is important as we’ll use it for certain queries.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

For this query, we will create a frm_setup_new_fields_vars<\/strong><\/a> function from Formidable Form.<\/p>\n

To edit resulting values, we will add the frm_setup_new_fields_vars<\/strong><\/a> filter.<\/p>\n

In our function, we will fetch our ID (72<\/span>) of the field where the results will be displayed; i.e. our posts.<\/p>\n

In our function, we created a default label for our selection. (For our example, we’re using Select a question<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

label => “Select a question”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

And finally, in your query, you can adapt whether you want to display posts or pages.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
$positionQuery = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'questions', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'orderby' => "menu_order", 'order' => "ASC") );<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
