Available arguments

This page lists all the available arguments that may be passed when displaying a form, either using a shortcode or a function call.

submit_text

Text used for the submit button. Default to “Submit”.

[advanced_form submit_text="Send"]

advanced_form( 'KEY', array( 'submit_text' => 'Send' ) )

redirect

URL to redirect to after successful submission. Defaults to the current URL where the success message will be displayed after submission.

[advanced_form redirect="/thank-you"]

advanced_form( 'KEY', array( 'redirect' => '/thank-you' ) )

ajax

Enable AJAX for form submissions. This will remove the need for a page reload, making submissions faster.

[advanced_form ajax="1"]

advanced_form( 'key', array( 'ajax' => true ) )

values

Values to pre-fill fields with. Only works for function calls where the argument should be an array mapping field names or keys to values. If you want to programmatically pre-fill some fields you might want to use the af/field/prefill_value filter.

<?php

advanced_form( 'FORM_KEY', array(
  'values' => array(
    'first_name' => 'Fabian',
    'last_name' => 'Lindfors',
  ),
));

exclude_fields

Array of field names or keys to exclude from the form.

[advanced_form exclude_fields="field_name"]

<?php

advanced_form( 'FORM_KEY', array(
  'exclude_fields' => array( 'field_name_1', 'field_name_2' ),
));

uploader

Whether to use the WordPress media uploader or a regular file input for file fields. Use wp for the media uploader and basic for the file input. Defaults to wp if the user is logged in, otherwise falls back to basic.

[advanced_form uploader="basic"]

advanced_form( 'KEY', array( 'uploader' => 'basic' ) )

filter_mode
