Formidable Forms

Formidable Forms

UC Santa Cruz maintains a custom stylesheet for use when creating forms with Formidable Forms. This stylesheet overrides many of the color defaults and ensures forms are styled consistently with UC Santa Cruz' brand.

Once a user decides they need to create a form, e.g., a "Feedback" form, they will need to either select the existing UCSC Style or create a new style called "UCSC Style". This will create a new class called .frm_style_ucsc-style that we utilize in our custom stylesheet.

UCSC Style

Once a user creates a form, they must enter the Style section of the Forms menu in the WordPress Dashboard.

Edit Styles

Once in the Style admin area, make sure you are also in the Edit Styles section. If the "UCSC Style" does not exist, click the "New Style" button and create "UCSC Style". Finally, click the blue "Update" button at the top right of the screen.

Manage Styles

Next, enter the Manage Styles admin area and make sure your form is assigned the "UCSC Style" template. Be sure to click the blue "Update" button if you change the assigned style template.

Import Styles (potentially/optional)

Notes: It may also be possible to import the "UCSC Style" via XML. The idea is to develop a "starter form", e.g., Feedback in a Dev site and create the "UCSC Styles" template to apply to it. Once it's developed, export both the form and the style as an .xml file. Include the .xml with the new site's setup files.
