Form Types

Overview​

Divi Form Builder for Divi 5 supports several form types. Choose the type in the Form module’s Content tab under Form Type to control what happens when the form is submitted.

Before you choose a form type​

Confirm these basics first:

  • You are editing the page in the Divi 5 Visual Builder
  • You added the Form module (not only a Form Field child)
  • You set a unique Form ID
  • You know the main submission outcome (email, create content, register users, login, or custom processing)

Form types​

  • Contact form — Send submissions via email with configurable recipient and subject
  • Custom form — Build forms with your own fields and custom PHP processing
  • Create Post / Page / CPT — Create or submit to posts, pages, or custom post types
  • User registration — Register or edit user accounts
  • Login form — Frontend login using WordPress (and optional ACF) user fields

Quick selection guide​

  • Choose Contact form when you only need to collect a message and send notifications.
  • Choose Create Post / Page / CPT when visitors should submit content on the frontend.
  • Choose User registration when visitors should create or update user accounts.
  • Choose Login form when visitors need frontend sign-in.
  • Choose Custom form only when you need custom code and hook-based processing.

For full module-level controls that apply to all form types, see the Form module reference.

Verify your setup​

After selecting a form type:

  1. Add only the minimum required fields for that type.
  2. Save and submit one test entry from the frontend.
  3. Confirm the expected result:
    • Contact: email sent
    • Create: content created as expected
    • Registration: user created/updated
    • Login: successful sign-in and redirect
