Super Forms has it's own Visual Composer (JS Composer) element.
With this element you can simply Drag & Drop any form at a specific location in your page. After you dropped the element you can choose which form it should load simply with the use of a dropdown that will list all the forms you have created.

Please make change to the form it self, and not via the global settings under
Super Forms
> Settings
from the menu. Each form upon creating will grab the global settings, and use them. When a setting is changed for a form and it equals to the global setting, it will use the global setting now and in the future untill they differ from each other and only then the form will use it's own setting.Yes, dropdowns, radio buttons and checkboxes can retrieve options based on a selected CSV file that you uploaded in the media library of your wordpress site.

autocomplete
attribute. There are a couple of solutions which might help you:- For most browsers the simplest way to solve this would be to change the field name to a random string e.g
xY2a9z
instead of a normal name e.gaddress
- For Safari browsers the best way to make autocompletion work is to make sure your field name contains the word
search
. So if you have a field namedaddress
and you wish to disable autocompletion make sure to rename it to eithersearch_address
(as long as it contains the wordsearch
). - If the above methods both do not work, you might also need to remove the
Placeholder
for the field so that it doesn't contain any reference name to any possible autocompletion. For example, if your placeholder containsEnter your address
then the wordaddress
might trigger autocompletion in a given browser.
If you are getting the following error while trying to update Super Forms:
Unable to rename the update to match the existing directory.
It is always a permissions problem on your server. In any case you should contact your host about this so they can correctly set the permissions for your WordPress installation.
