Create and embed your first Regal Form

Updated September 20, 2026

Create a Regal Form from the WordPress dashboard, add the fields you need, then embed the finished form on any page or post. Regal Forms provides one visual builder for field order, layout, notifications, confirmations and spam protection.

Create a Regal Form#

1. Open Regal Forms in WordPress.
2. Enter a clear internal form name and select Create form.
3. Select or drag fields from the field palette into the form canvas.
4. Select a field to edit its label, description, required state, width and type-specific settings.
5. Use the arrow controls or drag fields to change their order.
6. Select Save form and wait for the saved confirmation before leaving.

Configure the form#

Open the Form settings panel to change the form description, submit text, AJAX behaviour, CSS classes, spam protection and basic appearance. Multi-column widths collapse to a single column on narrow screens.

Add confirmations and notifications#

Add one or more email notifications and confirmation actions from the same settings panel. Conditions can decide when a field, notification or confirmation is used.

Embed the form#

Copy the shortcode shown in the builder, for example , into a page or post. You can instead add the Regal Form Gutenberg block and select the form. Both methods use the same frontend renderer.

WordPress explains how shortcode content works in its Shortcode API documentation.

Check the published form#

• Submit an invalid value and confirm the field error is clear.
• Submit valid test data and confirm the expected message or redirect appears.
• Check the entry under Regal Forms > Entries.
• Test desktop and mobile widths.

If the builder reports a permission error#

Confirm you are signed in as an administrator, refresh the WordPress admin session and open the form again from Regal Forms > Forms. Update Regal Forms if the problem occurs on an older build.
