Elementor Static Hosting <em>doesn&#8217;t generally support<\/em> Ajax on the static version of your site, so even if you were to follow the steps below, the form would forever remain in a <em>sending<\/em> status and never actually send the form submission. An example of an Ajax-dependent forms plugin is <strong>Ninja <\/strong>Forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use <strong>Formidable <\/strong>(with Ajax turned off) and other <strong>non-Ajax <\/strong>form plugins like <strong>WPForms<\/strong> or <strong>Formidable <\/strong>and others that we do not offer out of the box support for, you&#8217;ll need to sign up for a backend form service and do a little configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1<\/strong>. Sign up for a third-party form backend service. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.formbackend.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Formbackend.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>. Create a new form with the backend service of your choice. After you create a form, you should see a action URL that you can copy such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;www.formexample.com\/f\/9c44b333339f44f7<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3<\/strong>. Create a form with your form plugin, if you don&#8217;t already have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4<\/strong>. Visit the page on your WP site with the form. Right-click anywhere on the form, and select <strong>Inspect Element<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5<\/strong>. Copy the<strong> form ID<\/strong>. If your form does not offer a unique ID this approach will not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-15-1024x551.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37573\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6<\/strong>. Go to <strong>Publish Site<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Forms<\/strong> and copy the <strong>Form ID<\/strong> from <strong>step 5<\/strong> into the &#8220;<strong>Form ID<\/strong> field. Copy the form backend service action url from <strong>step 2<\/strong> into the  <strong>Action URL<\/strong>  field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-84-1024x365.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37698\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7<\/strong>. Click <strong>Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8<\/strong>. Test your form on the WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9<\/strong>. Publish your site to static using the red <strong>Static Publish<\/strong>  button in the admin bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10<\/strong>. Test your form on your static site. You should receive a form submission to your email upon every submission, and see the form submission in your form backend service of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>OPTIONAL<\/strong><\/em>: You can customize the fields that appear in the submissions if the form backend service has the option. For example, <strong>in Formbackend<\/strong>, you can go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Map fields or Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Hide fields<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>OPTIONAL<\/strong><\/em>: In the form backend service you selected, you can create a redirect to a custom thank you page URL that visitors would see after submitting the form. <strong>Note<\/strong>: this may be a paid feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is an Ajax form?
