Description
This plugin will allow you to create optgroup’s in your select forms. This was created because Formidable does not give the capability to add optgroups, which is just silly.
Screenshots
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install from the repository - Activate the plugin from the Plugin menu in WordPress
- Install and activate Formidable Forms if it is not already active
- In your Formidable form, add or edit a Dropdown select box
- To create an optgroup, add a line with the group name wrapped in double asterisks, for example Cars, then list options below it
FAQ
- What if I want to use something besides two **’s? If you do, just edit the code to fit your needs. I kept this out of the database for speed, but I can add it in the future if people want it.

The plugin is fantastic. It's hard to believe that Formidable doesn't include this natively. Unfortunately, with the latest update of Formidable, the plugin has stopped working. I hope they can update it soon to make it compatible.

This is an awesome idea, executed improperly. Optgroups are meant to surround the options for which they apply, not to float above as their own option.
Revised after more information given.

This is a simple plugin that extends the functionality of Formidable by adding the basic element of optgroups. This should be standard in Formidable!
