Title: [Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] Dropdown menu Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] Dropdown menu * [Gaperville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbboyd/) * (@sbboyd) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/) * I can’t see how to add a list on a dropdown menu. I tried to edit the states just to see how and can’t even see where all the list of states are. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-contact-forms/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-contact-forms/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [knappen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knappen/) * (@knappen) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/#post-2369347) * 1. You must hit the “more options” and then use the “attach options” drop down to individually add items* in the order you want them to appear. * 2. Click the (Check to attach option) box. * 3. Click the check box next to the field slug * 4. Change the bulk actions drop down to “Save” and hit the “Apply” button. * 5. Repeat actions 1-4 for each field you wish to nest inside your dropdown. * *If however, you do not yet have any items/options you can create them by clicking the word “create” in the sentence “* Detach field options you create . ” Shown on the left side of the box. These need to be saved and attached in the same laborious manner. (Unfortunately, there is a bug here and you cannot always create new items for the drop down.) * Thread Starter [Gaperville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbboyd/) * (@sbboyd) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/#post-2369424) * Rock on knappen! Thank you kindly for your response! * Thread Starter [Gaperville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbboyd/) * (@sbboyd) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/#post-2369450) * Fast Secure Contact Form may be found here: Please use it now and NOT this one. SUCCESS!!! [http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com) * Whew! I’m in overload right now. I have no idea what your talking about and where to go to add my list of subject. * I’m trying to edit the states too just to get an idea and can’t find that also. * I’m wound up between field options and fields. Not even close to getting this figured out as your posting promised this would be much easier than the other contact plug in. Can’t imagine what it would be like by adding attachments, as I would need multiples of those. Not counting the 40-60 images that needs to be attached to either radio buttons or check marks. * This is way too much for me as I usually have this kind of thing figured out in a jiffy. * I gave this plug a second chance and I’m still lost in the same place. * It would be nice to even see all the states listed somewhere just to grasp whats going on. * In the field options, I have added several times: Create a Field Option: * Same slug, “subject”, different option label, and nothing shows in the option label. It would seem like it would make sense to add as many option fields as possible such as all the states. Their is only one option label in the dropdown menu. * Step 1: Create a Field Option Step 2: Option Slug: subject Step 3: Option Label: Please Select One, I’m a massage customer, I’m a massage therapist * SEE HOW EASY THIS WOULD BE? * This didn’t work as the dropdown showed all of these in one dropdown: * Repeat as follows: * Step 1: Create a Field Option Step 2: Option Slug: subject Step 3: Option Label: I’m a massage customer * Repeat as follows: * Step 1: Create a Field Option Step 2: Option Slug: subject Step 3: Option Label: I’m a massage therapist * When trying this way, nothing shows other than my initial slug created. * As of now, I’m so mesmerized I can’t even think straight. * Right now my dropdown menu shows the same thing as the label and in the dropdown menu. As Follows: * What Is Your Subject Matter? * In the field options it says: * 1: slug: subject 2: label: What Is Your Subject Matter? 3: value: Please Select * Going to the tab of: Fields * Create a form field: 1: Field slug: subject 2: Field Label: What Is Your Subject Matter? 3: Field type: Dropdown 4: initial Value: Please Select 5: Required: YES 6: Field Error: Choose One of the Options 7: Click on the Create Filed Button * Repeat As Follows: Create a form field: 1: Field slug: subject 2: Field Label: What Is Your Subject Matter? 3: Field type: Dropdown 4: initial Value: I’m a massage customer 5: Required: YES 6: Field Error: Choose One of the Options 7: Click on the Create Filed Button * Repeat As Follows: Create a form field: 1: Field slug: subject 2: Field Label: What Is Your Subject Matter? 3: Field type: Dropdown 4: initial Value: I’m a massage therapist 5: Required: YES 6: Field Error: Choose One of the Options 7: Click on the Create Filed Button * Now Going to the Forms Tab: * Under Manage Forms: * [customcontact form=4] is selected to customize: * Step 1: Clicked on the More Options Button Step 2: Attach Field: subject Step 3: Clicked on the Attach Button Step 4: Select Save and then Apply Step 5: Test the contact form * FAILED: THE REASON WHY: THE LABEL THAT SHOWS ABOVE THE DROPDOWN MENU ARE AS FOLLOWS: * * What Is Your Subject Matter? * FAILED: THE REASON WHY: THE DROPDOWN MENU SHOWS: * What Is Your Subject Matter? * 1: NEXT OPTION: DELETE EVERYTHING AND DETACH EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE DONE AND START OVER IN ALL THREE TABS OF FORMS, FIELDS AND FIELD OPTIONS * 2: NEXT OPTION: REPEAT BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY: * 3: READ THE PLUGIN USAGE MANUAL AGAIN FOR THE 5TH-10TH TIME: BY THIS TIME ITS 4:43 PM, IVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ONE THING SINCE 2AM AND I’M STILL STUCK ON THE SAME ISSUE * I have repeated these steps in many various ways and have read your directions many, many times. * I feel lied to, cheated and ripped off. You have in your download area, that this is simple. Well Duh. * This plugin is broken and should be taken off the WP list: I feel for you for the amount of wasted hours you have put into this. * This is in hopes that others will read this and get just as much brain damage from reading it. * Ive already had 5 forms created, customized, and tested in 1hour with my Fast Secure Contact Form versus this one in 2days. * Fast Secure Contact Form may be found here: Please use it now and NOT this one. SUCCESS!!! [http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com) * In your plugin dialog, your PROMISE WITH THIS: * Guaranteed to be 1000X more customizable and intuitive than Fast Secure Contact Forms. * THIS IS A LIE AND A SCAM: You mentioned in your reply, there is a BUG. * Boy I Say, your the BUGy BUGy BUG for sure. * I HATE LIERS AND SCAM PEOPLE LIKE YOU! HOW DARE YOU PROMISE ON YOUR GUARANTEES! * Fast Secure Contact Form may be found here: Please use it now and NOT this one. SUCCESS!!! [http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com) * 1: I have tried in many ways to customize this form with just a simple dropdown menu. FAIL * 2: I have read the user manual documentations several times and i can’t even come close to figuring it out. FAIL * 3. Fast Secure Contact Form may be found here: Please use it now and NOT this one. SUCCESS!!! [http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com) * 4: COPY AND PASTE THIS POSTING AND SPREAD THE WORD LIKE A VIRUS SUCCESS!!! * [knappen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knappen/) * (@knappen) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/#post-2369453) * While I understand you wrote the above while frustrated, you may not post in this disrespectful manner. This is a forum for peer assistance. This particular plugin was authored by a single individual who has provided it, quite generously, free of charge to anyone who wishes to use it. If you are not committed to fixing a few issues, continued learning and helping others, you have no business working with open source software. * Technically, it sounds as if you were having a plugin conflict that crippled the user interface. I am glad you have found a satisfactory substitute. * [jansteen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jansteen/) * (@jansteen) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/#post-2369502) * Well, I can not create a dropdown menu either. I follow the instructions and click on create but nothing happens. So there is a bug so you can not create dropdown menus. I think the author could have mentioned this instead of bragging about how easy it is. * Anyway, how can I be of assistance to help fix this bug? And can we expect it to be fixed anytime near? * Thank you. * Jan * [jansteen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jansteen/) * (@jansteen) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-custom-contact-forms-dropdown-menu/#post-2369503) * Well, forget my last post, I was just a little slow. Actually, this plugin is bloody fantastic.
