Deactivate a Form
What Deactivating Does
The Deactivate option hides a custom form that's no longer in use.
Important: any and all submissions associated with a deactivated form disappear along with it. If you reactivate the form later, it reappears together with all of its submissions.
Steps
- Click the Forms tab on the vertical Dashboard menu at the left side of the screen, then click Custom Forms.
- Locate the form you want to deactivate.
- In the ACTIONS column, click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu for that form's row, then click Deactivate.
- Click Deactivate Form in the confirmation window to finish, or Cancel to back out.
Note: Any page on your website that still has a deactivated form attached to it will show that the form is unavailable — reactivating the form restores it there automatically, without needing to redo the page's widget setup.
To Reactivate a Form
- Toggle on Show Inactive in the Custom Forms window to reveal deactivated forms.
- Locate the form and use the corresponding action in its ⋮ menu to reactivate it — its submissions will reappear.
