    When I changed the layout to have multiple columns, it causes the fields to become un-clickable. I hope most of us are facing this issue. However after lots of try and error I figure out that this might be due to conflict between css used by wpforms and the template. Good that wpforms allow to play around with style. Goto WPforms >> Settings. Under General Section against ""Include Form Styling", I saw "Base styling only" I changed this to "Base and form theme styling". This worked for me. Hopefully this should solve the issue for all.
  • Awesome. Switching from Aweber to you folks! So much easier to build forms.

    Thanks! Simple enough. Would love to see your demo on what happens when the input fields are uneven. Let's say you wanted to put your name, email etc. input fields all in "left" column; then you add your paragraph filed in the "right" column. Perhaps a demo on what happens when there's no input fields in the "left" column at all and everything is in the "right" column.
