What it does
Long registration forms can feel like a wall of fields, especially when you collect profile details beyond a username and password. This add-on lets you split those forms into logical sections so visitors see a smaller set of fields at a time. It works with the registration and edit profile forms you build in Profile Builder, so you keep your existing fields and simply decide where each step should break.
Setup happens inside the form editor. You click a plus sign to add a break point and a minus sign to remove one, which makes it easy to rearrange the flow later. You can turn multi-step mode on for some forms and leave others as single pages. Visitors move between steps using pagination or tabbed navigation, and the styling of those controls can be customized to suit your site.
Best for
- Membership sites with long registration forms
- Online communities collecting detailed member profiles
- Profile Builder users wanting step-by-step signup flows
Features
Add form break points
Divide a registration or edit profile form into separate steps by clicking the plus sign wherever you want one section to end and the next to begin.
Remove break points quickly
Change the form flow at any time by clicking the minus sign on a break point, merging two steps back together without rebuilding the form.
Per-form multi-step control
Enable or disable multi-step behavior on specific forms, so a long signup form can use steps while a short form stays on one page.
Pagination navigation
Let visitors move forward and back through form steps with built-in pagination that shows where they are in the process.
Tabbed step navigation
Use customizable tabs as an alternative way to move between steps, giving users a clear view of each section of the form.
Works with profile editing
Apply the same step-based layout to edit profile forms, so members updating longer profiles get the same organized experience as new registrants.
No coding needed
Adjust the layout and flow of your multi-step forms from the form editor without writing any code.
Questions about Multi-Step Forms Add-On
Does this work without Profile Builder?
No. It is an add-on for Profile Builder and works with the registration and edit profile forms you create there. You need Profile Builder in place for the multi-step options to appear and apply to your forms.
Can I use multi-step on only some of my forms?
Yes. Multi-step functionality can be enabled or disabled on specific forms. That means you can split a long registration form into steps while keeping a shorter form, such as a simple edit profile form, on a single page.
How do I decide where each step starts?
You add break points directly in the form by clicking the plus sign between fields. Each break point marks the end of one step. If you change your mind, click the minus sign to remove it and the sections merge back together.
What navigation options do visitors get?
Visitors can move through the steps using pagination or tabbed navigation. Both act as progress indicators so users know which part of the form they are on, and the tab styling can be customized to match your site.
