    Hello,

    I’m making a custom template for the signup form. I’d like to add placeholder attributes for my text input fields, but I can’t figure out a way to do that. From what I can see, this is the code that spits out the input field, and I don’t see a way to add other attributes other than ID:

    <?php $this->field->print_element_with_id(); ?>

    Try this before using the print method on the field:

    <?php
if ( $this->field->name == 'field_with_placeholder' ) {
   $this->field->attributes['placeholder'] = 'placeholder text';
}
$this->field->print_element_with_id();
?>

    Thank you! This worked for me.

    And if this helps anyone, I modified the code to use the help text as placeholder.

    <?php
if ( $this->field->has_help_text() ) {
   $placeholder = $this->field->help_text;
   $this->field->attributes['placeholder'] = $placeholder;
}
$this->field->print_element_with_id();
?>
