No Color Picker? Really?

Hi @vd11

I hope you are doing well. The hardworking WPMU DEV team implemented this feature quite a while ago. To change the color of your form and form fields from the default, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Hover over “Forminator” in the menu.
3. Click on “Forms.”
4. Click the “Edit” button on the form you want to modify.
5. Select “Appearance.”(Scroll down to access it)
6. Scroll down a bit to “Colors.”
7. Click “Custom” and change each field to your desired color(s).
8. Apply the settings.

You can find more information in the documentation here: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#colors

However, if mean a (color picker) feature that allows the end users to select color using color picker in a form, I am afraid that the feature is not yet available. If there is a workaround the support team will get in touch with you soon.

Hi @vd11,

When compared to other features which made it into the plugin, unfortunately, there wasn’t enough request regarding this feature that it was considered in a release.

We do have plans to add more fields which also include a Color picker, however, I’m afraid at the moment there isn’t any exact ETA we could provide.

I’m afraid there isn’t any easy workaround that could be suggested other than using the “Input” field to manually enter the colour. It’ll require a lot of custom coding to create custom fields which acts as a color picker.

I’ll make sure to bring this ticket to our team’s attention so that they are aware of your request.

Kind Regards,

Thank you for the replies. Yes, I meant the standard form color picker that lets users pick a color in the form they are filling out.

If I could just use actual HTML within the HTML field, I could add the
<input?type=”color”> myself. I’ve obviously tried that, but it gets sanitized. I also tried another suggestion I saw in a forum to run it through a shortcode, but that gets sanitized too. I’ve also tried adding the following to my functions:

add_filter( 'forminator_change_form_allowed_html', function( $allowed_html ){
	$allowed_html[ 'input' ] = array();
	return $allowed_html;
} );

But again, no workie. Since I really, really, really need this field, I may need to look into other options. If you guys can think of anything else I could try, I’d be happy to test it. Thanks, Tab

Hi @vd11,

I am afraid, as mentioned by @wpmudevsupport11 in our previous response, it requires a lot of custom coding to create custom fields that work as a color picker. Hence this is beyond the scope of support we can provide.

Rest assured, we have plans to add this as a default option with Forminator but unfortunately, an ETA on this is not available.

Hi @vd11

As said above, this was already forwarded to our developers and I am marking this thread as resolved, but if you have any additional questions feel free to let us know.
