## Descrição

**Stop editing your forms blind.** Contact Form 7 is the most popular form plugin
for WordPress, but its forms are written as code in a plain text box. Visual Builder
for Contact Form 7 turns that box into a modern visual builder: you see your form
as your visitors will, and you change it with a click or a drag.

Your forms keep being 100% Contact Form 7. Visual Builder only helps you write them
faster and with fewer mistakes, so everything you already know about Contact Form
7 still works: mail settings, messages, add-ons and shortcodes.

#### See your form while you build it

 * **Live preview of every field**, rendered by Contact Form 7 itself and refreshed
   as you type.
 * **Split, Code or Visual layout**: work side by side with the code, focus on the
   code, or hide it and build only visually.
 * **Click a field to find it in the code**, and place the cursor in the code to
   see which field it belongs to.

#### Build faster, with the mouse, the keyboard or your finger

 * **Drag & drop** fields to reorder your form, on desktop, tablet and phone.
 * **Move, duplicate or delete** any field with one click, and bring it back with**
   Undo**.
 * **Add new fields exactly where you want them**: select a field and the Contact
   Form 7 buttons insert the new one right after it.
 * **Keyboard shortcuts** for power users: arrows to move between fields, Alt + 
   arrows to reorder, Delete and Enter to edit.

#### Edit any field without touching the code

 * **One-click field editor** with a live preview: label, name, required, options
   and choices.
 * **Labels made easy**: type a label and Visual Builder writes the right markup
   for you, the same way Contact Form 7 does.
 * **Built-in validation** of field names, so you avoid broken forms before you 
   save.
 * Prefer code? Edit the source of any block, or the whole form, whenever you want.

#### A better code editor, too

 * **Syntax highlighting** with the code editor built into WordPress.
 * **Color schemes** for the code: Default, Monokai, Blackboard and Cobalt.
 * Your layout and color scheme are **remembered for each user**.

#### Safe for your forms

 * **Your hand-written code is respected**: custom HTML, comments, styles and scripts
   stay exactly as you wrote them. Visual Builder only changes the fields you work
   on.
 * **Every change can be undone**, from the Undo button or with Ctrl+Z in the code
   editor.
 * **Nothing changes on your site** until you click Save, and your forms on the 
   front end are served by Contact Form 7 as always.
 * **No lock-in**: if you ever deactivate Visual Builder, your forms keep working
   exactly the same.

#### Made for everybody

 * **Beginners** create and organize forms without learning the Contact Form 7 syntax.
 * **Designers and agencies** build client forms in minutes and see the result right
   away.
 * **Developers** keep full control of the code, with a faster way to reorder and
   review long forms.

Visual Builder follows the look of the WordPress admin, works with screen readers
and the keyboard, adapts to small screens and comes translated into 12 languages.

## Instalação

You can either install it automatically from the WordPress admin, or do it manually:

#### Using the Plugin Manager

 1. Click Plugins
 2. Click Add New
 3. Search for `Contact Form 7 Visual Builder`
 4. Click Install
 5. Click Install Now
 6. Click Activate Plugin
 7. Edit a contact form: the Visual Form tab shows the builder next to the code editor.

    directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## Perguntas frequentes

### Do I need Contact Form 7?

Yes. Visual Builder is an add-on for Contact Form 7 6.0 or newer. WordPress lists
Contact Form 7 as a required plugin and lets you install it in one click.

### Will my existing forms keep working?

Yes. Visual Builder opens your current forms as they are, and it only changes the
fields you edit. Your forms on the site are still served by Contact Form 7.

### Does it change how my forms look on my site?

No. The look of your forms on the site comes from your theme and Contact Form 7.
The preview in the builder shows the fields with the WordPress admin styles, so 
you can focus on the content and the order.

### Can I still write code?

Of course. The code editor is always one click away, in the Split or Code layout,
and every change you make there shows up in the visual builder.

### Does it work on tablets and phones?

Yes. The builder adapts to small screens and you can drag fields with your finger.

### What happens if I deactivate it?

Your forms keep working exactly the same, because Visual Builder saves them in the
standard Contact Form 7 format.

### Why does a block say “This block has no visible output”?

That block only contains content that visitors do not see, such as hidden fields
or HTML comments.

Thanks for sharing it and doing it for free. Despite from who said it's not working,
it works well. Maybe they're trolls or maybe they need to hire someone to build 
their website.

 [arrubakook](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arrubakook/) 12 janeiro, 2018

This is a great tool, it saves me switching between Sublime and Wordpress when I
want to make small changes to a form. I still build the majority of a form inside
a code editor but this saves a lot of time further down the line! Excellent.

Hey, plugin author, I just want to say do you use your own plugin, just to make 
sure if it works.
