Happy to help! @nutjob4life what do we use for forms? And where does the data get stored then? Let me know and I’ll take a stab at it!

Hello! Note that on Monday, 12/28/20 12:23 pm I updated the text - to correct some typos and make one small content change. If you haven't been able to work with the text yet, then never mind. If you uploaded a copy of the text before that, then please update.

I made several that don't appear in the text after I pressed enter.
I will work on correcting that as well.

Thank you!

Kris

Hi @tom-raley: there's a form editor on WordPress. Once you log into wp-admin, click "Forms" on the left-side toolbar.

WAIT A MINUTE. Looks like you found it!

Okay, carry on! Ping me on Slack or here if you need help.

[tom-raley]

@nutjob4life Ha, yeah I just started digging around and found it. Thanks though! Looks like it's pretty straightforward to use.

@Lacey-boop I just sent a test form, can you let me know if it hit the nomination@recoverydharma.org email account? If so, the draft of this can be viewed here: https://recoverydharma.org/?page_id=21313&preview=true

If you all think it looks good, we should be good to publish!

[KrisRecoveryDharma]

Looks good!

I am realizing, though that I need to actually reverse the size of the title headers. RDG line the "subheader" size Nomination acceptance form the headers size

Thank you!
