More Information

The wpforms_field_properties filter is applied to an array for specific form field properties. Using this filter will change every form field.

Each form field will have its own unique filter name, see the section below for a complete list of documented examples. For example, if you only wanted to change the Email form field, you would use wpforms_field_properties_email.

Examples

In this example shown below, the function will have the field Description displayed above the field itself but only for the form ID 225.

/**
 * Move the field description above the form field.
 *
 * @link   https://wpforms.com/developers/wpforms_field_properties/
 * 
 * @param  array $properties Field properties.
 * @param  array $field      Field settings. 
 * @param  array $form_data  Form data and settings.
 *
 * @return array
 */
 
function wpf_dev_field_properties( $properties, $field, $form_data ) {

    // Only process this snippet on the form ID 225
    if ( absint( $form_data[ 'id' ] ) !== 225 ) {

        return $properties;
    } 
 
    // move the field description from under the form field to above the form field
    $properties[ 'description' ][ 'position' ] = 'before';

    return $properties;

}
add_filter( 'wpforms_field_properties', 'wpf_dev_field_properties', 10, 3 );
