December 28, 2014 0 Comments
NinjaForms is, without a doubt, one of the most popular plugins for creating different forms in your WordPress website.
The basic NinjaForms plugin can be downloaded for free from the WordPress repository or from NinjaForms.com website directly, plus, you can purchase a license for each of the plugin’s extensions separately.
One very useful extension is “Conditional Logic” that allows you to create “smart” forms that will display or hide certain form fields according to conditions you add to specific fields.
You can basically create interactive forms that “react” to the user and change the options according to the fields a user chooses.
This plugin is very useful and effective, and it is also very easy to configure.

Conditional Login Extension Usages:
There are really unlimited purposes for this extension, here are some of them we are using for our own websites:
- Creating registration forms for special events that occur in different places and dates. When a user chooses a city, a drop-down list with the relevant dates in that specific city is displayed that the user can choose from.
- Creating different wizards with questions and answers that are displayed according to the options users choose. The sky is really the limit regarding the types of wizards you can create and can change according to your niche.
- Creating surveys in different topics in order to improve our clients’ experience and our overall service.
