I can’t even tell you how helpful this was. Bricksforge is such an amazing plugin but the lack of good educational content makes it extremely difficult to use
Yes, I totally agree. We need more Bricksforge educators
This is surface level knowledge, all Paul did was to read the documentation and made a video about it.
Hi, I have the BF plugin, but honestly because of not good tutorials, I don't know how to use it properly in different aspects. I appreciate it if you go through different aspects of this fantastic plugin and make more useful tutorials 🎉
More tutorials will be coming for sure. :)
Before watching this video I wouldn't have had a clue how to use bricksforge to build a form. Excellent video.
Fantastic, I have Bricks Forge but I don't have enough time to test it, there is a huge lack of tutorials and content on Bricks Forge
I'm hearing that more and more since releasing this video - there will definitely be more from me in 2024. :)
OMG! I didn't know Bricks Forge had such features. Thanks a lot for showing them! Could you please do more tutorials on building an interface for the user where he can edit ACF fields as well. I remember you did one for Elementor once. I would be very grateful if you could do a full series of building the backend so that the client doesn't have to use the native Wordpress backend, which as you know is hideous - for today's times :)
I'll definitely be expanding this basics tutorial to encompass more features, including ACF.
@@WPTuts Thank you very much. I watch all your videos. I look forward to watching this one as well.
Thanks to this tutorial I was able to do more research based of this video and I most say it really easy to update acf fields too even though it took me some time to figure it out but yea am pretty happy
Another fantastic tutorial! And right as I'm getting ready to start my first B/BF build. Thank you!
Literally been trying to get a video that will point me to this option not up to 5 hrs ago thanks man
It's all about the timing. ;)
@@WPTuts your are really an inspiration through my journey in web development starting from elementor and I figure out how to update ACF fields too. Now that what I call good teaching
Paul, could you make a video on using Bricksforge Backend Designer? It is definitely necessary to create a dashboard for users, is it possible with that option?
I'll certainly be looking into it in the new year.
Paul! Thanks for your tutorial and insight how to get things going. It's really helpful.
Have you learned all the procedure just by reading the docs or you have been helped by the plugin dev? If you did everything by yourself it would mean that your skills are way above avarage.
For common and intermediate users is very hard to use this plugin with almost zero tutorial and dev support.
I have noticed people asking for more tutorial in facebook, but the dev replied he is not goog making videos, so no tuorial.
People paid a decent amount of money for a nice plugin, but are able to use a little part of the features cause there are no tutorial, unfair.
However, nice video, thanks
A combination of trial and error and conversations with Daniele, the dev.
That's great tutorial please make more tutorial, we don't know how to use bricksforge features 😅
super cool !
Thanks a thousand Paul, I own BF but due to limited documentation I can't use it to its full potential. Please (not only me) for more videos with this great plugin (animations, forms,....) Thanks
Don't worry, I'll be adding a lot more Bricks based tutorials including Bricksforge and Advanced Themer. :)
@@WPTutsthat’s music in my ears 😂
Cool, you are one of the best tutorial creators and I have learned a lot from you, thanks@@WPTuts
Dear Sir,
Please make more videos on Bricksforge..
There are not much detailed videos on Bricksforge.
Your videos is easy to understand...
Hope you will look into more features of Bricksforge.
Warm regards,

Love Bricks and Bricks Forge! Looking back I wish I would've built my last three sites with these two tools. Thank you for the great video, please keep them coming. Have you thought about doing anything with WS Forms? WS Forms integrates amazingly well with Bricks and Bricks plugins.
To be honest, I don't use WS Forms, so I haven't had the opportunity to test them out together.
I had error with my pro form and wasn't sure why but after seeing why field id can't have space, it works now.
More BF tutorials please 🎉
Dear Sir, this video on Bricksforge Pro Forms is very helpful..
However i do request you to create a detailed video on Bricksforge covering all aspects of this awesome tool.
Bricksforge contains so much like creating frontend dashboard, custom roles dashboards etc..
Sir, it will be of great help if you create a detailed video on Bricksforge all aspects and functions, extensions..
With love and care,
Vivek Kumar
There will certainly be more videos on BricksForge. I’m not sure I’ll be able to cover all aspects of it though.
@@WPTuts I will be waiting for your videos sir...
Awesome video Paul
Nice video Paul! I've been waiting for a demo on the Pro Forms feature.
I can see Bricksforge is pretty powerful, although, probably better suited to users with some WordPress DEV experience. As many have already mentioned, more tutorials of use cases will close that gap.
I'll grab the Bricks lifetime deal before they change the price but will continue to build websites with Div + Divi Engine for the time being. With the launch of Divi 5 next year, we should see some vast improvements. Bricks is definitely not off the cards though, keep the great tutorials coming!
I'm definitely interested to see what happens with Divi 5 when it's launched.
Awesome tutorial, Paul! Thanks a lot fir this great content. ♥
Hey Paul,Thanks for this awesome WPTuts video, more tutorials with use cases just like this one would be great.
Keep an eye open for more content on this and Advacned Themer along with other Bricks based tools coming throughout 2024. :)
Hi Paul, thanks for this great tutorial! One important question: how can user DELETE a post?
This is gold
Hey Paul! You think Bricksforge can be used to create a front end event planner?
More detail on what I’m thinking.
Let’s say you have a bunch of activities that can be booked. You have these CPT organized by custom taxonomies.
The visitor can select from a front end form the various taxonomies that contain activities / events and build a planner of sorts. And a page is built with a loop for each category taxonomy.
Eg:
Visitor selects Beer Drinking, Pizza Eating and Spaghetti Flinging. A page is created sowing a section of each category with a loop for each showing the most popular activity(ies).
Essentially an auto suggest event builder.
How would one go about doing that?
Hello is there any option to update ACF? and not only post title feature image etc..?
Please please can you make a video of creating a new post for a custom post type on a front end form using repeater fields from ACF. Bricksforge pro forms has a repeater field you can connect to ACF but the process seems a bit complicated and would be awesome to have one of your tuts
Fantastic Tutorial. Please make more. Or make a premium course, I would gladly pay for like this.
One note:
I think due to an update
Naming IDs post_title, post_content, no longer works. Adding the double brackets {{post_title}} still doesn't work for me.
I renamed the fields {{my_post_title}} and now works perfectly.
Paul, thanks so much for this. This is really helpful! I'm starting to realise that with Bricks & Bricksforge alone, I'll be able to ditch another 10 plugins, that's awesome. I've got one question: I know that I can submit a Woocommerce product with this, but is there any way I could submit a 'Variable' Woo product?
So let's say I wanted to create a 'Food Heaven' website. I would create 'Pasta' as the main product, but then I would submit different variations, for example 'Spaghetti', 'Linguine', Gnocchi' etc., you get the idea. Is that possible with the Pro Forms?
Hey Paul. I wonder if you can help me out with something? I'm trying to style a form to make it a dark colour with white text. Any ideas please. I tried various ways, including typography, but none of it did it. Love your stuff. Glad you do the bricks stuff now. in fact you partly convinced me to make the move. And I'm glad I did.
use automaticcss (.form--dark)
Thanks! Super useful. How would you approach a front-end form to create a new post for a custom post type where you need to choose a category for the post? I understand the part with form fields. I use the Select field and query loop to pull in my categories. But what is the correct setup for the "Create new post" part in Bricksforge?
Could you do a video on the email designer and specifically the wp mails sent to new users etc as that seems not to work properly and maybe how to create custom woo email templates without using wc_table ... no viable docs and no support from BF on those subjects
Really nice video! I guess you could use the same to create filters for your posts page? Filtering by setting url when using the filter.
As of today when I write these lines, there is no way to update ACF gallery or pods images with this tool and this is the most important point that everyone is looking for or waiting for
Take a look at WS Forms with it's Post Management add-on, Paul. Would've made this a very, very short tutorial :)
I don't doubt it - this was more of an introduction to Pro Foems in Bricksforge with a relatable example. ;)
@wptuts it breaks my conditions from the header... did anyone noticed this? I use two different header.. homepage and subpages. maybe I need to do if differently ...any hints?
Can you make a video about pagination or post splitting? Please
Hey, I am new to word press and bricks builder, I have built a few sites with bricks already. Can anyone explain what plug in bricks forge would replace, I know the GSAP animator is good and can replace motion.page. Also would pro forms be able to replace something like WPForms or Fluent forms?
Thankyou! More from Bricksforge please! it's an awesome tool
Awesome tutorial! However, I'm encountering an issue. After following the steps, the featured image updates correctly, but the title and content change to "{edit post}" and "{}".
Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
I have exactly same issue here... 🙄
I just found the solution... the problem is it seems you need to change your ID {{post_id}} seems to be reserved... I just changed to {{the_post_id}} and it works...
I found a solution for this... You'll need to change {{post_title}} and {{post_content}} with something else... probably they are reserved variables... I have changed mine to: {{the_post_title}} and {{the_prod_content}} and it works fine I can edit the content!
@@barlethamzai That worked for me as well, thanks for sharing!
how to this use in acf field custom frontend form, relationship post and repeaters field. how to make form for frontend pls help me for my website, pls make video
Is this faster than Elementor + JetEngine?
I haven't speed tested it to be honest. In general, Bricks is pretty lightweight and I didn't notice any discernable lag when building or testing the results.
@@WPTuts thanks, Paul!
It’s like the Bricksforge guy thought to himself, how can I make Bricksforge as complicated as possible!
It’s the worst in the Bricks ecosystem.
as heavy as the Elementor!
Not in my experience, no.
@@WPTuts $$ 😁😁
You didn’t illustrate the use case for using Pro forms. I didn’t get why one would need to use them.
I watched a couple of videos on the Bricksforge TH-cam channel. It’s atrocious, just music and videos, no explanations.
Bricksforge is so complicated that it almost feels like a bad idea - Simplify it or Just take it behind the barn and shoot it.
Sounds like a skill issue to me. If you're using Bricks or Bricksforge chances are you wanted to be pro or at least more than average, if so then the Documentation page alone will help you a ton, otherwise stay in Elementor point and click like how easy it is for a 13 y/o to pick up
@@sevenelven Mr. Smarty Pants, if you are so skilful , why use a pagebuilder at all, either Elementor or Bricks!
Why don’t you hard code your websites!
Right, because a pagebuilder makes life easier and workflow faster.
Workflow in Bricks is faster than in Elementor.
Bricksforge fails that basic test, of making life easier and workflow faster, and is rather complicated to use, and there is a very steep learning curve.
Bricksforge is not intuitive, and unnecessarily complicated, and even Paul acknowledged it in his videos.
@@John.Rearden then don't freaking use it? 🤣 Bricksforge has A LOT to offer othen than pro forms, don't like it don't use it. Or idk wait for someone to make a video tutorial to hold your hands because apparently documentation is useless.
Definitely a skill issue. It is more complicated than most plugins that are for amateurs yes, but it's very useful and ofc. improves the workflow.
Why use a pagebuilder at all? Because it's faster. If the html is clean and the workflow feels good it's dumb not to use one. But you should definitely be able to handcode a site otherwise your not a developer but just a hobbyist.
Oh just in case you actually want some use cases:
- you can do a lot with conditions and set the form up as a configurator, for example like on the tesla site
- you can do math functions for all forms that relate to numbers / prices etc.
- you can make a calender
@@sevenelven By your logic, someone at Bricksforge is mute, and cannot speak, and which is why their TH-cam videos don’t have explanations.
There are countless bricks add-ons, and I don’t use all of them.
I watched a video from Paul and left my feedback, why are you so butt hurt about it!
Hey, I've noticed some issues with Bricks. It seems like you focus a lot on the positives, but you've criticized Elementor before. It would be more genuine if you shared both positive and negative aspects of Bricks in your videos.
I’ve been using bricks quite extensively and haven’t encountered any issues. What issues did you notice?
I honestly don't think I've ever seen you write a positive comment on one of my videos!
As this isn't even a Bricks tutorial, it's on Bricksforge, I don't see what relevance criticising Bricks would have here.
Also, maybe you should take a look at some of the live streams I've done talking about Bricks and the areas that need improving.
Regardless of all of that, I make no money from Bricks, so I have no skin in the game to be positive about it if there are glaring issues - which, in my experience, there are not. Perfect - no. As flawed as Elementor has been in the past - no.
@@WPTuts I was trying out Bricks on their playground, and there was no way to upload SVG files because it was disabled, and there were no widgets to insert actual HTML, CSS, or JS code into the page. In a few minutes I had these issues, so it feel odd to hear all positive news.
@@babakfp probably because you’re using the playground and those could easily be used to inject malicious code.
There are no such restrictions in the full version of Bricks.
@@WPTuts Another issue, I built some stuff, then removed them and built other stuff, and suddenly the new content got replaced with the previous content in the history! And there is no way to get it back. Another issue is when changing the border-radius, if you link them, so when you edit one, the other one changes, and then you close the popup and reopen it, they are not linked anymore.
