What is Conditional Fields?
Conditional Fields refers to a feature that allows you to show or hide form fields based on conditions you specify. It is useful for creating dynamic display and interactive forms that adapt to user inputs and specific scenarios.
For example you might have a form where users can select their preferred services, such as app development or digital marketing, so depending on the users choice you might want to display different field for each option. By using conditional fields you can make sure that only relevant fields are displayed on the users selection.
Contact Form 7 allows you to do this with a simple plugin.
