This plugin will allow you to create optgroup's in your select forms. This was created because Formidable does not give the capability to add optgroups, which is just silly.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install from the repository<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin from the Plugin menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Install and activate Formidable Forms if it is not already active<\/li>\n
  4. In your Formidable form, add or edit a Dropdown select box<\/li>\n
  5. To create an optgroup, add a line with the group name wrapped in double asterisks, for example Cars<\/strong>, then list options below it<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. What if I want to use something besides two **'s? If you do, just edit the code to fit your needs. I kept this out of the database for speed, but I can add it in the future if people want it.<\/li>\n
    2. Want to say thanks? donate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
