# How to Show the Form Submission Entries in an Elementor Table?

## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor Table widget lists Form widget submissions when the form saves entries with Database Entry and has a Form ID such as event_signup.
- The Table widget shows Plus Form entries in submission order, oldest first, and a new submission appears at the end the next time the page loads.
- The Plus Form source requires The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, while the Table widget itself is free; without a form it shows “Please Select Form,” and without entries it shows “No Data Found.”

Event sign-ups, volunteer lists or survey answers often need to be shown on a page as well as stored.

When the Form widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor saves its submissions, the **Plus Form** source of the **Table** widget lists them in a table.

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — Showing form entries (the Plus Form source, and the Form widget's Database Entry action) needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The Table widget itself is free.- **Widget to enable:** Table, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.- A Form widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor that saves submissions with **Database Entry** (see [Save form submissions in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/save-form-submissions-in-elementor/)).- At least one submission, so the form appears in the table's list.

## Step 1: Save the Form Submissions

- Edit the page with your Form widget. In **Submit Actions**, add **Database Entry** to **Add Action**.- In **Extra Options**, give the form a **Form ID**, for example `event_signup`. The table finds the form by this ID.- Publish the page and send a test submission.

## Step 2: Show the Entries in a Table

- Add the **Table** widget to the page where the list should appear.- In **Content > Table**, set **Content Table** to **Plus Form**.- Open **Form Settings** and choose your form in **Select Form**. Forms are listed by their Form Name with the Form ID in brackets.

- Leave **Show Columns** on **All Columns**, or choose **Selected Columns** and pick the fields in **Select Columns**. Pick **Index** to add a numbered column.- Publish the page.

This is how the submissions look on the page with all columns:

## How It Behaves

- The column headers are the fields' **Unique IDs** from the Form widget (for example `first_name`), not their labels. Choose readable IDs when you build the form.- Rows are listed in the order the submissions arrived, oldest first. **Index** numbers them from 1 in a **No.** column.- A new submission appears at the end of the table the next time the page is loaded; no cache or refresh setting is involved.- **Entry Filter Dropdown** and **Table Sortable** work with this source.- With **Table Sortable** on, the rows are sorted A to Z by the first column when the page loads.- With no form chosen the widget shows “Please Select Form”; a form without entries shows “No Data Found”.

## Limitations

- **Submissions are public on this page.** Everyone who can open the page sees every entry, including email addresses. Use Selected Columns to leave out personal data, and mention it in your privacy policy.- **Table Searchable** is not available for the Plus Form source.- Header texts cannot be renamed from the Table widget; they come from the field IDs.- With **One by One Responsive**, the stacked rows on phones do not show the column names.

## Troubleshooting

### My form is not in Select Form

Check that the form uses Database Entry and has received at least one submission, then reload the editor.

### Plus Form is missing from Content Table

It needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, and the Form Compatibility option of the Table widget must be on in **The Plus Addons > Widgets**. It is on unless someone turned it off.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need before showing form submissions in an Elementor table?**
A: The setup depends on three things: The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, the Table widget being switched on under The Plus Addons > Widgets, and a Form widget that saves submissions with Database Entry. You also need at least one submission, or the form will not appear in the table list. That last part matters because the table source is built from saved entries, not just the form itself.

**Q: Why is my form not showing in Select Form?**
A: The usual cause is that the form has not saved any entries yet or it is missing Database Entry in Submit Actions. The editor also needs a reload after the form has received a submission. In this setup, the table lists forms by Form Name with the Form ID in brackets, so the ID you set in Extra Options is what helps the widget find the right form.

**Q: How do I show only some form fields in the table?**
A: Use Selected Columns instead of All Columns when you want to hide personal data or keep the table cleaner. That matters because submissions are public on the page, including email addresses if you leave every field visible. The page also notes that header text comes from field Unique IDs, so readable IDs are worth planning early if you want column names that make sense to visitors.

**Q: Can I sort or filter form submission entries in the table?**
A: The Plus Form source supports Entry Filter Dropdown and Table Sortable. With Table Sortable turned on, rows load A to Z by the first column. That is useful when your first column is something like a name or label, but it can be confusing if your first column is not meant to define order. New submissions still appear at the end of the table when the page loads again.

**Q: Why does Plus Form show 'Please Select Form' or 'No Data Found'?**
A: Those messages point to two different states. 'Please Select Form' appears when no form has been chosen in Table settings, while 'No Data Found' appears when a selected form has no entries yet. That distinction helps when debugging because one problem is configuration and the other is data. In practice, it means you should confirm both the selected form and that at least one submission exists.

**Q: What are the main limits of showing form entries this way?**
A: The biggest limit is privacy: every entry shown on that page is public to anyone who can open it. The page also says Table Searchable is not available for the Plus Form source, header texts cannot be renamed from the Table widget, and One by One Responsive hides column names on phones when rows stack. For sensitive forms, Selected Columns and a privacy policy note are important.
