Now click on edit with Elementor to open the Elementor Editor.

You can now see the FES Builder 40+ widgets on this window that can help you create exclusive FES forms for your website.

Creating FES forms
If you have used FES forms in MEC before, you definitely know that there are multiple fields to add to the FES forms and to have your users fill in the forms. We have assigned a separate widget in the FES builder for these fields to give you the option of adding them to your form. Obviously, if you don’t add a field’s widget to the form that field won’t be displayed in the FES form and users won’t be able to type in any data in those fields, so please consider all of your requirements carefully in terms of FES forms before creating them.
Note: It’s clear that you need the submit button widget to have the option of submitting the forms to your users.
How to force your users to fill in a specific field
It is obligatory to fill in certain fields to submit the necessary event data in MEC and if you don’t have enough data for them the event won’t run properly whereas many other fields can be left empty that you might need their data. You can force your users to fill in those fields which is not a new feature and we have had it in MEC before, but now the FES Builder offers this feature in the widgets and the content tab.

The widgets’ styling options
There are multiple designated styling options for every widget in a way that there are no elements in the widgets that don’t have customization options, so you are free to design any widget you like.

Assigning the created templates to load instead of the default MEC FES form
After designing FES forms it is time to use the forms. In order to do that you need to head over to WordPress Dashboard > MEC > Setting > Frontend Event Submission and choose the template made by Elementor and save the settings.
