HI Ive used the page protection login tools, but had to use a custom fields, so went through the forum help guides to convert the signup page to form, and made changes. this works great, but now I cant double click the object to change other settings, such as turn on captcha or change the page that it goes so after the form is submitted.
Is there a way to reconvert it back, after making changes?
Many thanks
BTW this tool doesn't seem to work for php >5

If you use 'convert to form' then the signup object will be converted to a standard form with script. You cannot 'reconvert' it back, because the form is now a standard form with individual objects.
To make changes you will have to update the generated HTML block.
Note that this tutorial is mainly for advanced users who want to edit the code manually.
However, you do not need to convert the form to add custom fields. You can also use 'custom profile fields'

No once converted you cannot go back to its original state/look.

what i mean is that on my hosting package it lets me choose which php version is installed. If i choose upto 5.6 it works, 7 and upwards it doesn't.
on another website i did a few months back, i found i couldn't use a sql database with the form wizard, this is probably the reason why (as it defualts to v 8 on the hosting site), Im using wb16, if that makes any difference.
of course it could be something on the hosting site!

All built-in scripts in WWB18 are compatible with PHP 5.6 and newer ( including PHP 8 ).
Make sure you select PHP5 - PHP8 in the page properties.
Note that version 16 is no longer supported.
