Related Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a WordPress form GDPR compliant?

The key piece is the Agree to Terms field in the Nexter Blocks Form block. That field adds an acceptance checkbox, and the form only becomes compliant in practice when users must check it before submitting. The page also says you can edit the label text and add a link to your terms and conditions or privacy policy, which is the part most people need for a real consent flow.

What do I need before adding a GDPR checkbox to my form?

Nexter Blocks has to be installed and activated first, because the Form block is part of Nexter Blocks. Once that is in place, you add the Form block to the page and choose the form type you want. That matters because the GDPR checkbox is not a separate widget here, it is added inside the form through the Agree to Terms field.

Why isn't the GDPR acceptance checkbox showing in my WordPress form?

The usual blocker is that Nexter Blocks is not installed or activated, since the Form block depends on it. Another common miss is skipping the Agree to Terms field, which is what adds the acceptance checkbox. If you want users to actually be forced to accept it, also enable the Required toggle so it cannot be ignored before submission.

Can I link my privacy policy or terms and conditions from the checkbox text?

The Form block supports that directly through the Enable Link toggle, or by selecting text in the editor and adding a link there. That makes it easy to point users to a privacy policy or terms and conditions page without changing the rest of the form. The page also notes you can edit the text itself from the editor or from the Label field under the Content tab.

What happens if I mark the GDPR checkbox as required?

The checkbox becomes mandatory before submission, which is the important part for consent-based forms. Without that Required toggle enabled, users could submit without checking it, which defeats the point of adding an acceptance field at all. In this setup, Nexter Blocks turns a normal form into one that forces an explicit user action before sending.

What is the best way to style a GDPR consent checkbox in WordPress?

Use the Style tab for visual changes and keep consent text easy to read. The page says you can customize the style of the text there, while still editing wording in either the editor or Label field under Content. That split matters because consent copy and styling are different jobs: one affects compliance wording, the other affects how clearly users see it.
