From your form editor page, you can navigate to the settings and find the display settings tab. From there you can select the form style you want and also change the label position.
After setting up your form theme, the form looks like this on the frontend.
User Admin Approval
As a website admin, sometimes it becomes difficult to protect the site from spam registration. However, if you can approve or deny user registrations, it is possible to effectively prevent spammers. Keeping that in mind, WPUF now has an Admin Registration Approval System that allows you to easily allow or deny when a user registers on your site. From the user listing page, you will also find a new column showing the user status as either pending, approved or denied.
