WPForms Review: The Best Form Builder? (My Honest Opinion)

After working with WordPress and helping users build websites for a few years, one thing became clear – we all needed a better contact form plugin. 

Not only did I want to create something that would meet my own needs, but I also saw an opportunity to address the frustrations of many others who were struggling to find a reliable and user-friendly contact form plugin.

After speaking to countless users and readers, I set out to create WPForms –  a contact form plugin that would address the needs of both myself and others like me. I wanted to build a plugin that was easy to use, powerful, and could handle everything from simple contact forms to complex surveys.  

In this post, I’ll walk you through all the WPForms features, how we use them at WPBeginner, and why I decided to add them to WPForms in the first place.

Here’s my complete WPForms review.

WPForms

WPForms Review: Why I Chose It (& What You Need To Know)

When I launched WPBeginner, I knew I needed a form builder plugin. After all, when was the last time you visited a website that DIDN’T have a contact form? 

So, I started trying different contact form plugins – but honestly, most of them just didn’t cut it for me. Too complicated, not enough options, or just plain buggy. That’s why I said, ‘Enough!’ and built WPForms.

And I still use it on WPBeginner to this day.

The WPBeginner contact form

Let’s take a step back and look at what this plugin actually does. WPForms is a popular WordPress contact form plugin and builder that lets you create all kinds of forms using a drag-and-drop editor.

If you’re working with a strict budget or you’re just getting started, then you can download WPForms Lite for free from the official WordPress repository.

Although we use the premium WPForms plugin on WPBeginner, I designed the free version so it has all the essential features. You can use this plugin to create professional-looking contact forms, feedback forms, subscription forms, and more.

WPForms Lite also comes with ready-made templates that you can use as a staring point for all kinds of forms. Simply select your template, make any changes in the drag and drop editor, and then add the finished form to your site using the WPForms block. It’s as easy as that!

The WPForms form block

WPForms Lite can also accept payments through Stripe, so you can create all kinds of websites without spending a dime. This was a deliberate decision on my part: many form builders make payments a premium feature, and I wanted WPForms to be diffeernt.

Of course, if you need more advanced features, then you can upgrade to WPForms Pro. This plugin lets you create additional types of forms, including multi-page forms, conversational forms, surveys and polls, and much more.

WPForms also supports conditional logic, user-submitted content, and digital signatures.

Just like WPForms Lite, the premium plugin can accept payments using Stripe. However, it also integrates with additional popular payment platforms including PayPal and Square, so you have more options. You can also offer your users a choice of payment methods.

How to create a payment form in WordPress

Now you have a general idea of the plugin and what it has to offer, I’m going to dive into the finer details of this WPForms review.

WPForms Review: Is It the Right Form Builder for You? (My Honest Experience)

After years of using and testing various contact form plugins, I was disappointed with what I found: most were either too complicated to use, didn’t offer enough customization options, or simply didn’t work as promised. That’s why I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a plugin that would meet my own needs and expectations.

Of course, this doesn’t automatically mean WPForms is the right contact form plugin for you, so in this WPForms review I’ll deep dive into the different features, support options, and pricing plans.

Then, you can make up your own mind. So, is WPForms the right choice for your WordPress website or blog? Let’s find out, in this detailed WPForms review!

1. Beginner-Friendly and Easy to Use

I’ve tried lots of different form builder plugins and many of them have very advanced features and powerful settings. That’s fine, but if a plugin isn’t user-friendly then you’ll struggle to create even a basic form! What’s the point of a powerful form builder, if it’s difficult to use?

Thankfully, WPForms makes it easy to create beautiful contact forms. This is largely due to the fact that it comes with over 2,000 form templates.

These include common templates such as contact forms and user registration forms. WPForms also has niche templates that are designed for specific use cases such as a dental medical release template, golf tournament entry form, and a DJ song request template.

No matter what kind of form you want to create, chances are that WPForms has a ready-made template that you can use. This has saved me a TON of time over the years.

WPForms' form template library

As I already mentioned in this WPForms review, after choosing a template you can customize it using the drag and drop editor.

In the left-hand menu, you’ll see all the fields you can add to the form. Simply find the field you want to use, and drag it onto the template.

Customizing WordPress forms without writing code

To customize a field, just click to select it in the form preview.

You’ll then see all the settings you can use to customize that particular field. Since WPForms only shows the options you can actually use, there’s no confusion. I’m never unsure how to edit a particular form field.

WPForms' drag and drop form builder

When you’re happy with how the form is set up, click on the ‘Settings’ tab to see some of WPForms’ more advanced settings.

Here, you can create notifications that WPForms will send automatically whenever someone completes and submits the form. This is one of my favorite features, as it lets me respond to new leads and questions straight away.

How to setup form notifications in WordPress

You can also send a confirmation email after form submission, or show the visitor a custom thank you page with suggestions on the next steps they should take.

Sometimes, visitors may expect a personal reply, such as a quote or callback. In this case, you can add a timescale to your confirmation message, such as ‘We aim to respond within 24 hours’ or similar.

Creating custom form confirmations in WordPress

When you’re happy with the form, you can add it to any page, post, or widget-ready area across your online store or website.

Simply click the ‘Embed’ button inside the WPForms editor, and you’ll be able to create a new page or add the form to any existing page. I really appreciate this feature, as it allows me to create important pages such as a dedicated Contact Us page or Request a Quote page, with just a few clicks.

Embedding a form on a WordPress website

You can also place the form on your site using the WPForms block.

After placing the block on your site, simply open its dropdown menu and choose any form you’ve created from the list.

Adding a form to a page, post, or widget-ready area

WPForms will then fetch that form and show it to your visitors, without you having to write a single line of code. I particularly like how this feature lets me control exactly where the form appears on the page. You can even add extra blocks around the form, such as some introduction text or a nice banner.

My Honest Review: I designed WPForms with ease of use in mind. Just install the plugin, select a template, make a few quick changes in the WPForms editor and that’s it! Your form is live and ready to go. It’s so much easier compared to the other page builder plugins I’ve tried.

2. Over 2,000 Professionally-Designed Form Templates

Everyone loves a ready-made template. They save you time, and ensure your form has a nice layout right from the start.

In my experience, templates are a pretty common feature so with WPForms I really wanted to take things further – and today we offer over 2,000 form templates! Whether you’re creating a simple contact form, a client feedback form, a request a quote form, a PayPal payment form, or a registration form, WPForms has a template that you can use as a starting point.

To help you find the right template fast, WPForms organizes its templates into different categories. For example, you’ll find categories such as health and fitness, event planning, nonprofits, registration, and more.

The WPForms template library

Even the free version of WPForms has a generous number of templates that you can use as a starting point.

All these templates are fully customizable, so you can add and remove fields, change the labeling on specific fields, and much more using the WPForms editor.

My Honest Review: When I launched WPForms it already had a bunch of templates. But honestly? They’ve just kept getting better, thanks to our WPForms team!

While writing this review, I even tried to stump them. I was throwing out weird, super-specific form ideas. And guess what? WPForms had a template for every single one. Seriously impressive!

3. Advanced Customization Options

After choosing a template, your next task is editing that template.

I’m happy to report that WPForms’ editor is intuitive and very easy to use. Simply select the field you want to customize, and WPForms will display all the different settings you can use.

How to customize form fields in WordPress

These options vary depending on the field, but they typically let you change the field label, add a description, and make the field mandatory so visitors have to complete that field before submitting the form.

This ‘mandatory’ setting is perfect if you’re collecting essential information from visitors, such as their name and business email address.

Some of the fields have multiple options, such as several different payment methods in an order form. In that case, you can easily rearrange these options using drag and drop. This is perfect for making sure the most important or popular option always appears first.

Rearranging form fields in WordPress

While writing this WPForms review, I experimented with adding images and icons to the different options, showing the prices next to each item, changing the date and time format, adding smart conditional logic, and more.

When I was happy with how the form looked, there were a few more settings I needed to configure. To start, WPForms can send custom email notifications to your site’s admin or the person who submitted the form. This automated workflow keeps everyone in the loop, which improves the visitor experience.

Email notifications are also pretty much a best practice at this point.

After all, imagine if you submitted a form and didn’t get a confirmation. What would your reaction be? Chances are, you’d wonder if your submission had gone through correctly. You don’t want your users to experience this, so I made sure that WPForms offers this feature.

Creating custom notifications in WordPress

You can also specify what happens when the visitor submits a form.

For example, if you’re running an online marketplace then you might create a custom WooCommerce thank you page, or a user registration page where the customer can create an account and track their order.

Both of these are good alternatives to automated email notifications.

Creating a custom form confirmation page for an online store or website

Another option is creating a custom form landing page similar to Google Forms. In my experience, placing your form on a distraction-free landing page can sometimes get you more submissions. It’s also easy to share these forms on social media or add them to your email newsletter.

While you could use a landing page builder (my favorite is SeedProd), you can actually create these pages directly in WPForms.

Simply open the ‘Form Pages’ settings and you can create a landing page with a custom title, description, header logo, and footer text. You can also change the background color, choose between different page designs, and hide the WPForms branding.

Creating a form landing page using WPForms

Lengthy forms can be daunting and may increase form abandonment rates. With that being said, you may want to split your forms across multiple pages using WPForms.

You can even make the multi-page form interactive by adding icon choices and conversational elements. This is great for improving form conversion rates, especially if you’re creating request-a-quote lead forms.

An example of a WordPress multi-page form

For step-by-step instructions, see our guide on how to create a multi-page form.

How I Use It (& My Honest Review): As the creator of WPForms, I’ve had the opportunity to put our plugin through its paces on WPBeginner. I’m pleased to say that I’ve been consistently impressed by how seamlessly WPForms integrates with my site’s design.

From building contact forms to creating more complex surveys and lead generation forms, I’ve found WPForms to be incredibly flexible and customizable. With a wide range of field types, including mandatory fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, and more, I’m able to collect exactly the information I need from my visitors. 

While it’s true that some advanced settings may require a bit of digging, in my opinion it’s well worth the effort. The customization options available in WPForms allow me to create forms that perfectly align with my brand identity, giving my site a professional and polished look.

4. Powerful Conditional Logic

Want to get as many conversions as possible? Of course you do! One thing that’s always worked really well for me, is keeping my forms short and only asking relevant questions. That said, this WPForms review won’t be complete without mentioning its smart conditional logic.

This feature shows the visitor different options based on the information they’ve already entered. For example, if you’re creating a form with a payment option, then WPForms can hide the credit card fields if the visitor chooses not to send you a payment.

You can easily hide or show different form fields, display payment options, dropdown menus, and more based on the user’s responses.

In my opinion, conditional logic is a must-have feature for any form builder, and WPForms doesn’t just deliver this advanced feature: it makes it easy to use, too.

In the WPForms editor, simply select the field where you want to use smart conditional logic, and then enable the conditional slider.

Enabling smart conditional logic

With that done, you’re ready to set up conditional rules.

For example, in the following image, I’m asking the customer if they have any allergies. If they select ‘Yes,’ then I’m going to ask for more information about their allergies.

Creating a form with conditional logic

If they select ‘No,’ then WPForms will hide this field, since it’s not relevant to the customer. This lets them complete the form more quickly and avoid answering unnecessary questions, which is going to have an impact on your form completion rates.

Now, you can see why this is one of my favorite WPForms features!

My Honest Review: Form abandonment rates are a big problem for all websites (and let’s be honest, WPBeginner is no exception). That’s why conditional logic is one of my favorite WPForms features!

Want to collect as many leads, or as much information as possible? Then you need to check out this must-have WPForms feature.

5. Conversational Forms

When visitors are engaged with your forms, they’re more likely to enter accurate, helpful information. That’s where WPForms’ Conversational Forms Addon comes in.

Rather than showing visitors a static form, this addon asks them one question at a time.

An example of a conversational form, created using WPForms

This is similar to a face-to-face conversation, and is much more engaging and interactive compared to traditional forms.

I’d recommend using a conversational approach for long forms where you can’t easily use smart conditional logic. For example, you might want to collect detailed feedback from the customer. In that case, you want clients to answer every single question in the form, so you can’t use conditional logic to make the form less daunting.

Still, showing them a very long form with lots of questions isn’t ideal. Think about it: if you saw a form like that, would you be happy to get stuck in? I know I wouldn’t! That’s why I keep my forms short and to-the-point on WPBeginner.

A conversational form can get you the answers you need, without overwhelming the customer. It’s another must-have feature that’s actually very easy to use. To turn a static form into an engaging, conversational form, you simply need to enable a slider.

Enabling the conversational forms feature in WordPress

With that done, type in a title and an optional message that visitors will see when they arrive at your form.

I also added options to hide the WPForms branding, change the form colors, and make other changes so you can design a form that perfectly matches your WordPress theme and company branding.

Designing a conversational form in WordPress

Like the sound of conversational forms? Then I’d recommend diving into our guide on how to create conversational forms, which covers this topic in much more detail.

My Honest Review: Put simply – in my opinion this is another must have feature.

6. Populate Dropdowns, Checkboxes, and Lists Automatically

When you need to create a form quickly, populating dropdown options, checkboxes, and long multiple choice lists can really slow you down. This is particularly true if you need to research the possible options, or type in lots of information. I’ve faced this exact problem myself, more times than I’d care to count!

That’s why I added an artificial intelligence assistant, so WPForms can create this content for you. 

How to create forms using powerful artificial intelligence

It sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, simply type in what you want – “A list of all the countries in the world, arranged in alphabetical order.” WPForms will then create a list of options, based on that prompt.

WPForms' built-in artificial intelligence tool

If you don’t like the results, then you can experiment with different prompts until you’re happy with the generated text.

When you’re ready, just click a button and WPForms will convert all this information into form fields instantly. You don’t even need to spend time copying and pasting this information into your form manually! This feature is a game-changer, and I can see it saving users a ton of time.

How to populate your forms using AI

My Honest Review: As the creator of WPForms, I’ve had the opportunity to shape the plugin’s features and functionality from the ground up. And I have to say, this is one feature I’m SERIOUSLY excited about.

If you regularly create forms with multiple options, configurations, and conditional logic, you know how time-consuming it can be to set everything up manually. But with WPForms, you can unlock the power of AI-driven form building. Honestly, I think this has the potential to revolutionize the way we build forms.

7. Generate Forms Instantly with AI

Let’s continue with the theme! Besides AI form choices, WPForms offers an AI-Powered Form Builder that can automatically create entire forms in an instant.

Generate form with AI

Simply type in a description of the form you want to create – which could be anything from a simple contact form to an advanced survey, and then hit enter.

In seconds, the AI assistant will generate the form based on your instructions and provide you with a live preview of it.

WPForms AI form builder

When writing this WPForms review, I tried the latest version of this feature for myself. I was pretty happy with WPForms’ first attempt, but if the form isn’t quite right, then you can continue chatting with the AI assistant to fine-tune it in real time.

You can ask the assistant to add extra fields, adjust the form layout, or make any other changes until your form is exactly what you need. No matter what I asked, WPForms delivered – making this another game-changing feature.

Use the AI assistant to edit and customize generated forms

My Honest Review: Okay, so this is another exciting feature. Is this the future of form creation? I’d say so! In fact, I’d encourage anyone to download WPForms and try this feature for themselves (I’ve been experimenting with it a TON already).

8. Built-in Spam Protection

Spambots and malicious scripts may crawl your site looking for non-secure forms so they can send you spammy links, or even post malicious content. If you’ve been running a website or blog for a while, then you’ve probably already seen your fair share of spam submissions (I know WPBeginner has!)

If your forms collect user-submitted content, then spambots may even be able to upload malicious files to your site. That’s even worse than spammy submissions!

In my experience, it’s surprising how many WordPress contact form plugins don’t have built-in spam protection. Even if a plugin had basic spam protection features, then I still found many of those anti-spam measures unreliable or difficult to use.

That’s why I made sure to prioritize security when developing WPForms. Every form you create with our plugin includes a built-in spam protection token, which is unique to each submission and invisible to both spambots and visitors.

Protecting your website against spammers and hackers

WPForms also has built-in reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile protection.

You can easily enable these anti-spam tools in the WPForms settings.

Using anti-spam captcha on your WordPress blog or website

Don’t want to use Google’s reCAPTCHA on your site due to privacy concerns? Then you can create your own question-based CAPTCHA using WPForms’ custom CAPTCHA addon.

This CAPTCHA addon allows you to block contact form spam in WordPress, without having to rely on Google. It may sound complicated but trust me, the clear onscreen instructions make it easy to set up.

Enabling captcha on your website or blog

Another option is to password protect your form using the Form Locker addon.

In this way, you can control who has access to the form. This may not be a good option for all websites, but it’s an effective way to block spammers.

How to password-protect your forms

To learn more, head over to our guide on how to password protect your WordPress forms – it has all the information you need!

How Do I Use it?: I add a reCAPTCHA to all my forms across WPBeginner. This does a great job of blocking spammy submissions.

An example of a secure form, created using WPForms

9. Seamless Integration With Popular Tools, Services, and Plugins

This is a big one. WPForms integrates with all the best email marketing services, payment gateways, must have WordPress plugins, and online services.

Some of these integrations are available out-of-the-box. For example, both WPForms Lite and the premium plugin allow you to create Constant Contact newsletter signup forms without installing any extra addons. I just tested this feature for myself, and it worked perfectly with minimal set up.

Email marketing integrations

You can even automatically add people to your Constant Contact lists, based on the information they type into your forms.

This is how I used WPForms to grow my email list. You can even use conditional logic to add subscribers to different lists depending on their answers. The possibilities are endless!

You can use WPForms with additional CRMs, email marketing providers, tools, and payment platforms using special addons. For example, WPForms has addons for PayPal, ActiveCampaign, Drip, and more.

In addition, WPForms offers Entry Automation, which lets you automatically send form submissions to Google Drive or Dropbox. This helps you streamline workflows and stay on top of every submission.

You’ll find all the available integrations over at the official WPForms website.

How Do I Use it?: As the creator of WPForms, I designed our plugin to play nicely with all the tools and services we use on WPBeginner. But one area where I’m particularly proud is our email marketing integrations.

I’ve had the opportunity to integrate WPForms with a variety of popular email marketing platforms, including Mailchimp and Drip. And I can tell you that it’s been a game-changer for me – being able to seamlessly connect my forms with my email marketing campaigns has helped me build stronger relationships with my audience.

My Honest Thoughts: WPForms integrates with over 400+ popular email marketing tools, CRM, and other business apps – that’s pretty impressive! Whether you’re using a well-known platform like Mailchimp or something more specialized, I’m confident that we have an integration for you.

10. Professional and Community Support

I’m committed to making sure WPForms is accessible and easy to use for everyone – whether you’re a seasoned WordPress expert or just starting out.

If you prefer to find answers yourself, then WPForms has detailed online documentation and a WPForms blog where you’ll find step-by-step guides covering everything from how to use specific WPForms features, right through to general advice such as how to do lead generation like a pro.

WPForms' online documentation

There’s also an active Facebook group where you can connect with over twenty-eight thousand WPForms users.

If you’re a more advanced user, then WPForms has detailed developer guides showing how to extend and customize the plugin’s code. If you’re a WordPress developer, then this is a must-have resource.

WPForms' developer documentation

Even better, you can access all these resources no matter whether you download the free WPForms Lite plugin, or upgrade to WPForms Pro.

If you buy a WPForms license, then you’ll get access to professional support. The WPForms team aims to respond to all requests within 24 hours, during weekdays.

Priority support for WPForms

WPForms Review: Pricing and Plans

If you’re looking for a free form builder, then you can’t really go wrong with WPForms Lite. It has everything you need to create all kinds of forms, and lets you create as many forms as you want. I’d also recommend WPForms Lite if you simply want to add a basic contact form to your site, and don’t need any of the more advanced features.

However, if you want more powerful features and templates, then WPForms Pro is by far the better option.

WPForms Pro's premium pricing plans

There are four WPForms plans covering a range of different use cases. I don’t think you’ll have a problem finding a plan that’s perfect for you, no matter whether you run a small WordPress blog, business website, or even a large online enterprise.

Here’s your options:

  1. Basic. For $49.50 per year, you can install WPForms on a single blog, website, or online store.
  2. Plus. Priced at $99.50 per year, the Plus plan integrates with additional tools and services, including Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, and Brevo (formerly Sendinblue). If you already have a website, then this allows WPForms to integrate seamlessly into your existing set up. You can also install WPForms on up to 3 websites.
  3. Pro. For $199.50 annually, this plan lets you install WPForms on up to 5 websites. The Pro plan also unlocks some additional features such as conversational forms, form landing pages, and offline forms.
  4. Elite. Priced at $299.50 per year, Elite lets you use WPForms on as many websites as you want. That said, it’s a good option for WordPress development agencies who want to use the same plugin across all their client sites. This advanced plan gives you access to all of WPForms’ integrations and addons, making it a form-building powerhouse.

For small business users, the Basic and Plus plans are affordable and have everything you need to create advanced forms, including form templates, entry management, advanced form fields, conditional logic, form notifications, spam protection, and standard customer support.

If you want to use WPForms with your email service provider or newsletter plugin, then Plus integrates with many popular services.

However, WPForms Pro is my top pick, especially if you want to create payment forms. The Pro plan integrates with PayPal, Stripe, and Square, so you can easily accept online payments and set up recurring subscriptions. 

Finally, the WPForms Elite plan includes bonus form templates, user journey reports, premium customer support, and much more. With that in mind, WPForms is a top-tier plan that’s perfect for marketing agencies and enterprises.

How WPBeginner Uses WPForms (My Experience)

As I’ve already mentioned, I use WPForms for all the forms across WPBeginner. This includes my contact form, make a suggestion form, and even our job application forms.

The WPBeginner contact form

Since WPBeginner is the most popular free WordPress resource, I get a ton of form spam.

Thankfully, WPForms lets me add a reCAPTCHA to all my forms.

WPBeginner's spam protection feature

It also provides me with the IP of spammers, so I can block those IP addresses in WordPress and stop them from visiting in the future. All together, these features have stopped form spam in its tracks, so I can respond to genuine submissions more quickly.

I’ve also used WPForms to grow my email list. When users fill out our contact form, they can sign up for our email newsletter, simply by checking a box.

How to grow your email list using WPForms

By adding this simple checkbox, WPForms has helped me gain a ton of new subscribers. In fact, I recently grew our email list by 600%!

WPForms Review: Is It the Right Form Builder for You?

To wrap up this WPForms review, I’m proud to say that WPForms has become an essential tool for me and my team at WPBeginner. Whether we’re building a simple contact form or a complex survey, WPForms has consistently delivered.

One of the things that sets WPForms apart is its incredible library of over 2,000 ready-made templates – no matter how niche your needs may be, I’m confident that you’ll find a template to make your life easier. And with advanced features like conditional logic and conversational forms, you can create truly engaging and interactive experiences for your visitors.

In particular, if you’re a business owner and want to create powerful custom forms without learning CSS code or hiring a developer, then I recommend WPForms Pro.

But if you’re just starting out or have a limited budget, our WPForms Lite plugin is an excellent choice. Although it’s missing some of the more advanced features, it has everything you need to create a contact or payment form and then add it to any page, post, or widget-ready area across your WordPress website. If I wasn’t already using WPForms Pro, then the Lite plugin would be my top pick.

Even if you eventually need to upgrade to the premium plugin, WPForms Lite is a great starting point for anyone who isn’t sure whether they need more advanced features just yet.

WPForms Review: FAQs

Is WPForms free to use?

Yes! You can download WPForms for free from the official WordPress repository and create as many forms as you want. The free plugin lets you choose from a wide range of ready-made fields including advanced options such as payment fields, reCAPTCHA, and GDPR agreement sections.

However, the premium plugin supports conditional logic so you can show different fields based on the visitor’s previous responses, choose between over 2,000 ready-made form templates, collect recurring payments, and access a ton of other features. With that said, I’d recommend investing in the premium plan.

Is WPForms worth it?

I believe that every website and form is different, so what works for one project won’t necessarily work for another. That’s why it’s a good idea to try out different form builders for yourself!

I’ve tried countless different WordPress plugins over the years, including Formidable Forms, Gravity Forms, and Ninja Forms. However, WPForms is definitely my top pick. It’s easy to use and comes with lots of different templates, so you can pretty much create any type of form you want.

Plus, the premium plugin has a ton of advanced features, including powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can create entire forms for you. For that alone, WPForms is definitely ‘worth it’!

Is WPForms GDPR compliant?

As a website owner, I take GDPR very seriously, and you should too. If you don’t, then you may get a big fine or even jail time – and nobody wants that! The good news is that WPForms has a ton of features that can help you create GDPR-complaint forms.

To start, you can easily add a GDPR agreement field to your forms, so users need to give explicit consent before submitting their data.

How to create a GDPR-compliant WordPress form using WPForms

You can also disable cookies, disable user IP collection, and disable entries with a single click.

To comply with GDPR, organizations must give users access to their data and allow them to request its deletion.

With that in mind, I recently experimented with using WPForms to create a ‘Data access/delete’ form so visitors can request access to their data, or even ask me to delete it.

This was very easy to achieve using WPForms and I was happy with the results, so I’d recommend WPForms to anyone who needs comply with GDPR (and that’s basically everyone who runs a blog or website!)

How do I install WPForms?
You can install and activate WPForms, just like any other WordPress plugin.

With that done, simply head over to WPForms » All Forms in your WordPress admin panel and then click the ‘Add New’ button. You can then follow the onscreen instructions to create your first form. Trust me, it’s pretty straightforward!

  1. WPForms is the absolute best, in my opinion. I have spent probably 4k with them over the years. I like not just the forms but also its versatility and all the things it can do. There are lots of tutorials and support documentation that are extremely helpful. Most importantly, the support team stands behind the product and has always been there when I have any issues (I rarely have issues).

  2. easy to use form builder with drag and drop function. Payment setup using stripe is simple. worth for buying it

  3. I use this on every website I build and manage. So easy to use, integrate with popular CRM platforms. Customer service is also great.

  4. Love wpform! Been using this little magical plugin for over 5 years and have never had a single problem. They even send me free stuff every once in a while such as a new t-shirt that happens to be amazingly soft.

  5. WPForms worked as advertised. I had very little experience building and using forms but the tutorial and helps made it easy for me. Step-by-step.

  9. I really enjoy using WPForms. They make it easy to create sophisticated forms that just keep getting better with each new software update.

  10. Since upgrading our WPForms our ability to connect with members has been seamless. Thanks for providing an easy format to work with.

  11. I prefer WPForms over other other contact forms because they provide seamless way to configure SMTP and email notification every form submission and I have no issue connecting my MS 365 emails to my WPForms.

  12. WP forms is pretty user friendly, which I enjoy. I love how there is detail blog post for everything you might want to know about it’s features. The free version wasn’t covering what I needed, but after buying the pro version it seemed to resolve the features I was missing. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive, or there was a shorter term plan, as I needed it only for a short term form. Also had a feature continue to glitch and had to reach out to support. Still waiting on a resolution to that, which is a bummer since I’m on a deadline at my work and the glitch is the only thing preventing me from completing it.

  13. I liked that when I was unable to figure out how to add the product key on my own, I reached out and got feedback that was easy to understand and implement.

  18. This is a great plugin for specific form builds. Their services helped us figure out the best way to server or client’s very specific onsite release form needs.

  19. We use WPForms almost exclusively at Philly Web Team after converting over from Ninja Forms. Aside from the ease of use in the admin, the overall coding structure is just easier for us to work with and build custom one-off integrations for our clients sites. Additionally, the pricing is way better. We’d rather have one subscription for everything, especially unlimited, than have a million individual add-on subscriptions limited to only so many sites. Just make sense as the better choice for all of our form solutions. We even get great feedback from our clients who are more hands on and enjoy the interface of setting up their own forms.

  20. I run the website for a community garden and have zero experience in managing a website. We have used WPForms since 2017. As a novice, it was easy to install and use. I highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for an easy way to create various forms. We customized it to produce about five different forms.
