Style your WordPress contact forms with no code

Use the built-in visual form style generator to instantly customize the look and feel of your WordPress forms. With just a few clicks, your forms can be transformed to match your personal style. A single form styling template will be applied to all the forms on your site. But if you decide you need different styles for different forms, Formidable Forms Pro is waiting.

Publish WordPress forms with ease

Once your WP form is built and designed just the way you like it, publish with an easy-to-use shortcode builder UI. Direct links are also available on a blank page for form previews and email surveys.

Honeypot spam protection is included in every website form. Or add Invisible reCAPTCHA, one-click reCAPTCHA, and Akismet for extra Spam control in your contact forms.

Save every form submission

You may already know it, but sending emails with your self-hosted WordPress website isn’t 100% reliable. But every lead captured in your online contact forms is important. Don’t lose a single one! This is why Formidable saves every contact form submission in your WordPress database and lists them on your Formidable -> Entries page. Now even if a form email notification fails, you won’t lose a lead.

Looking for GDPR compliance for forms? No problem. Turn off IP tracking or stop saving form submissions. Or add a checkbox field to your form to collect consent.

Need to import your leads to another service like MailChimp? No problem. Export form leads to a CSV then open it in Excel or import anywhere.

Plus, don’t lose leads by accidentally deleting a form. Send forms to the trash and recover them if needed.
