Formidable adapts to YOUR needs.

Want to run quizzes on your site? Formidable is your quiz maker with all the features you need to create and run both educational quizzes and the beloved (and addictive) BuzzFeed style quizzes.

Our team has worked hard to create the Swiss Army Knife for WordPress. Plus, we’ve made integrations that fit into your tech stack.

Check out some of our main features below:

Drag & Drop Form Maker

Our form maker comes with all the powerful fields that you need to create a solution-focused form, fast!

Formidable drag and drop forms allow you to quickly build unlimited surveys, quizzes, price calculators, and whatever else you need.

Complete Entry Management for Web Forms and Surveys

When a user submits a web form, it’s stored in your WordPress database so you won’t lose any leads. Formidable allows you to view all your quiz and survey entries right from your WordPress dashboard (even in the free version!).

Even though the entries are saved, it’s still a GDPR-friendly form generator. You can turn off IP tracking or stop saving submissions entirely. Or add a GDPR checkbox field to your lead forms and payment forms to collect consent.

Need to import your leads to an external service like MailChimp? No problem. Export leads to a CSV, open it in Excel, or import it anywhere.

You can also configure unlimited email notifications and autoresponders triggered by submissions.

On top of that, you can easily customize the success message after a form is submitted, or redirect visitors to another page.

The Only Form Maker Plugin with an Advanced Styler

With our built-in styler, you can instantly customize the look and feel of your website form. With just a few clicks, your email form can be transformed to match your website design.

By default, a single styling template is created. If you want a custom form style for each footer and sidebar form, check out the premium version of Formidable.

Build Smart Surveys with Beautiful Reports

Formidable Pro includes an intuitive survey feature (like Survey Monkey, but without the high costs), so you can quickly create powerful surveys with Net Promoter Scores (NPS), Likert fields, star ratings, image radio buttons, and more.

We believe that data alone does no good if you can’t analyze it. That’s why we make it easy to analyze data from a survey, quiz, or calculator. Beautiful reports will be waiting for you, or create your own customized graphs. Our graphs and reports will help you analyze and showcase data.

You can even showcase data on the front-end of your website. Just embed graphs in your WordPress posts or pages.

The best part is that you can do this all without any third-party tools.

Quickly Create an Advanced WordPress Registration Form for Any Use Case

Whether you need to create a youth sports team, event, or church retreat registration, Formidable has you covered. Unlike other contact form plugins, Formidable comes with a repeater field that allows you to create the best registration forms.

Then, our marketing integrations and APIs can send the data anywhere you want.

Accept Credit Cards and Easily Collect Payments

By now, you probably already realize the theme that Formidable is more than just a WordPress contact form plugin. You can use it to create a payment form and accept credit card payments right from your website.

We offer seamless integration with PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.net, so you can create an order form, donation form, or purchase form.

You can even create a WooCommerce form with custom fields.

Make Data-Driven Web Applications with a Formidable View

Formidable Views are by far the most powerful feature that makes Formidable far more than just a contact form plugin. Views allow you to flexibly display any submitted data on the front-end of your website.

Our customers use Formidable Views to create data-driven web apps. We see real estate listings, employment listings, event calendars, business or member directories, job boards, and other searchable databases.

As you can see, Formidable is not your average contact form plugin. It’s a true all-in-one WordPress form solution.

Increase Sales with WooCommerce Product Order Forms

Formidable is the only WordPress form builder plugin that offers extensive integration with WooCommerce orders.

Our goal is to empower you to build powerful WooCommerce product order forms, so you can increase your store sales.

You can create a WooCommerce form to use as a WooCommerce product configurator with custom calculation fields. Then automatically send the order form info to the WooCommerce cart with variable pricing options.

Make Powerful Quiz Forms & Calculators

In addition to a simple order form, you can also create quizzes or web calculators.

More on quizzes later, but here are some example online calculators that you can quickly add to your WordPress site:

Advanced Mortgage Calculator
Basic Mortgage Calculator
Car Payment Calculator
Net Promoter Score (NPS) Survey
BMI Calculator and more Health and Fitness Calculators
User Age Calculator
Online Quote Calculator
Finance Calculator
Booking Cost Calculator
Product Price Calculator

… and our powerful calculated fields allow you to build just about anything.

You can also create a poll, or survey on your WordPress site and display the results. This is great for membership sites, LMS, or just for viral quizzes to grow your email list.

Now you can create custom form-based solutions without any code.

Create a WordPress User Registration Form, Profile Form, and More

If you run a WordPress membership site, then you need a form maker that allows you to customize your WordPress user registration form and collect data with a user profile.

With our front-end editing, you can build a custom profile form for users to keep their profile up to date. You can even progressively add to the profile from a set of forms. Everything from the first lead form to the last payment form can extend the user profile. Once logged in, all new submissions in a quiz, or support form can be linked to that user account.

You will not find any other WordPress form plugin offering a front-end editing solution with the same level of extendability.

All the Advanced Fields & Features You Need to Grow Your Business

Formidable goes far above and beyond with features like multi-page forms, save and continue, cascading form fields, and powerful conditional logic. Then add partial submissions, invisible spam protection, front-end user post submission, calculated fields, user flow, quizzes, and so much more. Additionally, our Payment fields will help you create a donation form, booking form, credit card form, or other payment form.

We’re on a mission to offer all-in-one solution-focused forms. This way you don’t have to install 5 plugins alongside your form maker to do everything you want.

Extend & Customize – A Developer’s Dream Come True

Formidable is the solution of choice for smart developers, freelancers, and agencies. It helps you build complex solutions and simple forms quickly to defy the limits imposed by time and knowledge.

Our goal is to help you build complex websites with low overhead. That’s why we made Formidable the most extendable WordPress form plugin on the market. We want to make it possible for anyone to defy gravity and build anything.

A Formidable View allows you to display data anywhere, so you can quickly create data-driven web apps.

On top of that, our hooks and filters allow you to extend Formidable to meet your most advanced needs. We even include hundreds of code examples in our docs to give you the confidence to get started.

FAQ

How do I get started with the best forms for WordPress?

The fastest way to build a form is to use the contact form example we built for you. After you activate Formidable, insert [formidable id=contact-form] on the WordPress page of your choice.

Go to the Formidable page and click « add new ». Choose the Contact Us form template or another free template and click « Create ».

Next, edit or create a WordPress contact page. Click the « Formidable » button to open the shortcode generator. Choose your new Stripe form, quiz, or web form and insert it into the WordPress page. Save the page for a beautiful WP contact form, ready to collect and store your leads. The contact form template will get you up and running fast.

Why isn’t WordPress sending emails?

When you do not receive emails, try the following steps:

Double check the email address in your Email action on the settings page. The [admin_email] shortcode uses the email address from your WordPress Settings -> General page.
Are you receiving other emails from your site (ie comment notifications, forgot password…)? If not, notifications will not work either.
Check your SPAM box.
Try a different address in your settings.
Install WP Mail SMPT or another similar emailing alternative and configure the SMTP settings.
If these steps don’t fix the problem and other WP signup emails are not going out, please reach out to your web host.

vesstally 2 décembre 2022

Easy to use!!! I have tried different alternatives. Finally, I have chosen it!

amciotola 29 novembre 2022

This plug-in is so versatile that there is no other one that compares to the power of this one! Steph and her team only make it better and better with each release. One of the best things about this is that learning the basics and even more moderate skill set is just so easy to do! I've taken to really put the time into learning how it worked and with this plug-in alone I was able to build not only a customer portal for a small business but also build an employee portal with the ability to keep functions separate from each. Unfortunately, the business has since closed but I've been thinking of putting the site up as a sample of the work I've done and more than half of it would not have been possible with this cool plug-in!

awedemeyer 29 novembre 2022

At the beginning i wished to have a somehow "nicer" interface. Didn´t feel really comfortable with the UI. But it is a really powerful tool that works very consistently so after - maybe a little bit more time compared to other tools - you really don't wish to miss it!

tangolara 29 novembre 2022

Formidable Forms has it all! I am an avid user of Formidable Forms and other popular form builders. I have to say, when it comes to ease of use, functionality, and options, I prefer Formidable Forms above them all! I usually have to purchase other add-ons at a premium price for the other form builders, and the add-ons typically slow down my site. Formidable includes the add-ons I use most in my subscription, so I'm not wasting hundreds of dollars on slow plugins. Also, I've never had a problem with Formidable Forms slowing down my site. I'm very pleased with Formidable Forms! Thanks so much for all your hard work and effort!

johndeese 28 novembre 2022

I am glad that we chose formidable as our document handling process integrated into our business. Ever since my business has grown change to meet our customers demand so have formidable. Keep up the good work.

crowesam 22 novembre 2022

I've used this plugin for over ten years and it just keeps getting better!

Journal

5.5.4

New: Added support for hCaptcha. Now in Global Settings, the reCAPTCHA tab has been changed to a CAPTCHA tab with a new CAPTCHA type setting so you can choose between using reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha.
Fix: Avoid a fatal error if the hidden columns setting is in an unexpected format on the form and entry list pages. This may happen because of invalid option data being set or a conflict with another plugin or custom code.
Fix: Long field names on the reports tab would force the table to horizontally scroll. A long field name will now break into multiple lines instead.
Fix: The frm_form_object filter wouldn’t get applied to a cached form result.
Fix: Prevent an undefined function get_editable_roles fatal error that triggers when trying to connect an account.
Fix: An incorrect section comparison was causing fields to keep old section data after being moved somewhere else. This would result in unexpected data exports and other side effects.
Fix: A « row is undefined » error would prevent merging multiple field groups together after the layout option was clicked.
Updated message styling on admin pages.

5.5.3

New: HTML emails using wpautop will now also convert line breaks into
tags.
New: Improved support for importing large XML files. Previously a file over 200MB would trigger a « parser error : internal error: Huge input lookup » error.
Fix: When an HTML email includes a body tag, only the content of the body tag will use wpautop.
Fix: A duplicated field group would merge into one larger field group instead of creating a second identical field group as expected.
Fix: The « Add Fields Here » placeholder wouldn’t hide after duplicating a section until after refreshing the page.
Fix: The Screen Options tab was not hidden after duplicating an entry, causing it to overlap the update button.
Fix: An imported view shortcode was not properly updating to its new ID value if the post containing it did not also include a [formidable] shortcode.
Fix: Tooltips that overlap the element that triggered the tooltip would cause the tooltip to flicker on and off.
Fix: The ellipses icon that triggers shortcode pop ups was offset incorrectly in of text fields inside of form actions.
Fix: The update button was missing on the alternative style editor submenu link available from the WordPress themes menu.
Fix: Honeypot fields should no longer gain focus when tabbing through fields in Chrome.
Fix: Fields wouldn’t follow the cursor as expected after scrolling the page while dragging.
Fix: Recent styling updates were applying to radio buttons in the form builder by mistake, causing them to look incorrect.
Front end polyfills for IE8 have been removed, reducing the size of the loaded script file.
Added additional form builder restrictions so a hidden field and page break don’t become part of a field group.

5.5.2

New: When dragging a field or field group, a smaller drag helper will be used that is more consistent with the field type options in the sidebar, and the field that is being dragged will gray out.
New: Improved error handling when installing templates from XML. A message will be shown when the simple XML extension is not installed, and errors will now be shown in a pop up when a template falls to install.
New: Added a new frm_before_simple_form_render action that triggers before a Gutenberg block is rendered.
New: Added a new frm_rich_text_emails filter for cases when a plain textarea may be preferred over rich text.
New: Fields with floating labels now take up less space in the front end.
Fix: When inserting a [default-plain] or [default-html] shortcode into a rich text editor, the shortcode would insert instead of changing dynamically as expected.
Fix: Rich text HTML emails were not automatically using wpautop so line breaks were not appearing in emails as expected.
Fix: Improved how drag and drop works when dragging multiple sections in a field group.
Fix: Prevent a warning that would trigger when previewing in-theme when using Twenty Twenty One.
Fix: Prevent a fatal error that would only ever happen once, immediately when upgrading to version 5.5 or higher from an older version.
Fix: Prevent a fatal error that was preventing add ons from installing via API.
Fix: Updated radio button styling on the Edit Entry page to fix visual issues at mobile screen sizes.
Embed examples no longer include title=true and description=true.
License types will no longer appear as template categories.
Plain text email actions will no longer use a rich text editor.

5.5.1

New: Email actions now use a rich text editor.
New: Added new frm_before_title, frm_before_submit_btn, and frm_after_submit_btn actions.
