Whether you need a simple contact form, event RSVP, job application, booking request, or lead-generation form, GenForm gives you everything you need right out of the box. #### Why Choose GenForm Over Other Form Plugins? Most WordPress form plugins overwhelm you with heavy page loads or confusing dashboards. GenForm takes a different approach: 🚀 **Feature-Packed** — 12 field types, 16+ templates, entry management, email notifications, CSV export, and more — all included. ⚡ **Lightweight & Fast** — CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that actually contain a form. Zero overhead on every other page. 🔒 **Privacy First** — All submissions are stored in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to any external server. 🛡️ **Secure by Default** — Built-in honeypot spam protection, IP rate limiting, nonce verification, and full input sanitization from day one. 🙌 **No Learning Curve** — If you can drag and drop, you can build a form. It’s that simple. #### Drag & Drop Form Builder Build any form visually — no code, no complexity. * Drag fields from the sidebar onto the canvas and reorder them in real time. * **12 field types**: Text, Email, Textarea, Number, Select, Radio, Checkbox, Date, URL, Phone, Hidden, and Password. * Customize every field: label, placeholder, help text, required toggle, CSS class, and column width. * **6 column-width options** (25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, 75%, 100%) to create multi-column layouts. * Clone any field with its full configuration in one click. * Type-specific controls: textarea rows, number min/max/step values. * Default values and multi-option management for Select, Radio, and Checkbox fields. #### 16+ Ready-Made Form Templates Skip the blank canvas and start with a professionally designed template. GenForm ships with **16+ templates across 7 categories** — just pick one, customize the text, and publish. * **General** — Simple Contact, Event RSVP, Volunteer Signup. * **Business** — Support Ticket, Job Application, Request a Quote, Bug Report. * **Booking** — Restaurant Reservation, Appointment Booking, Hotel Reservation. * **Marketing** — Newsletter Signup, Lead Generation, Event Registration. * **Feedback** — Customer Feedback. * **Education** — Course Enrollment. * **Healthcare** — Patient Intake. Each template comes pre-configured with the right fields, sensible validation, and polished submit-button layout. #### Smart Entry Management Every form submission is captured, organized, and easy to act on — all inside your WordPress dashboard. * Familiar list-table interface — search, filter by form, and switch between All/ Unread / Trash views. * **Quick-View popup** — scan an entry without leaving the list. * **Dedicated detail page** — see full submission data alongside metadata like IP address, browser, operating system, and source page URL. * Unread badge indicator — entries auto-mark as “read” when viewed. * Bulk actions: Mark Read, Mark Unread, Trash, Restore, Delete Permanently. * **One-click CSV export** — per form or all entries combined, with Excel-compatible formatting. #### Email Notifications Get notified instantly every time someone submits a form. * Automatic admin email on every new submission. * **Dynamic template tags**: `{form_name}`, `{entry_id}`, `{admin_email}`, `{site_title}`,`{ all_fields}`, and per-field `{field_*}` tags. * Customizable subject line, email body, sender name, sender email, and reply-to address — all configurable per form. * Global sender identity defaults in Settings — set it once, apply everywhere. * Clean HTML emails with structured data tables. #### Embed Anywhere — Gutenberg, Shortcode & Page Builders * **Gutenberg Block** — add the “GenForm” block and pick your form from the sidebar. * **Shortcode** — `[genform id="X"]` works in Classic Editor, text widgets, and any page builder (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.). * Per-form typography: choose your font size (12–24 px) and font weight (300–700). * Customizable submit button: text content and alignment (left, center, right, full-width). * Post-submission behavior: show a success message **or** redirect to a custom URL. #### Anti-Spam Protection (No CAPTCHAs Required) Keep spam out without annoying your visitors. * **Honeypot field** — a hidden input that bots fill in but real users never see. Any flagged submission is silently rejected. * **IP rate limiting** — each IP address is capped at 5 submissions per minute. Excessive attempts get a “please try again later” message. * reCAPTCHA v2/v3 key storage in global settings for additional protection when needed. No puzzles, no image grids, no friction — your visitors just submit the form. #### GDPR & Privacy Compliance * Per-form GDPR consent checkbox with fully customizable text. * Consent is validated on both the browser and the server — visitors cannot bypass it. * All data stays in your WordPress database — nothing is sent to third-party servers. * Clean uninstall removes all plugin data when you delete GenForm. #### Live Form Preview Preview any saved form exactly as your visitors will see it — directly from the builder or the All Forms page. Preview mode disables submissions so you can review the design without creating test entries. #### Beautiful Admin Dashboard * Modern admin interface with a clean, card-based layout. * **Dashboard widget** — see total forms, total entries, and the 5 most recent submissions at a glance. * **Admin Bar shortcuts** — quick links to All Forms and Entries from any admin page. * Tabbed form builder: Fields Settings Notifications — everything in one place. * Global Settings page: brand accent color, default email identity, reCAPTCHA keys, and asset optimization toggle. * Form duplication and one-click shortcode copy on the All Forms page. #### Works With Your Favorite Tools GenForm integrates seamlessly with your WordPress setup: * ✅ **Gutenberg** — dedicated block with form picker. * ✅ **Classic Editor** — embed via shortcode. * ✅ **Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder** — paste the shortcode in any text/shortcode widget. * ✅ **Any Theme** — outputs clean, semantic HTML that inherits your theme’s styles. * ✅ **Multisite Compatible** — works on WordPress multisite installs. ## Bloques Este plugin proporciona 1 bloque. * Form Block ## Instalación #### From Your WordPress Dashboard (Recommended) 1.

Yes — GenForm is free and open source under GPLv3. All the features listed on this page are included in the free plugin. Install it and start building forms right away. ### How do I add a form to my page? Two ways: 1. **Block Editor (Gutenberg):** Add the “GenForm” block and pick your form from the sidebar dropdown. 2. **Shortcode:** Copy `[genform id="X"]` from the All Forms page and paste it into any post, page, widget, or page builder module. ### Does it work with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders? Yes. Paste the `[genform id="X"]` shortcode into any text element or shortcode widget in your preferred page builder. ### Where are form submissions stored? All submissions are stored securely in your own WordPress database (in a custom ` wp_genform_entries` table). Nothing is sent to any external server. ### Can I export submissions to a spreadsheet? Yes. On the **Entries** page, click the **Export CSV** button. You can export all entries or filter by a specific form first. The export includes UTF-8 BOM for seamless Excel and Google Sheets compatibility. ### Does it support GDPR consent? Yes. Open your form’s **Settings** tab and toggle on the GDPR / Consent checkbox. A required consent field with your custom text appears before the submit button. Consent is validated on both the client and server. ### Will it work with my theme? Yes. GenForm outputs clean, semantic HTML that inherits your theme’s typography and styles. You can also fine-tune font size, weight, and submit-button alignment per form. ### Is it mobile responsive? Absolutely. All forms are fully responsive and adapt to any screen size using percentage- based column widths. ### Will it slow down my website? No. GenForm’s CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that contain a form — there is zero impact on every other page. ### How does the spam protection work? GenForm uses a two-layer approach that requires no extra setup: 1. **Honeypot field** — bots fill in a hidden input that real visitors never see. Flagged submissions are silently discarded. 2. **IP rate limiting** — each IP is limited to 5 submissions per minute via WordPress transients. No CAPTCHAs, no annoying puzzles — your visitors submit forms with zero friction. ### What happens if I uninstall GenForm? When you **delete** GenForm from the Plugins page, all custom database tables, saved options, and rate-limiting transients are removed automatically — leaving your WordPress installation clean. ## Reseñas No hay reseñas para este plugin. ## Colaboradores y desarrolladores Este software es de código abierto.
