You're working in Claude, and your WordPress site needs a new form. Now Claude can build that form for you in WPForms, right inside the conversation you're already in. WPForms already gives you plenty of ways to build a form, from its drag-and-drop builder to its own AI form builder, AI choices, AI calculations, and Smart Edit features. This is the next step, and it points towards an entirely new direction. The assistant you already use out in the world can now reach in and build forms for you. How to Build WordPress Forms With Claude appeared first on WPForms.
Your form is live and collecting submissions, but now it needs a change, maybe a new field or a tweak to who sees what. Editing is just part of keeping your forms useful as your needs grow. With WPForms AI, you can handle those form edits in no time. You can add fields, reorder them, set up conditional logic, configure notifications, and more, all from a single prompt. In this guide, I'll show you how to edit an existing WordPress form with AI using Smart Edit and share another awesome method that can allow you to edit your WordPress forms directly via Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor! How to Edit an Existing WordPress Form With AI appeared first on WPForms.
Something big is happening in WordPress right now. The tools you rely on are starting to work alongside AI, as a real way to get things done. WordPress 6.9 opened that door with its Abilities API, and the assistants you already use, like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can act directly on your site. WPForms was one of the first to build on it. Since earlier this year, your AI assistant has been able to connect to WPForms and understand your forms, your fields, and your entries. Today, we're taking that a step further! WPForms Now Lets AI Assistants Build and Edit Your Forms appeared first on WPForms.
A branded PDF certificate — with user name, their score, and your logo — turns a forgettable form submission into something people save, print, and share. It makes your course feel real. It makes your training program look professional. And it gives quiz-takers a reason to tell other people about it. You don't need a dedicated LMS or a pile of plugins to pull this off. WPForms' Quiz addon handles the grading, and the PDF addon generates polished certificates automatically. How to Create PDF Certificates from Quiz Results in WordPress appeared first on WPForms.
Your WordPress form is doing its job and collecting resumes, profile photos, signed contracts, ID scans, but they all land in the same crowded uploads folder with names like IMG_4821 and contract-final-v2. So a month later, when you need one specific applicant's resume, finding it means scrolling through hundreds of files with nothing to tell them apart. Well, it doesn't have to be that difficult because WPForms and the Google Drive addon can send every file your form receives into the right Google Drive folder the moment someone submits. In this guide, I'll show you how to set it up, from connecting your Google account to writing folder rules that keep everything organized long after launch. How to Auto-Organize WordPress Form Uploads in Google Drive appeared first on WPForms.
Privacy laws like the GDPR say you can only keep personal data for as long as you genuinely need it, so letting old form entries sit there forever puts you at risk. Deleting them by hand is tedious, and honestly, most people forget, so the data just keeps growing. The fix is to delete old entries automatically on a schedule you set one time. WPForms gives you two ways to do that, one built into every paid plan and one more capable option for sites that take compliance seriously. I'll walk you through both, then help you decide which one fits your situation. How to Auto-Delete Old Form Entries for GDPR Compliance appeared first on WPForms.
You've added a file upload to a WordPress form, and now those files are stacking up somewhere you don't love. Every submission either lands on your web server or buries itself inside an email notification. Neither spot is built for storing real files and two of the most popular fixes for such issues are Google Drive and Dropbox. Both can catch every file your form collects and tuck it into a cloud folder for you automatically. Both Google Drive and Dropbox connect to WPForms as addons, and both lean on the same File Upload field to do their work. That makes for a clean comparison, as you can point the exact same form at either service and watch how each one stores what comes in. Google Drive vs Dropbox: Which WordPress Form File Storage Is Better? appeared first on WPForms.
At WordCamp Asia 2026, Contact Form 7's creator Takayuki Miyoshi announced that version 6.2 will be the final feature release. The plugin enters maintenance mode going forward, which means security patches and bug fixes only and no new features. A successor project called Contactable.io is in the works, but it's not expected until at least 2028. If you've been running Contact Form 7 on your site, that news probably changes the calculation. The good news is the WordPress form plugin market is crowded with strong alternatives. This article walks through the best Contact Form 7 alternatives, ranked by overall fit for the kind of site that runs (or used to run) CF7. For each, I cover what the plugin actually does, what I liked, what it costs, and where it fits best. 8 Best Contact Form 7 Alternatives for WordPress (2026) appeared first on WPForms.
WPForms has a built-in feature called AI Choices that lets you generate dropdown options, multiple choice answers, and checkbox lists from a single sentence. In this guide, I'll walk you through exactly how AI Choices works, how to use it on your forms, and a bunch of prompt ideas you can steal for your own site.

When we first built WPForms, the goal was simple. Give every small business and website owner the easiest way to build powerful forms on WordPress. Today over 6 million websites trust WPForms to power their forms every single day, and our core value towards laboring for simplicity is still the driving force behind all our decisions. That’s why I'm thrilled to introduce WPForms v1.10.1, which ships two brand new features that extend what WPForms can already do while making your workflow even easier.

If you run a WordPress site that needs to verify who someone is before letting them in, you've got a real problem to solve. Contests, age-restricted shops, member sign-ups, and freelancer onboarding, they all need ID collection, but none of them need a $300/month KYC platform to pull it off. The good news is that WPForms has a clean way to do this through a regular form. This guide walks through exactly how to build that form.

If you're trying to lift form completion rates on your WordPress site, you've probably come across two different ideas. One approach breaks your form into a step-by-step lead capture flow where related fields share a page. Another turns your form into a chat-style experience that shows visitors only one question at a time. Both formats genuinely work, and both can outperform a single long form by a wide margin. The catch is that the right pick depends on your specific form, your traffic source, and what the rest of your page is doing. This article walks through what each format actually does on a WordPress site and where each one shines. By the time you're done reading, you'll know exactly which to pick for any form on your site. Lead Forms vs Conversational Forms: Which Is The Right Pick For You? appeared first on WPForms.
If you're adding a calculator to a WordPress form, you've probably realized that picking the fields and dragging them around is the easy half of the job. The math behind those fields is where things get tricky, especially if you've never written a formula with field IDs and conditional logic before. This is where WPForms AI comes in! You describe what you want to calculate in normal English, and the AI writes the formula using the right fields and operators. In this guide, I'll walk you through how to generate calculation formulas with WPForms AI from start to finish. You won't write a single line of math yourself!

Sidebar signup forms and free PDFs still bring in subscribers, but the numbers have been sliding for years as readers learn to skip them on sight. A typical newsletter signup form converts somewhere between 1 and 2 percent, and even well-designed lead magnets like ebooks rarely push past single digits. The category that has held up best in the last few years is quizzez. The average online quiz converts at around 40 percent, which is roughly twenty times what a sidebar form pulls in. So, in this post, I'll share 5 quiz formats worth considering, with example titles you can adapt and a note on which kind of business each one tends to fit best. 5 Quiz Ideas to Grow Your Email List in 2026 appeared first on WPForms.
Did you know that email marketing delivers an average ROI of $42 for every $1 spent? And, what if I told you that for most WordPress sites running Klaviyo, a meaningful chunk of that return is walking past every form on the site? Don't believe me? Check how many form submissions you've collected in the last 30 days. Now ask yourself: how many of those contacts are actually inside Klaviyo, enrolled in your welcome sequences, and receiving your emails? Every form submission that doesn't reach Klaviyo is a lead that never enters your marketing funnel. And every day that gap stays open, you're losing revenue. WPForms Now Integrates with Klaviyo Natively! appeared first on WPForms.
When it comes to creating a quiz, it can be difficult to set up 20+ questions from scratch, and somewhere around question 9 you start second-guessing the whole endeavor. That's where an AI quiz generator earns its keep. You describe the quiz you want, the AI drafts the questions, the choices, the scoring, and you spend your time reviewing instead of writing. The catch with most options I've tried is that they ask you to bring an OpenAI API key, manage credits, and stitch the quiz output back into your site yourself. The approach I'll walk you through here uses WPForms, which has the AI builder and the quiz engine built into the same plugin. There's no API key to set up or credits to manage.

Most site owners spend months worrying about traffic, but when the traffic actually arrives, the contact form sits there, and the leads never show up. After working on a lot of WordPress forms, for my own projects and for clients, I've found the form itself is almost always what's holding things back. Small changes to how your form looks, asks, and follows up can move a 2 percent conversion rate into double digits, and you don't need a CRO specialist to pull it off. In this beginner's guide, you'll learn what form conversion optimization actually is, why most forms quietly lose leads, and the five practical pillars you can use to start fixing yours today.

If you're running a WordPress site with any kind of form, there's a good chance you're collecting personal data. Names, email addresses, payment details, feedback responses. And if even one of those visitors lives in the European Union, GDPR applies to you. I've seen too many site owners treat GDPR as a vague checkbox exercise, something you deal with by slapping a cookie banner on your homepage and calling it done. But forms are where the real data collection happens, and that's exactly where regulators are paying attention. Making your WordPress forms GDPR compliant doesn't have to be painful. In this guide, I'll walk you through everything you need to know, from what the regulation actually requires to how you can set up compliant forms in WPForms. A Complete Guide on WordPress GDPR Compliance for Forms appeared first on WPForms.
Survey data is only as powerful as your ability to understand it. And here's the hard truth: if you're staring at rows of raw responses trying to make sense of what your audience is actually telling you, you're wasting time you DON’T have. That's exactly why we built the original Surveys & Polls addon. And today, we're making it dramatically better, so you can get better insights, faster!

Someone lands on your website, finds your contact form, and starts typing their name into the first field. Then their phone buzzes, or their boss pings them, or they just close the tab thinking they'll come back later. Studies show that over 80% of people who start filling out a form never submit it. That's traffic and interest lost because there was no way to capture what they'd already typed. The good news is that WPForms has a way to capture that data before it disappears.

Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS) isn't just for big retailers anymore. Local shops, restaurants, bakeries, and even florists are offering it because customers expect it.

If you've been searching for a way to accept PayPal payments on your WordPress site, you've probably noticed that most guides point you toward WooCommerce or an expensive plugin. The good news is WPForms Lite now includes PayPal Commerce as a built-in feature. It's a free plugin, and you can use it to collect one-time or recurring PayPal payments directly through your WordPress forms. I'll walk you through the full setup in this guide. From plugin install to a live payment form, the whole thing takes about 10 minutes. How to Accept PayPal Payments in WordPress for Free appeared first on WPForms.
Contact Form 7 just announced a feature freeze. At a recent WordCamp event, the CF7 team confirmed that version 6.2 will be the final major update. After that, the plugin will only receive bug fixes and security patches. The developer explicitly stated they're moving on to the next project. If you're one of the 10 million+ site owners running CF7, your first thought is probably "my forms work fine, so why should I care?" That's fair. But a plugin in feature freeze isn't just missing new features. It's a plugin that will slowly fall behind as WordPress itself keeps evolving. I've been watching CF7's development pace slow down for a while now, and this announcement confirms what many of us suspected. The good news is that switching is faster and easier than you'd expect, and there's a free alternative that already does more than CF7 ever did. 11 Reasons to Switch From Contact Form 7 to WPForms appeared first on WPForms.
Instead of dumping your entire catalog on a visitor and hoping they figure it out, a quiz asks a few quick questions and points them toward the right product. It's like having a helpful sales associate built into your website. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through how to create a product recommendation quiz in WordPress using WPForms.

Have you ever taken a quiz where some questions just felt more important than others? That's the idea behind weighted quizzes, which assigns different point values based on how much each question matters. This lets you measure things like preferences, priorities, or tendencies with way more accuracy than a standard quiz. However, most quiz plugins force you into rigid formats like personality types or pass/fail grading. With WPForms’ Quiz addon, you don't have to worry about this at all. You just set your point values, and the plugin does the rest automatically. Let me show you exactly how to set one up. How to Create a Weighted Quiz in WordPress appeared first on WPForms.

Need to test someone's knowledge? Graded quizzes give you a simple way to see who understands the material and who needs more help!

It handles the scoring, shows correct answers, and generates grade reports automatically. Let me show you exactly how to set one up.
