Every premium form, poll, and survey feature.
Most forms plugins hide the good parts behind an add-on tax — and treat polls and surveys as somebody else's problem. Core Forms ships all of it in one plugin, one license, one payment.
Intelligent Inserter
Search for what you want to collect. Website, mobile and surname lead to ready-configured fields with meaningful names and browser autofill.
Write in HTML or build visually
Use the drag-and-drop field builder or drop in your own HTML — the markup you ship is exactly the markup you get.
60+ accessible starter templates
Start from contact, support, booking, survey, payment, license and 16 industry forms. The longer ones come in single-page and multi-step versions.
AJAX submissions
No page reloads, no bloat. A single small JS file handles validation, submission, and success states.
Gutenberg block + shortcode
Insert forms with the native Gutenberg block, or anywhere shortcodes work with [cf_form slug="your-form"].
Form Theme Customizer
Tune the default form theme with presets, real design tokens, desktop/mobile preview, accessibility checks, and a generated cache-safe CSS asset.
Fullscreen forms (Typeform-style)
Show one question at a time, full-bleed, with smooth animations and a progress bar. No third-party redirect, no per-response pricing.
Conditional fields & actions
Show, hide, and skip fields or actions based on values with simple data-show-if attributes.
Data variables
Use {{user.email}}, [field_name], {{post.ID}} and URL params in forms, emails, redirects and webhooks.
File uploads
Let users attach files out of the box — per-field size limits, allowed types, storage controls. No add-on needed.
Spam protection stack
reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, Akismet, honeypot, and math captcha. Mix and match per form.
Rate limiting & submission caps
Cap submissions per IP per hour, total submissions per form, or block duplicates within a session.
Submissions inbox
Read, reply, archive and search submissions in WordPress. New, read, replied, archived workflow.
CSV export & email logs
Export any submissions table to CSV. Track email delivery with a built-in email log.
Selective backup, restore, and migration
Move the Core Forms data you choose between WordPress sites, or bring forms across from six established form plugins.
Save & resume drafts
Long forms? Let users save progress and return via a unique link. Drafts auto-expire so they do not pile up.
Emails & auto-responders
Send rich HTML notifications and automated replies with field merges, conditional logic, and email logs.
Webhooks & REST API
Pipe form data to any external service. Manage submissions programmatically via the WordPress REST API.
Take payments on submission
Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Polar and FluentCart — connect once globally, then flip a per-form toggle.
Sell products & issue licenses
Sell software, digital products, services and events with Core Commerce. Customers can return for orders, receipts, licenses and downloads.
FluentCart hosted checkout
Hand a form submission off to FluentCart's checkout for products and subscriptions, on free or Pro.
Mailchimp, MailerPress, FluentCRM + 25 more
Subscribe form users to lists, push to CRMs, post to Slack/Discord, drop into Notion or Airtable, fire Zapier or Make.
Headless / REST submissions
Render and submit forms from Astro, Next.js or any non-WordPress site. Site-wide API key + drop-in widget.
Form scheduling
Open and close forms by date, day-of-week and time-of-day. Overnight windows supported.
Form analytics and drop-off
Measure views, starts, completions, conversion rate, field drop-off, and attribution without sending form data to a third party.
WCAG 2.2 accessibility
Every starter template ships WCAG-compliant — labels, fieldsets, autocomplete, aria-required. Forms work for everyone.
Polls and surveys
Native polls with scheduling, vote integrity, and live results — plus one-question-at-a-time surveys built on the same form engine.
Bundled. Forever.
