What it actually looks like

Screenshots

The Gutenberg block experience, the per-form editor, the cross-form submissions inbox, and the rendered form a visitor sees — all captured from the same production site.

The Gutenberg block experience

Insert a form or poll, pick which one to display from a dropdown, and tune the inspector — server-side preview, alignment, header, layout, and stylesheet overrides — without leaving the editor.

Core Form block freshly inserted, showing the form picker placeholder with a dropdown — Insert the Core Form block — pick which form to display from the placeholder dropdown.

Block editor canvas showing the Contact Form rendered live via ServerSideRender — Selecting a form swaps the placeholder for a live ServerSideRender preview of the actual form.

Block editor inspector panel showing Form, Header, Layout, Stylesheets and Advanced sections — Inspector sidebar — Form picker, Header (title + level), Layout (width, anchor, class), Stylesheets, and Advanced.

Inspector with Header, Layout and Stylesheets panels expanded showing all controls — All panels expanded — toggle the form title, set max-width, override theme/layout stylesheets per block.

Core Poll block placeholder showing "Choose a poll in the block sidebar" — The Core Poll block — same lifecycle as the form block, pick the poll from the inspector dropdown.

Poll block inspector showing Poll dropdown and Display Mode selector — Poll inspector — pick a poll, then choose Auto / vote form / results-only display.

On the page, for real

What visitors actually see — the default semantic theme renders a clean, accessible form on any WordPress theme. Polls follow the same design tokens so they read as the same product.

Live Core Forms contact form rendered with name, email, subject, message and a Send message button — Live form — 5-line textarea by default, 44px touch-target floor, HCM-safe focus ring.

Live Core Forms poll asking "Which is a better CMS?" with WordPress and Wix options — Live poll — same token system, single Vote button, accessible radio group.

The Forms admin

Every form on your site in one list — submissions counts, shortcodes, accessibility status — plus a four-tile dashboard at the top of the page.

Core Forms admin showing the All Forms list with metrics, shortcodes and accessibility status — All Forms — active forms, total submissions, today's submissions, spam caught, and per-form accessibility issues at a glance.

Add new form gallery showing form templates to start from — Add New — start from a template (contact, support, RSVP, multi-step) or a blank form.

The per-form editor

Edit a form across seven focused tabs — Fields, Messages, Settings, Actions, Payment, Headless, Submissions. Each tab keeps everything in scope, nothing buried.
