All Features — Everything You Need to Build WordPress Forms

Form Forge is a complete WordPress form builder plugin. Below is every feature grouped by what it helps you do, with links to dedicated pages for the ones that need a deeper dive. Many of these — unlimited forms, conditional logic, webhooks, the full template library, anti-spam, CSV export — are free for everyone; the rest are included in every paid plan with no feature gating and no premium add-ons.

Building forms

AI form generator

The differentiator. Type a plain-English description of the form you want and Form Forge generates it — field types, validation, labels, ordering, all handled by AI. Most forms are 90% done after the first prompt; you polish the remaining 10% in the drag-and-drop editor.

Drag-and-drop visual builder

A clean, fast, drag-and-drop builder with a palette of field types on the left, the form area in the middle, and an inline settings panel on the right. Every field configures in place — no modal dialogs, no saving-and-waiting.

Payments and bookings

Stripe payments

A dedicated Payment field type powered by Stripe’s Card Element and PaymentIntent API. SCA / 3DS-compliant. PCI-compliant: card data never touches your WordPress server. Clients’ own Stripe keys — payments go to their account. Test/live mode toggle. Webhook with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification.

Google Calendar date picker

A dedicated field type that shows available time slots from your Google Calendar. Calculates free slots based on working hours and slot duration. Fallback to local slot rendering if Google isn’t connected.

Interactive maps (Google / Yandex)

The Map Address field gives submitters an interactive map with autocomplete, click-to-place marker, drag marker, and reverse geocoding. Stores address + latitude + longitude + formatted address. Bring your own Google Maps or Yandex Maps API key.

Notifications

Email

• Customizable subject, body, and sender
• CC, BCC, Reply-To

Security

Anti-spam

Four layers of spam protection, each toggleable per form:

1. Honeypot — hidden field invisible to humans but filled by bots
2. Time check — submissions too fast to be human are rejected
3. Token validation — CSRF-style tokens with per-submission rotation
4. Google reCAPTCHA v3 — optional, invisible, score-based

File upload security

The File Upload field supports:

AI submission analysis

Form Forge’s AI reviews your form’s submission data and tells you which field is killing your conversion. Sample output: “34% of users stop on the ‘Phone number’ field. Consider making it optional.” Runs in the background via the Forge job queue — no PHP timeout risk.

Submission detail view

Click any submission in the admin to see every field value in a modal.

Form abandonment tracking

Auto-save partially-filled forms when users navigate away, using navigator.sendBeacon(). Shows abandonment stats per form.

CSV and PDF export

Download all submissions as CSV for analysis in Excel, or as PDF for printing and archiving.

Full PDF/CSV export feature →

Developer features

REST API

9 endpoints covering forms, submissions, templates, and Stripe webhooks. Standard WordPress authentication.

Background job queue

The Forge Queue runs AI submission analysis (and any other long task) in the background with retry and exponential backoff. No PHP timeout issues.

Shortcode with copy button

[formforge id="X"] with a copy-to-clipboard button right next to every form ID in the admin.

Hooks and filters

Action and filter hooks for every submission event so you can extend Form Forge with custom code.

Design and UX

Mobile-first

Every form renders beautifully on mobile. Field sizes, tap targets, and keyboards all respect mobile conventions.

Accessibility

• Semantic HTML
• Proper label associations
• Keyboard navigation throughout
