 * Have you created any forms in your WP admin yet. The widget doesn’t rely on forms
   created in your constantcontact.com admin area, it’s based on the WP area.

 * Yes, I did create a form in the WP Contact Form admin area.

 * I deactivated the Constant Contact plugin and deleted it, reinstalled, reconnected
   to my account and created a new test form. The dropdown list to select the form
   is still empty in the widget.

 * Are they in draft status or published? If in draft, try publishing one of them
   and re-check.
 * We don’t have the population of the widget dropdown caches, so that’s probably
   not the issue.

 * Hard to say what may be going on and why the widget isn’t finding any results
   at the moment. Everything discussed above indicates it should find at least one.
 * I know we have a Gutenberg block available that does a lot of similar queries
   for forms to potentially display. Is that turning up any results?

 * I am also experiencing this issue. I have newly installed the plugin on WordPress
   5.2.3. I have added new forms and deleted them using the WordPress interface.
   The Widget tool continues to not display any form on the Form Selection Dropdown.

 * Additional information:
    An inspection of the dropdown itself shows improperly
   rendered brackets:
 * <select class=”widefat” name=”widget-ctct_form[2][ctct_form_id]” id=”widget-ctct_form-
   2-ctct_form_id”& gt;& lt;option value=”3081″ & gt;Newsletter Sign Up& lt;/option
   >& lt;option value=”3060″ & gt;Newsletter Sign Up& lt;/option& gt;& lt;/select&
   gt;
 * The HTML is malformed. I’m editing manually via browser developer tools in order
   to make it work at the moment.
 * NOTE: I had to add spaces to get the & gt; and & lt; to show, rather than render
   as actual brackets in this post.

 * Thank you for everyone’s patience here. [@firefeather](https://wordpress.org/support/users/firefeather/)
   you are indeed correct and we have some malformed HTML being output, which is
   causing issues with selecting for everyone.
 * We will be aiming to have this addressed in a 1.6.1 release soon, along with 
   a different addressed compatibility bug.
 * If either of you want to manually hotfix your site, we can provide the instructions
   and file to edit, otherwise, just a matter of waiting briefly until we can get
   it out the door to everyone.
