Best Form Plugin for WordPress

Don’t believe the hype or the affiliate reviews. Formidable Pro stands head and shoulders above that “other” forms plugin.

Formidable immediately shines for its configurable, GUI-driven per-field output markup configuration. Want to integrate your form into a responsive grid framework like Bootstrap or Foundation? Simply visit your Form configuration and add the output markup to the field wrappers. No need for filters, additional plugins, or custom code to override field markup.

Next, get to know Views to display form entry data on your site — built in to Formidable Pro; no additional plugin required. Formidable is more than a form system — it’s a data input/output system.

Later, dive into hooks and filters. Want to do something with submitted data (like POST to external URL, integrate with an API, run your own logging functions, or perform a database lookup and alter a value) either before or after the user entry is stored to the database? That’s covered and is easy to implement.

Meanwhile, enjoy support from the lead developer and her close-knit team of support moderators. (An optional Priority Support tier is renewable after year 1 of purchasing a license. Updates are free forever.) On many occasions over 5 years, I’ve seen them patch in hooks or filters based on single support requests. To paraphrase: “it doesn’t do that right now, but let’s make it happen. Here’s the code to patch in. We’ll include this in the next release.” In case you don’t know, this type of response usually means a solid, well maintained, tightly controlled code base. Exactly what you want from a complex WP plugin. Their Kung Fu is Good and the paid support is great.

Formidable Pro is simple yet flexible enough for web designers and front end WP page builders to create forms without code, and also extensible enough to satisfy the complex needs of light application developers.

This should be the ONE WP forms plugin you’ll ever need.
