Submissions page – form dropdown limit

Hi @timeassistant

I hope you’re well today and thank you for pointing this out!

I think we’ve never tested Forminator with that many forms. I mean, we did test it with a lot of them but not thousands – it’s not really a common use case, I believe.

But I looked into the code and it seems there actually is sort of a limit. The forms that are fetched to the “form switcher” on submissions page – they are fetched using Forminator API “get_forms()” method and among its parameters are two important numbers (undocumented in API docs): “page” and “per_page” – which are related to paging that is used on “Forminator -> Forms” page.

Apparently those are set to use one page with 999 forms max – in 99% of cases it’s more than enough and I’ve never seen a setup with more forms than this. But it is something that certainly needs attention so I’ve reported it to our Forminator Team to review.

For now, it should be possible to override this with a bit of custom code, I believe. Would you give it a try?

The code is:

<?php 

add_filter( 'forminator_entries_get_forms', 'forminator_entries_get_forms_custom_limit', 11, 1 );
function forminator_entries_get_forms_custom_limit( $forms ) {

	$status = 'publish';
	$limit = 2;
	
	$forms = Forminator_API::get_forms( null, 1, $limit, $status );
	
	return $forms;
}

To use it on site:

– create an empty file with a .php extension (e.g. “forminator-custom-switcher-limit.php”)
– copy and paste code into it
– set your max limit in this line (replace number 2 with the number that will allow you get all forms)

$limit = 2;

– upload the file to the “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of your site’s WordPress installation

Let us know if it works for you, please!

Best regards,
Adam
