Build powerful custom forms with an intuitive drag-and-drop builder. Create everything from simple contact forms to advanced forms with templates, Gutenberg, modern spam protection, and more.

Custom Contact Forms gives you features many form plugins keep for their paid versions: every entry saved to your database, conditional logic, file uploads, a signature field, Mailchimp signup forms, webhooks to Zapier, Make and n8n, and a dashboard that shows how each form performs. Build with drag and drop, start from a template, or describe the form you need.

Try it before you install: click Preview above to open a demo site with sample forms and a month of entries.

Every Entry, Saved and Measured

Each submission is stored in your WordPress database, so nothing is lost if a notification email goes astray. The Forms dashboard shows entries, form views, conversion rate and blocked spam for any date range, with a chart and a per-form breakdown. A weekly summary email brings the same numbers to your inbox every Monday. Export entries to CSV at any time.

Mailchimp, Webhooks and More, on One Page

Add people who fill in a form to a Mailchimp audience, with double opt-in and an optional consent checkbox. Each form chooses its own audience. Webhooks send every new entry to Zapier, Make, n8n or any other service that accepts them, so your forms can reach the apps you already use.

Everything connects from one Integrations page: Mailchimp, webhooks, Akismet, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA, each on its own card that shows whether it is connected. If a subscriber or webhook does not go through, the reason is listed under Recent problems, so you are not left guessing.

Signatures, Free

Add a signature field to any form. Visitors sign with a mouse, finger or stylus, and the signature is saved with the entry and included in the notification email.

Smart Forms Without Code

Conditional logic is included free: show or hide fields and sections based on answers. Accept file uploads, lay fields out in columns, send multiple email notifications per form, and create a WordPress post from a submission.

Switch Form Plugins in One Step

Moving from Contact Form 7, WPForms, Ninja Forms or Fluent Forms? Import your forms with their labels, fields, choices and notification email under Forms Import, and anything that can’t be converted is listed in a report. Your original forms are only read, never changed, and you can still import after the other plugin is deactivated. Contact Form 7 does not save submissions, so switching also means every new entry is kept.

AI That Stays On Your Site

Describe the form you need, such as “a booking form for a dog grooming appointment with the owner’s details and their preferred date”, and it is built for you, ready to edit. It uses the AI provider already connected to your site under Settings > Connectors, so there is no API key to enter and nothing is sent to us. Requires WordPress 7.0 or later; the option stays hidden otherwise.

Spam Protection Built In

Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA, honeypot, time trap, rate limiting, disposable email blocking and a keyword blacklist, with every blocked attempt counted on the dashboard. If you use Akismet, entries it flags go to a spam folder instead of being thrown away, so a real message caught by mistake is never lost.

Build Your Way

The drag-and-drop builder lives inside the media manager, so there are no separate admin pages and no new interface to learn. Live previews update as you build. Start from a prebuilt template (contact, quote request, newsletter, event registration, or feedback), style forms with included themes, per-field widths or your own CSS, and insert them with the Gutenberg block, shortcode, widget, or PHP function.

Powering thousands of active websites, with over 1.3 million all-time downloads. Originally created by Taylor Lovett, Custom Contact Forms is now actively maintained by Dmitry Alexander, rebuilt for modern WordPress with a hardened, PHP 8+ codebase, a refreshed builder, and new features added regularly.

Customize More with Pro

Custom Contact Forms Pro turns the builder you already know into forms that sell, book, and sign, with no e-commerce stack required: Stripe and PayPal payment forms, monthly memberships and other subscriptions, donation forms, deposit and booking forms, and waivers with signed PDF records.

Stripe payments on the form: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link, with a live “Pay $25.00” button and server-verified totals
PayPal payments: pay in place without leaving your form, with the same server-verified totals
Subscriptions and recurring payments: charge weekly, monthly or yearly through Stripe, such as memberships, classes or retainers. The form shows what renews and when, and subscribers get a link to update their card or cancel
Product & pricing fields: fixed price, multiple options, or customer-chooses-amount, with quantities, images, and enforced minimums
Coupons & live totals: percentage or fixed discounts, order total updates as visitors choose
Signatures in PDF receipts: the signature appears in the PDF receipt, alongside consent records and waiver and agreement templates
Consent / terms field: scrollable terms with versioned agreement records, snapshotted permanently
PDF receipts: attached to notification emails for paid orders, plus one-click PDF download of any submission
Multi-step forms: page breaks, progress bar, per-step validation
Conditional pricing: show or hide products and priced fields based on answers
More email marketing: MailerLite, Brevo, Kit, ActiveCampaign and MailPoet, alongside the free Mailchimp connection
Survey & star rating fields: Likert grids and quick ratings
Address autocomplete: visitors pick their address as they type and the street, city, state and ZIP fill themselves in (uses your own Google API key)
SMS confirmations: text customers the moment they book or pay, through your own Twilio account
13 ready-made templates: donations, orders, registrations, waivers, agreements, and more
No added transaction fees: you pay only Stripe’s or PayPal’s standard processing fees

When the Akismet plugin is installed and set up, and Akismet checks are turned on in its card on Forms Integrations, the name, email, website and text fields of each entry, the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent and referring page are sent to Akismet to check for spam.

Mailchimp

When you add a Mailchimp API key in Forms Integrations and choose an audience for a form, this plugin connects to the Mailchimp Marketing API to list your audiences, and sends the email address and name from each entry of that form to the chosen audience.

Webhooks

When you add webhook URLs to a form, each new entry of that form (the form name, entry date, page address and every field’s label and value) is sent to those URLs. Only the URLs you enter are contacted. The terms and privacy policy of the service you choose apply to the data it receives.

Custom Contact Forms tips and news (oiopublisher.com)

The plugin offers an optional signup for tips and release news, once on the Forms dashboard and once in the form builder, and on Forms > Settings. Only if you click Subscribe, the plugin sends the email address and first name you entered, your site address, your Custom Contact Forms and WordPress versions, where you signed up, and the consent wording shown to you, to our server at api.oiopublisher.com. Choosing “No thanks” or closing the box sends nothing. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.

Custom Contact Forms blog (customformspro.com)

The Custom Contact Forms widget on the WordPress Dashboard and the Forms Dashboard page show the titles and dates of the three latest posts from our blog. To get them, your site’s server reads the public feed at https://customformspro.com/feed/ at most once every 12 hours and keeps a copy. Like every request WordPress makes, it carries your site’s address and WordPress version in its user agent. No form entries, user details or visitor data are sent, and nothing is loaded from our site in your visitors’ or users’ browsers. Hide the widget under Screen Options on the Dashboard, or developers can turn the blog posts off in both places with add_filter( 'ccf_dashboard_blog_feed', '__return_false' );.
