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, file uploads, conditional logic, signatures, 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. Export entries to CSV at any time.
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
Show or hide fields 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 From Contact Form 7 in One Step
Contact Form 7 does not save submissions. Import your Contact Form 7 and WPForms forms with their labels, fields and notification email under Forms → Import. Your original forms are only read, never changed.
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, reCAPTCHA, honeypot, time trap, rate limiting, disposable email blocking and a keyword blacklist, with every blocked attempt counted on the dashboard.
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.

External Services
This plugin optionally connects to the following third-party services for spam protection. These services are only used when the site administrator explicitly enables and configures them.
Google reCAPTCHA
When enabled in the form builder, this plugin loads the Google reCAPTCHA widget on form pages and sends form submission verification requests to Google’s servers. The user’s reCAPTCHA response token is sent to Google for validation. No personal data is sent by the plugin itself, though Google may collect usage data through their widget script.
Cloudflare Turnstile
When enabled in Forms → Settings → Cloudflare Turnstile, this plugin loads the Cloudflare Turnstile widget script on form pages and sends form submission verification requests to Cloudflare’s servers. The user’s Turnstile response token and the visitor’s IP address are sent to Cloudflare for validation.
