WordPress Contact Form Builder Plugin

GenForm is a modern, lightweight WordPress form builder that lets you create beautiful, responsive forms in minutes — with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

Whether you need a simple contact form, event RSVP, job application, booking request, or lead-generation form, GenForm gives you everything you need right out of the box.

Why Choose GenForm Over Other Form Plugins?

Most WordPress form plugins overwhelm you with heavy page loads or confusing dashboards. GenForm takes a different approach:

Feature-Packed — 12 field types, 16+ templates, entry management, email notifications, CSV export, and more — all included.
Lightweight & Fast — CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that actually contain a form. Zero overhead on every other page.
Privacy First — All submissions are stored in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to any external server.
Secure by Default — Built-in honeypot spam protection, IP rate limiting, nonce verification, and full input sanitization from day one.
No Learning Curve — If you can drag and drop, you can build a form. It’s that simple.

Drag & Drop Form Builder

Build any form visually — no code, no complexity.

Drag fields from the sidebar onto the canvas and reorder them in real time.
12 field types: Text, Email, Textarea, Number, Select, Radio, Checkbox, Date, URL, Phone, Hidden, and Password.
Customize every field: label, placeholder, help text, required toggle, CSS class, and column width.
6 column-width options (25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, 75%, 100%) to create multi-column layouts.
Clone any field with its full configuration in one click.
Type-specific controls: textarea rows, number min/max/step values, and text min/max character limits.
Default values and multi-option management for Select, Radio, and Checkbox fields.

16+ Ready-Made Form Templates

Skip the blank canvas and start with a professionally designed template. GenForm ships with 16+ templates across 7 categories — just pick one, customize the text, and publish.

General — Simple Contact, Event RSVP, Volunteer Signup.
Business — Support Ticket, Job Application, Request a Quote, Bug Report.
Booking — Restaurant Reservation, Appointment Booking, Hotel Reservation.
Marketing — Newsletter Signup, Lead Generation, Event Registration.
Feedback — Customer Feedback.

Each template comes pre-configured with the right fields, sensible validation, and polished submit-button layout.

Smart Entry Management

Every form submission is captured, organized, and easy to act on — all inside your WordPress dashboard.

Familiar list-table interface — search, filter by form, and switch between All / Unread / Trash views.
Star important entries — flag submissions you want to follow up on.
Quick-View popup — scan an entry without leaving the list.
Dedicated detail page — see full submission data alongside metadata like IP address, browser, operating system, and source page URL.
Unread badge indicator — entries auto-mark as “read” when viewed.
Bulk actions: Mark Read, Mark Unread, Trash, Restore, Delete Permanently.
One-click CSV export — per form or all entries combined, with Excel-compatible formatting.

Email Notifications

Get notified instantly every time someone submits a form — and automatically send a confirmation to the submitter.

Automatic admin notification email on every new submission.
Confirmation email to the submitter — configure subject, body, and which field holds their email address, all per form.
Dynamic template tags: {form_name}, {entry_id}, {admin_email}, {site_title}, {all_fields}, and per-field {field_*} tags.
Customizable subject line, email body, sender name, sender email, and reply-to address — all configurable per form.
Global sender identity defaults in Settings — set it once, apply everywhere.
Clean HTML emails with structured data tables.

Anti-Spam Protection

Keep spam out without annoying your visitors.

Honeypot field — a hidden input that bots fill in but real users never see. Any flagged submission is silently rejected.
IP rate limiting — each IP address is capped at 5 submissions per minute. Excessive attempts get a “please try again later” message.
Google reCAPTCHA v2 — add your site key and secret in Settings, then enable reCAPTCHA per form with a single checkbox.

Form Import & Export

Move forms between sites without losing a single field.

Export any form as JSON — one click from the All Forms page.
Import a JSON file — upload a previously exported form from any GenForm install to recreate it instantly.

Embed Anywhere — Gutenberg, Shortcode & Page Builders

Gutenberg Block — add the “GenForm” block and pick your form from the sidebar.
Shortcode — [genform id="X"] works in Classic Editor, text widgets, and any page builder (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.).
Per-form typography: choose your font size (12–24 px) and font weight (300–700).
Customizable submit button: text content and alignment (left, center, right, full-width).
Post-submission behavior: show a success message or redirect to a custom URL.
Enable / disable forms — toggle any form on or off without deleting it.

GDPR & Privacy Compliance

Per-form GDPR consent checkbox with fully customizable text.
Consent is validated on both the browser and the server — visitors cannot bypass it.
All data stays in your WordPress database — nothing is sent to third-party servers.
Clean uninstall removes all plugin data when you delete GenForm.

Live Form Preview

Preview any saved form exactly as your visitors will see it — directly from the builder or the All Forms page. Preview mode disables submissions so you can review the design without creating test entries.

Beautiful Admin Dashboard

Modern admin interface with a clean, card-based layout.
Dashboard widget — see total forms, total entries, and the 5 most recent submissions at a glance.
Admin Bar shortcuts — quick links to All Forms and Entries from any admin page.
Tabbed form builder: Fields Settings Notifications — everything in one place.
Global Settings page: brand accent color, default email identity, reCAPTCHA keys, and asset optimization toggle.
Form duplication, JSON export, and one-click shortcode copy on the All Forms page.
