HTML Forms – Simple WordPress Forms Plugin

الوصف

With HTML Forms, you can easily add multi-purpose forms to your WordPress site.

The idea behind HTML Forms is different than most other form builder plugins: You manage the form HTML. The plugin manages the PHP and a tiny bit of JavaScript.

That’s right. No “intuitive” drag & drop interface. We believe that dynamic form builders can be great, but they also severely limit your options. Also, they’re slow and overly complicated from a technical point of view.

HTML Forms aims to be simpler, faster and smarter. It’s the ideal plugin solution for developers looking for a simple way to create a contact form or other HTML form.

You define your form fields in HTML and the plugin takes care of submitting the form, saving the data and running a configurable set of form actions.

1. Define your form fields

You can use anything that is valid HTML. Just ensure all input elements in your form have a name attribute to save the data entered in that field.

2. Configure your form actions

By default, form submissions are automatically saved for you. You can configure several other actions to run when a form is submitted, like sending an email notification or subscribing to Mailchimp.

3. Show the form somewhere on your site

Show your form by using the [hf_form] shortcode in your WordPress posts, pages or widget areas.

HTML Forms features

  • Full control over the HTML for the form fields. If you want, we’ll help you in generating the field HTML though.
  • Each form submission is automatically saved in your database and can be viewed in a simple table format.
  • Configure an unlimited amount of actions to run when a form is successfully submitted. For example, sending out email notifications.
  • Access form field values by referencing the field name, eg [NAME] or [EMAIL].
  • Hide form or redirect to URL after a successful submission.
  • Configurable & translatable form messages.
  • Field validation.
  • Developer friendly. HTML Forms comes with a myriad of JavaScript events and WordPress hooks that allow you to modify or extend the plugin’s default behavior.

Who is this for?

HTML Forms is for everyone that wants a flexible & high performing form solution.

  • Users. Managing your own site? With HTML Forms, you don’t need any technical knowledge to setup a contact form.
  • Developers. Building a site for your client? You supply the form HTML, HTML Forms takes care of validating and processing the form.
  • Theme developers. Shipping a theme? HTML Forms allows for complete blend-in with your theme, and you don’t have to write yet another contact form plugin.

With HTML Forms you can create any type of form. A contact form, email form, registration form, price quote form, you name it.

الأسئلة المتكررّة

Where can I find help?

Start by going through the HTML Forms knowledge base where we cover a wide range of frequently asked questions.

How to display a form in posts or pages?

Use the [hf_form] shortcode.

How to display a form in widget areas like the sidebar or footer?

Go to Appearance > Widgets, add the “Text Widget” to any of your widget areas and use the [hf_form] shortcode.

How do I show a form in a pop-up?

We recommend the Boxzilla pop-up plugin for this. You can use the [hf_form] shortcode in your pop-up box to render any of your forms.

Can I send an email when the form is submitted?

Yes! You can configure this by opening up the “Actions” tab when editing your form and clicking the “Email” button under “Available actions”.

Does the plugin include anti-spam measures?

The plugin comes with built-in spam protection that should stop all automated attacks. When the built-in protection doesn’t cut it, WPBruiser surely will.

The plugin works really well and gives great flexibility. The support is first class and they were able to resolve a very specific issue that I had in my slightly more unusual set up. Highly recommend

I upgraded to pro on this one to get webhooks. For those with OCD attention to detail for clean code, like me, then this plugin is the way to go. One question: How do I add custom attributes to the form element? I’m attempting to prevent autofocus on page load by adding the attribute tabindex=0 to the form; unless you have an alternative recommended approach. Thank you for the great software!

I was planning on implement plugin less contact form till I found this one. Thank you for developing this 🙂
