Custom Contact Forms

Custom Contact Forms lets you build forms and manage submissions entirely within WordPress. The drag-and-drop builder lives inside the media manager — no separate admin pages, no learning a new interface. Live previews update as you build, and forms can be inserted via Gutenberg block, shortcode, widget, or PHP function.

Start from a prebuilt template — contact, quote request, newsletter, event registration, or feedback — and have a working form in seconds. Or build your own from scratch with text, email, phone, address, dropdowns, checkboxes, file uploads, and more. Style it with included form themes and per-field width controls, or add your own custom CSS.

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.

What You Can Build

• Contact forms, quote requests, support forms, event registrations, newsletter signups
• Text, paragraph, email (with optional confirmation), name, phone, website, address (US + international), date/time, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, file uploads, hidden fields, and HTML blocks
• Conditional fields and sections — show/hide fields based on other field values
• Multiple email notifications per form — customize recipients, subject, from name, reply-to, and body with field mapping
• Post creation on submission — map form fields to post fields, meta, and taxonomies

What’s New in 7.11

• Modernized builder — Yes/No options are now clean toggle switches, and fields display as cards in the builder canvas
• Friendly submission columns — The submissions table now shows real field labels instead of internal slugs
• Redesigned submissions table — A cleaner, more modern look for managing entries
• Redesigned templates screen — Each form template now has its own custom icon, under Forms → Templates
• WordPress 7.0 ready — Tested up to the latest WordPress

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 — 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.
