Overview

HTML Forms is a streamlined WordPress plugin designed for users who prefer to manage their form's HTML while the plugin handles the backend processing with PHP and minimal JavaScript. Unlike most drag-and-drop form builders, HTML Forms offers developers full control over the form's HTML, making it faster and more flexible. Users define form fields directly in HTML, and the plugin manages form submission, data saving, and an array of configurable actions such as email notifications and integrations with services like Mailchimp. The plugin also provides features such as data storage, form validation, and developer-friendly hooks and events to customize or extend functionalities. Ideal for both novice site managers and experienced developers, HTML Forms supports creating various types of forms including contact, registration, and price quote forms using a simple shortcode.

Full Control Over HTML

  • Allows you to use any valid HTML for form fields.
  • Ensures all input elements with a name attribute save the data entered in that field.

Configurable Form Actions

  • Automatically saves form submissions.
  • Allows configuration of multiple actions like sending email notifications or subscribing to Mailchimp.

Easy Form Integration

  • Use the [hf_form] shortcode to display forms in WordPress posts, pages, or widget areas.
  • Provides options to hide the form or redirect to a URL after successful submission.

Developer Friendly

  • Comes with numerous JavaScript events and WordPress hooks for customization.
  • Allows access to form field values by referencing the field name.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin's flexibility for creating and fully customizing HTML forms, its lightweight nature, and the good performance it ensures by not loading unnecessary scripts. It allows integration with themes and frameworks like Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS, making it versatile for developers keen on controlling form aesthetics and functionality. Users commend its excellent support and ease of use, with features like AJAX submission, multiple email notifications, and conditional fields. However, some drawbacks include limited community support compared to more popular plugins, issues with PHP8 causing redirect loops, and the necessity to have basic HTML knowledge to fully leverage its features.

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!
