Overview

Pirate Forms was a straightforward WordPress contact form plugin designed for ease of use, allowing users to add a simple contact form to their website via shortcode or widget. It featured basic customization options, reCaptcha for spam protection, basic SMTP settings to ensure reliable email delivery, and the ability to store contacts in a database. However, as of September 2018, Pirate Forms was acquired by WPForms, which offers a more robust and user-friendly experience with advanced features such as unlimited forms, email marketing and payment integrations, surveys & polls add-ons, conditional logic, and more. Pirate Forms is now retired in favor of WPForms, which provides a more modern and powerful form-building solution. Users are encouraged to transition to WPForms for a superior user experience and enhanced capabilities.

User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate the Pirate Forms plugin for its simplicity, ease of use, and easy setup process. It effectively facilitates the creation and implementation of contact forms on WordPress websites, making it suitable for both beginners and professionals. Users also like its compatibility with various themes, intuitive design, and features like Google Captcha integration and SMTP support. However, some users experienced issues with email notifications not being sent, and the plugin's support service was often unresponsive. Additionally, the transition to WPForms and the deactivation of the pro version disappointed many users, who found the new plugin clunky and filled with frequent upgrade prompts. There are also concerns about the plugin not updating to meet newer requirements, like GDPR compliance.

About a month ago, contact form entries stopped coming in via email and I just checked the system and it displayed “Mail sending failed! (Could not instantiate mail function.)” in the Mail Status page on ‘edit.php?post_type=pf_contact’ I haven’t changed any settings and wasn’t sure of where I could get any support from so I can keep using it. Thanks, Luke

This is a great little add-on to get feedback, or other sorts of forms to your WordPress based sites.
