For the full FAQ, see [cimatti.it/en/wordpress-plugins/contact-forms/faq](https://www.cimatti.it/en/wordpress-plugins/contact-forms/faq/). ### How do I create a form? Go to Contact Forms > Forms. Drag fields into your form, configure each one, click Save, then embed in any page. ### How do I embed a form in a page? In the block editor, add the «Contact Form» block. In the classic editor, click the «C» button. Or copy the shortcode from the form list. ### Does the plugin store form submissions? Yes. Every submission is stored in your WordPress database, searchable and exportable to Excel from Contact Forms > Submissions. ### Is the plugin accessible? Yes. Version 2.0 targets WCAG 2.2 AA and European Accessibility Act requirements. All elements include ARIA attributes, errors use role=»alert», and the validation summary links directly to each field. ### Does it work with page caching plugins? Yes. If the nonce expires, the plugin retries before falling back to a standard POST submission. ### How does data retention work? Set a data retention policy (days, months, or years) and choose anonymization or deletion. Each form can override the global setting. Expired submissions are cleaned up via WP-Cron. ### How do I protect my forms from spam? Drag a Captcha field into your form. With reCAPTCHA v2 keys configured in Settings, it uses Google reCAPTCHA. Without keys, it falls back to a math captcha. You can also use Cloudflare Turnstile via the Simple Cloudflare Turnstile plugin. ### Does it support the block editor (Gutenberg)? Yes. Search for «Contact Form» in the block inserter and select your form. ### Can I change the form language? Available in English, Italian, and Spanish. WPML supported. To show a form in another language, duplicate it and override the field labels. ### What file types can visitors upload? Defaults include pdf, doc/docx, xls/xlsx, ppt/pptx, odt, txt, csv, jpg, png, gif, webp, svg, zip, rar, and more. Customizable per field. ### Can I anonymize submitted data for GDPR? Yes. Anonymize individual submissions or in bulk. Personal data is replaced with placeholders while keeping the record for statistics. WordPress Privacy API exporter and eraser are also integrated. ## Omtalar ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/193d0b78d53bc8c5c37eea634be21522d2bc158eda840a6fb40d6d3f68204242? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-33164/)󠁿 [artoskogman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/artoskogman/) 21. januar 2022 Very easy to use, fast and good support.

Latest release has broken the plugin and now won’t display any forms. very disappointed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/57f28e2341e59635decac0c2ac8e6e07c51e9f7295c1d0f2d4b7338b724ea3bd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy forms with a lot of possibilities](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-forms-with-a-lot-of-possibilities/)󠁿 [limearts](https://profiles.wordpress.org/limearts/) 13. september 2016 This plugin is in use since almost two years. It’s a great form builder with a lot of customisation. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8eb305aefc4eb2f46b1650ade342ff7a659731c1f796c378aa9be8e0513f4868? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-10145/)󠁿 [TJ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/certifiedlunasea/) 3. september 2016 Does everything I needed, and then some. The only improvement I could really go for is the ability to use the timezone that is set in WordPress to record dates and times of submissions. I was able to edit the plugin for my needs, at least until the plugin receives an update. Excellent work otherwise and well worth the 5 star rating. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/260d1a38999d2366e84d074322f30cfb1d4e6a2fa65bfcfa3ac1f9d48553d209? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[My favourite Form-Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-favourite-form-plugin/)󠁿 [achtl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/achtl/) 21. desember 2016 Really nice Form-Plugin!

This one is my favorite. It doesn’t bother you with ugly pre-installed layouts, but offers a lot of options to configure just the form you need. The customizable notifications leave no wish unfulfilled. Well thought out. Thank you for the good work!
