Why choose Formidable Forms in 2022? Because our progress has been as powerful and flexible as our WordPress forms. Check out the best features we released this past year!
2021 New Features and Updates
We've worked hard this year to keep up with all our amazing users and are thrilled to show you what we've accomplished to help you grow your business and make it perform better than ever!
Ready to go through a list of our most awesome new features?
Easy drag and drop side-by-side fields
With this new feature, you can drag-and-drop form fields wherever you need, whether it’s in multiple columns or just one! This is great for quote request forms, online job application forms, or anything else that requires a lot of organization and easy navigation.
It's even great for making small contact forms and signup forms even more compact. Now you can see what you'll get when building multi-column forms!
Visual Views for custom applications
Formidable Views was already a popular way to turn forms into front-end-facing data on WordPress websites. But this year we completely overhauled it from an HTML-based format to a sleek and easy-to-use view builder.
With additions like a drag-and-drop table creator, and an easy way to show entries in grids, you can see your data come to life without any code.
This makes building web apps far faster and easier, so you can take on more projects.
High-converting Conversational Forms
With the highly-demanded Conversational Forms feature, any form can become a question-by-question walk-through, that leads users gently through the process.
With sleek front-end conversational form designs, you can keep your elegant theme and track progress through the questions with a sleek progress bar! You can even move users automatically through the pages each time an option is selected in a field.
And the best thing of all? It's much faster than a multi-page form. With this new form-building feature, you don't have to add page breaks everywhere you want them. Simply add the form fields, and we take care of the rest!
Now you have a powerful Typeform alternative without the high prices.
Distraction-free form landing pages
With Form Landing Pages, you can turn any form into a distraction-free landing page with a few simple clicks. Give your favorite lead generation pages the full attention they deserve with classic, card, or right and left style landing pages with one of our no-code templates!
When used with Conversational Forms, you get a winning combination.
Powerful and easy surveys
We added a lot of survey features, including button options, Likert Scales, and Net Promoter Score fields. These new fields will have your surveys performing optimally while looking just the way you want them.
Plus, each of these fields include easy graphs to calculate NPS scores and see results at a glance.
Attach a CSV to email notifications
With this new feature, a simple toggle makes it possible to send a CSV export of each completed form submission to whatever email you’d like, including the user who completed it.
No more wasting time exporting and importing files or manually running workflows. We do the work for you.
Extra spam protection methods
We managed to slip in more out-of-the-box spam-protection improvements. With customizable ReCAPTCHA v3 thresholds and the ability to add a unique, recycling JavaScript token, your form submissions will be clean and your spam box empty!
Highly flexible View filtering
Filter your Views with more flexibility than ever. Now you have multiple and/or statements so you can get exactly the data you need when you need it.
Awesome new video tutorials
This past year, we've gone all-in with our YouTube channel and have earned nearly 1,500 subscribers so far. With a fabulous Video Educator on our team, we've been able to start delivering the tutorials you've been waiting for.
We also recently started an Instagram page if you prefer bite-sized news.
But most of all, we know we would be nothing without you! So thank you to our amazing community!
And be sure to check out the other amazing ways we're celebrating our 12th anniversary this week!

I've been in the WordPress scene for a long time and have realized that FF seems to offer a lot more than some the other competitors out there. Color me intrigued.

Haha...we are much better at building awesome features than we are at marketing and communicating those features. Formidable Forms is by far the most advanced and flexible form builder. But it also does so much more than forms. We have customers using it as a total database management system within WordPress. Hope you check it out and love it as much as we do.

As a web developer you're always looking for the right tools for the job... and I can't think of another WordPress plugin that I've used more, in the past 10+ years, than Formidable Forms. It's my first install when I start a new project. Sure, you can use it to create and manage basic contact forms... but there's so much more you can build with this plugin. When you combine the data collection with custom output, using "views", you can achieve limitless options. I've used Formidable Forms in so many different ways (content management, member management, insurance pricing, inventory management, marketing portals, manufacturing estimator). I can't recommend Stephanie and her Formidable Forms team enough. Thank you for creating such a good product, and continuing with development over the past 12 years. I really appreciate it.
