BoldForm – Drag & Drop Form Builder

BoldForm Lite is a powerful yet lightweight form builder for WordPress. Build any kind of form using a visual drag-and-drop editor, embed it anywhere with a shortcode, Gutenberg block, or Elementor widget, and manage every submission right inside your WordPress dashboard. Whether you need a simple contact form, a multi-field registration form, or a survey with conditional logic — BoldForm Lite has you covered with zero bloat.

Core Features Drag & Drop Form Builder Build forms visually without writing a single line of code. Drag fields from the sidebar, reorder them, and configure each one instantly. AJAX Form Submission Forms submit without a full page reload, giving visitors a smooth, fast experience. Entries Management Every submission is stored in your WordPress database. View, filter, read, and delete entries from the BoldForm > Entries page. Mark entries as read, unread, or spam. Email Notifications Automatically send an admin notification on every submission. Configure a custom "From" name, reply-to address, subject, and message body. Test email delivery directly from the settings panel. Reports & Analytics A built-in reports dashboard shows total forms, total entries, and per-form performance stats using the browser's native HTML5 Canvas chart — no external library required. Export & Import Export all forms, a single form with its entries, or global settings as a JSON file. Import everything back with one click — great for moving between environments. Multi-Step Forms Divide long forms into steps using the Section Break field. Display a progress bar, step indicators, or headings. Fully style the Next/Previous buttons and progress colors. Conditional Logic Show or hide any field based on the visitor's previous answers. Supports AND/OR logic rules per field. Form Templates Start from a pre-built template instead of a blank form. Pick a template during form creation and customise from there. Translation Ready All strings are internationalised using the boldform-lite text domain, ready for translation with any standard WordPress translation workflow. Multisite Compatible Tables are created automatically for each new subsite when the plugin is network-activated. Form Fields Standard Fields
