Tired of hitting a paywall the moment your form needs to do something useful?

Most WordPress form plugins hand you a free builder, then gate everything that
matters. The big-name form plugins put conditional logic, entry storage, and
Stripe behind plans that start around $200 and renew even higher. You end up
paying hundreds a year just to run a contact form.
Trinity Forms ships the whole builder for free — a drag-and-drop form builder with
conditional logic, native entry storage, CSV export, email notifications, and
spam protection, with no submission caps and no phone-home. Payments and
integrations are Pro, from $49/year, only when you actually need them.
It's built for the WordPress shops that ship things: agencies, freelancers,
membership sites, donation pages, course creators, and local businesses that want
a real form tool without the renewal shock.
What you can do today (free version)
- Build forms two ways — a dedicated drag-and-drop Visual Builder where you drop fields into place, reorder, undo/redo and start from 12 ready-made templates, or the Gutenberg block editor you already know. New forms open in the builder; either editor can be used on any form.
- 20 field types — text, email, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, number, range slider, name, phone, address, country, date, time, hidden, HTML, page break, section, rating, consent.
- Conditional logic — show, hide, and skip fields based on prior answers, with all-of / any-of matching and eight operators. Uncapped.
- Native entry storage in your own WordPress database, with a searchable admin Entries list and per-entry detail view.
- CSV export of all your submissions.
- Results report — turn any form into a survey or poll with per-option counts, percentages, and averages; plus quiz scoring with {quiz_score} / {quiz_max} merge tags.
- Email notifications with merge tags.
- Spam protection — honeypot, time-trap, and your pick of Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA (v2 and invisible v3), or hCaptcha, plus optional Akismet.
- Per-form and global data retention controls, plus GDPR export/erase built into WordPress' own Personal Data tools.
- Form analytics — a views → submissions funnel with completion rate, per form.
- Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions.
- Payments — Stripe, PayPal, and Mollie. Hosted Checkout keeps your site PCI out-of-scope, and forms keep collecting payments for 15 days after a license lapses.
- CRM & marketing integrations — automatically send submissions to popular email-marketing, CRM, chat, spreadsheet, and automation tools, plus a generic HMAC-signed webhook.
- AI form generator — describe a form and it builds the fields, using your own OpenAI or Anthropic key (no per-request markup).
- Guided mode — an optional one-question-at-a-time flow with a progress bar.
- Advanced fields — file upload, signature, repeater, and calculation.
- Save & resume for partial submissions, and PDF export of submissions.
- Entry → post/CPT creation and a front-end submissions table.
- Conditional logic, native entry storage, and CSV export — free.
- No submission caps, ever — free.
- Payments (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie) — Pro, from $49/year flat, not bundled into a $200–$400/year plan.
- Renewal price is the same as year one. No "introductory pricing" trap.
安装:
- Upload the plugin or install it from WordPress.org.
- Activate it through the Plugins screen.
- Go to Forms > Add New to build your first form.
- Embed it with the
[trinity-forms id="123"]shortcode or the Trinity Forms block.

常见问题:
Are there any submission limits?
No. The free plugin stores unlimited submissions in your WordPress database.
Does it phone home or require an account?
No account, and nothing is contacted by default. The only optional external call is the anti-spam CAPTCHA (Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA v2, or hCaptcha), which runs solely when you enable it and enter your own provider keys. See "External services" below.
What happens to my data if I uninstall or my Pro license expires?
Your data is preserved by default. Deactivating or deleting the plugin keeps your forms and entries — nothing is wiped unless you explicitly turn on "Delete all Trinity Forms data when the plugin is deleted" under Trinity Forms Settings, in which case data is removed only when you delete the plugin. A lapsed Pro license simply disables premium features (payments, file uploads, integrations, and so on) and the plugin behaves like the free tier — it never deletes any data. Renewing your license restores access to those features.
Which editor do forms open in?
New forms open in the drag-and-drop Visual Builder. Forms you built before upgrading keep opening in the block editor, so an upgrade never moves your existing work — change them individually, or switch the site default under Forms → Settings → "Open forms in". Both editors read and write the same form, so you can switch either way at any time, per form.
What spam protection is included, and is it free?
All of it is free: a honeypot, a time-trap, and your choice of Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA v2, invisible reCAPTCHA v3, or hCaptcha — plus Akismet if you have it configured. See "External services" below for what each CAPTCHA provider receives.
Do you have other plugins that work with this?
Yes — Trinity Forms is one of three JnK Plugins:
- JnK Linkweave — server-side internal linking suggestions.
- Trinity Forms — flat-priced form builder with Stripe.
- EntryVault — Kanban CRM for form submissions.
更新日志:
2.2.1
- Fixed: notifications and other per-form settings saved in the block editor were silently discarded. Any form set to open in the visual builder — which is every form created since 2.1 — bounced the block editor's save to the builder before it ran, so the settings looked saved and were not. This is why submissions were being stored while no email ever arrived.
- New: a new form now starts with an admin notification already filled in, so a form emails someone from the moment it is published.
- New: a Notifications button in the visual builder, which had no way to reach them at all.
- Fixed: checkbox and radio options inherited their spacing from the theme, which on some themes meant double-spaced options that no amount of editor styling would change. Both now carry sensible spacing of their own, and consent text is no longer bold.
- Fixed: the plugin reported its version as 2.1.0 on Site Health and support screens no matter which version was installed.
- New: a short getting-started card on the Entries screen while you have not built a form yet, so a fresh install points somewhere instead of showing an empty table and empty filters.
- Improved: "No entries yet." now tells you what to do next rather than ending the road there.
- Improved: the form editor carries one plain line describing what Pro adds, where you are already choosing fields. No locked controls, no banners, nothing disabled — the free build still shows no teaser UI.
- Changed: new forms now open in the drag-and-drop Visual Builder instead of the block editor. Forms you built before upgrading are left exactly where they were and keep opening in the block editor — upgrading never moves your existing work. Change any form individually, or set the site default under Forms → Settings → "Open forms in".
- Fixed: choosing "Block editor" as the site default used to hide the very setting you needed to switch back.
- Improved: the entries list colour-codes the Status and Payment columns, so a refund or an unpaid registration stands out instead of reading as one more lowercase word. The single-entry view matches.
- Improved: the Visual Builder's field settings panel now has proper spacing — labels sit above their inputs, help text belongs to the field it describes, and the Required toggle reads as its own setting rather than being crammed against the field above it.
- Fixed: the "Allow save & continue later" option no longer appears in the form editor on the free plan — it required Trinity Forms Pro and had no effect without it.
- New: Visual Builder — an opt-in drag-and-drop form canvas. Turn it on under Forms → Settings → "Open forms in" → Visual builder. Drag field types from the palette to place them exactly where you want, reorder by dragging, undo/redo, edit the form title inline, and start from any of the 12 built-in templates without leaving the builder. The block editor stays the default and is always available; the builder reads and writes the same form, so you can switch either way.
- Fixed: entry-retention cleanup now removes each expired submission's stored files and field data (previously the daily cleanup could leave uploaded files and metadata behind).
- Fixed: a form field whose ID matched a reserved merge tag (for example {site_url}) can no longer override that tag in notification emails.
- New: a Feedback & Support page under the Forms menu to send the plugin author a message (with optional site info) straight from your dashboard.
- Fixed: major bug fix in conditional logic. Every field type now has a "Conditional logic" panel in the block editor — show or hide a field when other fields match rules you choose.
- New: format validation — text, textarea, email and phone fields accept a regular expression pattern with a custom error message.
- Fixed: form updates made over the REST API are now validated, so an incomplete request can no longer overwrite a form's fields.
- New: GDPR tools — Trinity Forms submissions are now included in WordPress' Export and Erase Personal Data requests (Tools → Export/Erase Personal Data), matched by the submitter's email.
- New: Form analytics — a views → submissions funnel with a completion rate, shown per form on the Forms list.
- New: Akismet spam protection — when Akismet is configured, submissions are checked against it automatically.
- New: Google reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible, score-based) joins Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v2 and hCaptcha as a spam-protection option.
- New: "My submissions" — add the [trinity_forms_my_submissions] shortcode to any page to show logged-in visitors a list of their own past submissions.
- New (Pro): create a WordPress post or custom-post-type entry automatically from each submission, and design a custom PDF template.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release deepens Pro-only payments (recurring billing, coupon codes, and the Mollie gateway); the free tier is unchanged.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release adds Pro-only native integrations and hardens credential encryption; the free tier is unchanged.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release adds a Pro-only conversational (one-question-at-a-time) render mode; the free tier is unchanged.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release adds a Pro-only AI form assistant (bring your own API key); the free tier is unchanged.
- Improved: consistent author branding and new Settings, Upgrade, Docs and Support links on the Plugins screen. No functional changes.
- Maintenance and compatibility. The free tier is unchanged.
- Fixed: front-end form submission could fail — a leftover identifier from an earlier plugin rename made the front-end script error, so forms fell back to a non-AJAX POST that was rejected. Submissions now work reliably.
- Fixed: composite fields (Name, Address) did not submit their values because the client did not serialize their sub-fields. Now fixed.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release adds Pro-only PDF export and a filterable front-end submissions view; the free tier is unchanged.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release adds Pro-only integrations and spreadsheet export; the free tier is unchanged.
- Maintenance and compatibility. This release adds a Pro-only calculation field; the free tier is unchanged.
- New: Results report — Trinity Forms → Results aggregates any form's choice (radio/select/checkbox) and rating/range/number responses into per-option counts, percentages and averages, turning any form into a survey or poll with instant analytics.
- New: Quiz scoring — set a correct answer + points on radio/select fields and each submission is scored automatically, with {quiz_score} and {quiz_max} merge tags for confirmations and notifications.
- New: Google reCAPTCHA v2 and hCaptcha are now supported for spam protection alongside Cloudflare Turnstile — choose your provider and enter its keys under Trinity Forms → Settings, then enable the challenge per form.
- New: five field types — Range slider, Name, Phone (with optional international validation), Address, and Country (full ISO list) — all free.
- New: a starter template library — 12 ready-made forms (contact, quote, event, appointment, RSVP, newsletter, support, feedback, job application, order, volunteer, testimonial) under Trinity Forms → Templates. Pick one to create an instantly-editable form.
- Improved WordPress.org listing discoverability (expanded tags, clearer contact form / form builder description). No functional changes.
- Fixed: the "Upgrade to Pro" and "Feedback/Docs" admin screens linked to a retired domain and would 404. Both now point at the current site.
- Hardened for the WordPress.org review: enqueued the form-editor CSS/JS, tightened input sanitization and file-upload handling, restricted management endpoints to administrators, and documented the block build.
- Changed: minimum supported PHP is now 8.2 (8.1 reached end-of-life).
- Fixed: entries CSV export downloaded an unusable, double-encoded file — it now exports a proper CSV.
- Hardened: output escaping, internationalization comments and file-handling for the WordPress.org plugin review.
- Initial release.
- Feedback & Support form (sends to the author via your site email).
