TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners, developers, and theme developers who want to build forms using their own HTML rather than a drag-and-drop builder. It solves the problem of form builders being slow and overly complicated by letting users write their own form field HTML while the plugin handles submission processing, data storage, and configurable actions.

  • Automatic submission saving to database
  • Configurable form actions on submit
  • Email notification action
  • Mailchimp subscription action
  • Access field values via placeholders
  • Redirect or hide form after submission
  • Configurable and translatable form messages
  • Field validation
