Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about LocalForm – Form Builder for Contact Forms, Surveys & Event Registration

Yes. Forms > Import reads the forms Contact Form 7 and WPForms have on your site - neither plugin needs to still be active, since their forms stay in the database after they are switched off - and rebuilds a Google Form from its share link. The questions come across; the responses the old form already collected stay where they are, so export them from the old plugin if you need to keep them. Every imported form arrives as a draft, with a report listing anything that could not be brought across - a file upload question, a Google Forms grid - so you can add it by hand before publishing.

No. There is no sign-up, no license key and no trial. Install the plugin and everything described here works straight away, with no limit on the number of forms or submissions.

Yes - LocalForm Pro, a separate add-on sold at localform.dev. Nothing in the free plugin is limited, gated or timed to push you towards it: no submission cap, no form cap, no trial and no license key, and that is not going to change. Pro is for sites that need things the free plugin deliberately does not do - taking payment for a registration through Stripe, Mollie or a WooCommerce shop the site already runs, adding whoever ticked your newsletter box to Flexmail, Brevo, MailerLite or Mailchimp, showing a question only when another answer matches a rule, several dates or several price tiers on one event, file uploads, a "Build with AI" panel inside the admin, Elementor widgets, and a set of webhook and field-naming controls for wiring forms into another system. The full list is under "LocalForm Pro" in the description above, and the documentation is at docs.localform.dev.

Once, and only if you want it to. After your site has collected 25 responses, LocalForm asks on its own screens whether you would leave a review - with "Not now" and "Don't ask again" next to it, both remembered. Untick "Ask for a review on WordPress.org" under Settings > General and it never asks. Nothing else in the plugin interrupts you, and nothing is reported back to us either way.

Not unless you ask it to. There is a "Credit LocalForm under my forms" tick box under Settings > General, off unless you switch it on, which adds a small "Powered by LocalForm" line below your forms. Leave it alone and your visitors never see our name anywhere. If you do switch it on, the link carries nothing about your site and nobody who follows it is reported back to you or to us.

That is what it is built for. If you are used to Google Forms, Microsoft Forms or a similar service, you will recognise the way LocalForm works: add your questions, publish, share the link, and read the answers back as a summary. The differences are that the form sits on your own domain and carries your own branding, the responses are stored on your site rather than in someone else's account, and your visitors are not sent to a third-party page to answer. LocalForm is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any of those services.

Yes, with LocalForm Pro - Flexmail, Brevo, MailerLite and Mailchimp are all supported. You connect the service once, point a form at one of your lists, and name the tick box on the form that has to be ticked first: consent is a question your visitor answers, not a setting you switch on for them. Somebody who did not tick it is not subscribed, and somebody who unsubscribed from your list earlier is not quietly put back on it. The free plugin sends nothing anywhere on its own. If you want to wire responses into a mailing list yourself, the free plugin's webhook will post every submission to an automation tool such as Zapier, Make, n8n or Power Automate, and you can add the subscriber from there.

Yes, and there is nothing to switch on. Add a section title where you want a break, and every question after it becomes the next step: the form then shows one step at a time, with a progress bar, a "Step 2 of 4" counter and Back and Next buttons. A form with no section titles stays a single page. Answers are only sent when the last step is submitted.

Yes. Give the form an event date under Settings > Event, then tick "Attach a calendar invitation (.ics)" under Email Notifications. Every registrant's confirmation email arrives with a calendar file holding the date, time, location and organizer, which Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and the rest add with a tap. A form without an event date sends the confirmation as before, with nothing attached.

Both. For a poll, a single Single Choice or Checkbox question works well, and the Responses summary gives you counts and a bar chart per option without any extra setup. For a quiz, switch on Quiz under the form's Settings and give the questions an answer key: tick the correct options, or type the answers you accept. Every response is then scored, with your own points per question and an optional pass mark, and the person answering can be shown their score, which questions they got right, the correct answer where they did not, and a sentence of explanation you wrote. Single choice, dropdown, checkbox, short text and number questions can all be marked; leave a question without an answer key and it is asked but not scored.
