AI summary of the plugin's readme

Visual drag-and-drop form builder
Auto-generated form pages with slugs
Shortcode and Gutenberg block embedding
Signed webhooks with retry logic
Export submissions as XLSX
Backup and restore as JSON
Event registration with limits and dates
Built-in honeypot and rate limiting

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. The plugin makes no outbound requests of its own: no analytics, no license checks, no telemetry, and no remotely hosted fonts or scripts. The only outbound request it can ever make is to the webhook URL you configure yourself, and only if you configure one.

Yes. Use the [localform id="123"] shortcode (or [localform slug="my-event"]), or add the LocalForm block in the block editor. The auto-generated form page keeps working alongside embeds.

Yes. Each form can email the site admin on every registration and send the registrant a confirmation email. The confirmation subject and message support placeholders such as {form_title}, {event_date}, and any field name in braces.

Yes. Set a maximum number of registrations and/or an open and close date-time per form. When the form is full or closed, visitors see a configurable message instead of the form. The capacity limit requires "Save submissions in WordPress" to be enabled.

Yes. Each form has a setting to use the active theme's page template instead of the built-in fullscreen template.

By default, yes. You can enable "Webhook-only mode" on a per-form basis to skip saving submissions and send data only to the webhook.

Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC-SHA256 using the secret key configured in the form or default settings.

LocalForm includes an invisible honeypot field, IP-based rate limiting, and duplicate-submission protection. All three can be configured under Forms > Settings > Security.

Deactivating LocalForm never touches your data. Deleting it removes everything by default: the forms, submissions and webhook log tables are dropped and the plugin's options are deleted. If you want that data to survive a delete, enable "Keep my data when the plugin is deleted" under Forms > Settings > Data before removing the plugin.

Yes. Forms > Settings > Data has a Backup & Restore card. "Download backup" gives you a single JSON file containing every form, its submissions and your plugin settings, and the restore form on the same screen reads that file back. Because forms are re-created through the normal validation path rather than by copying database rows, a backup restores onto a different site just as well as onto the one it came from. Webhook logs are not included.
