Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sobi Forms

On pages without a form, Sobi Forms adds no front-end CSS or JavaScript. On pages with a form, only a small vanilla JS file and a minimal stylesheet are loaded (~3.7 KB gzipped combined; ~13.3 KB unminified) - no React or heavy libraries on the public site.

The admin builder (~97 KB minified script, ~27 KB gzipped transfer, plus WordPress-bundled React via wp-element) loads only on Sobi Forms -> Forms -> Edit. It never runs on the front-end.

Yes. Use [sobiforms id="3"] or [sobiforms slug="your-form"], or the Gutenberg block. Assets load when the form HTML is rendered.

No. Choose email notifications, Save to database, or both in the form editor’s settings sidebar. New forms default to inbox storage; turn off Save to database if you only want email.

No. Sobi Forms uses a honeypot, WordPress nonces, and rate limiting. reCAPTCHA is intentionally out of scope to keep the plugin lightweight.

Yes. When the Akismet plugin is installed and configured, enable Use Akismet to filter form spam under Sobi Forms → Resources → Usage (on by default). Spam submissions are quarantined in the Submissions inbox, notification emails are skipped, and visitors still see a normal success message.

Yes. In the settings sidebar under Availability, pause submissions immediately or set a Schedule close date (your site timezone). Visitors see your unavailable message instead of the form. Cached pages may still show an open form until the cache refreshes.

Yes. Use the sobiforms_enqueue_front_assets filter to disable CSS while keeping AJAX submission.
