Core Forms

The WordPress Form Plugin That Ships Every Premium Feature in One Box

Tired of form plugins that nickel-and-dime you with expensive add-ons just to get basic features like payments, file uploads, or proper spam protection? Meet Core Forms — a powerful, lightweight, and developer-friendly WordPress form builder that includes everything you need right out of the box.

Why Core Forms Stands Out

• • No add-on tax: Unlimited sites, every premium feature included — one license, one payment. Choose $59/year or $249 lifetime.
  • Battle-tested & indie-built: Developed by an experienced WordPress developer with a focus on performance and clean code. Now publicly available after years of client use.

Key Features of Core Forms

• • Flexible Building: Drag-and-drop visual builder or write your own clean HTML (what you ship is what you get).
  • 18 Accessible Starter Templates: Contact, newsletter, RSVP, booking, lead capture, and six payment-ready templates — launch in under a minute.
  • AJAX Submissions & Fullscreen Mode: Smooth, no-reload experiences (Typeform-style one-question-at-a-time with progress bar).
  • Advanced Logic: Conditional fields/actions, data variables (user data, post info, URL params), and save and resume drafts.
  • File Uploads: Built-in with per-field limits, allowed types, and storage controls.
  • Spam Protection: reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, Akismet, honeypot, math captcha — mix & match.
  • Submissions Management: Full inbox with search, reply, archive, CSV export, and email logs.
  • Payments on Submission: Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Polar, and seamless FluentCart handoff for products/subscriptions. Webhook-verified for reliability.
  • Integrations Galore: Mailchimp, MailerPress, FluentCRM, HubSpot, ConvertKit, Slack, Discord, Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, and 25+ more — plus full webhooks and REST API.
  • Headless Ready: Render & submit forms from Astro, Next.js, or any frontend via REST API + drop-in widget.
  • Developer & Accessibility First: Gutenberg block, shortcodes, WCAG 2.2 compliant, form scheduling, rate limiting, create posts/users, ACF integration, and more.

Core Forms feels like a native part of WordPress — no bloat, no unfamiliar dashboards, just fast, honest tooling that gets out of your way. Whether you're building client sites, running lead gen, collecting payments, or embedding forms in headless setups, Core Forms has you covered without the upsells.
