Description

Form Plant is a WordPress form plugin that includes a confirmation screen, submission data storage, and CSV export as standard features — no add-ons required.

Why Form Plant?

  • CSV export — Download submission data anytime for reporting or backup.
  • Embed on external sites — Display your forms on any website via iframe or JavaScript snippet, not just within WordPress.
  • Quick setup — An intuitive modal UI lets you build forms without touching code.
  • Flexible customization — Custom HTML templates, validation messages, and post-submission actions give you full control when you need it.
