How to Use WordPress Form Abandonment Recovery to Save Leads

Someone lands on your website, finds your contact form, and starts typing their name into the first field. Then their phone buzzes, or their boss pings them, or they just close the tab thinking they'll come back later.

Studies show that over 80% of people who start filling out a form never submit it. That's traffic and interest lost because there was no way to capture what they'd already typed.

The good news is that WPForms has a way to capture that data before it disappears. The Form Abandonment addon saves partial entries in real time. Follow the steps in this guide to set it up!

How to Accept PayPal Payments in WordPress for Free

If you've been searching for a way to accept PayPal payments on your WordPress site, you've probably noticed that most guides point you toward WooCommerce or an expensive plugin.

The good news is WPForms Lite now includes PayPal Commerce as a built-in feature. It's a free plugin, and you can use it to collect one-time or recurring PayPal payments directly through your WordPress forms.

I'll walk you through the full setup in this guide. From plugin install to a live payment form, the whole thing takes about 10 minutes.

11 Reasons to Switch From Contact Form 7 to WPForms

Contact Form 7 just announced a feature freeze. At a recent WordCamp event, the CF7 team confirmed that version 6.2 will be the final major update. After that, the plugin will only receive bug fixes and security patches. The developer explicitly stated they're moving on to the next project.

If you're one of the 10 million+ site owners running CF7, your first thought is probably "my forms work fine, so why should I care?" That's fair. But a plugin in feature freeze isn't just missing new features. It's a plugin that will slowly fall behind as WordPress itself keeps evolving.

I've been watching CF7's development pace slow down for a while now, and this announcement confirms what many of us suspected. The good news is that switching is faster and easier than you'd expect, and there's a free alternative that already does more than CF7 ever did.

How to Create a Multi-Location WordPress Booking Form

Managing bookings across multiple locations can be a nightmare without the right tools, especially when customers need to see where you're located before they book.

With WPForms and the Geolocation addon, you can create a multi location booking form WordPress that displays all your locations on an interactive map and lets visitors pick their preferred spot.

This guide walks you through building a booking form that shows multiple offices, service centers, or event venues on a single map, making it easy for customers to find and book at their nearest location.

How to Create a Weighted Quiz in WordPress

Have you ever taken a quiz where some questions just felt more important than others? That's the idea behind weighted quizzes, which assigns different point values based on how much each question matters.

This lets you measure things like preferences, priorities, or tendencies with way more accuracy than a standard quiz. However, most quiz plugins force you into rigid formats like personality types or pass/fail grading.

With WPForms’ Quiz addon, you don't have to worry about this at all. You just set your point values, and the plugin does the rest automatically. Let me show you exactly how to set one up.

How to Create a Graded Quiz in WordPress

Need to test someone's knowledge? Graded quizzes give you a simple way to see who understands the material and who needs more help!

The problem is, building a quiz from scratch means figuring out scoring logic, setting up answer validation, and designing a results page. That's a lot of work before you even write your first question.

With WPForms' Quiz addon, you can skip all that. It handles the scoring, shows correct answers, and generates grade reports automatically. Let me show you exactly how to set one up.
