How to Create an AI-Generated Quiz in WordPress

When it comes to creating a quiz, it can be difficult to set up 20+ questions from scratch, and somewhere around question 9 you start second-guessing the whole endeavor.

That's where an AI quiz generator earns its keep. You describe the quiz you want, the AI drafts the questions, the choices, the scoring, and you spend your time reviewing instead of writing.

The catch with most options I've tried is that they ask you to bring an OpenAI API key, manage credits, and stitch the quiz output back into your site yourself.

The approach I'll walk you through here uses WPForms, which has the AI builder and the quiz engine built into the same plugin. There's no API key to set up or credits to manage.

A Beginner’s Guide to Form Conversion Optimization

Most site owners spend months worrying about traffic, but when the traffic actually arrives, the contact form sits there, and the leads never show up.

After working on a lot of WordPress forms, for my own projects and for clients, I've found the form itself is almost always what's holding things back.

Small changes to how your form looks, asks, and follows up can move a 2 percent conversion rate into double digits, and you don't need a CRO specialist to pull it off.

In this beginner's guide, you'll learn what form conversion optimization actually is, why most forms quietly lose leads, and the five practical pillars you can use to start fixing yours today.

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.
