Allowing users to upload files through your online forms can be incredibly useful for job applications, support tickets, or document submissions. However, it can also be a risky business... Improper handling of file uploads could invite malware infections, unauthorized access, and server vulnerabilities without you realizing it.
So, do you want to protect yourself before you wreck yourself? Keep reading to discover our top tips for file upload security with your online forms.
So you're building a complex form full of conditional logic and other bells and whistles, beautifully organized in your chosen layout when suddenly — you delete something by mistake.
Never fear! WPForms offers a Form Revisions feature where you can revert to earlier versions of your forms with just a few clicks.
Sending appointment reminders via email or SMS is easier than ever with WPForms and the Twilio addon. You might be confirming an appointment, sending a friendly reminder, or even following up with last-minute details.
Whatever the case may be, these automated messages guarantee smooth communication.
Do you want to engage leads and customers after they submit a form on your website? A follow-up email is an effective way to do it. Especially when that follow-up email includes a survey or some other feedback loop.
But can you automate this follow-up email process? Absolutely! And what about delaying these follow-up emails by a few days? That's no problem either.
WPForms coupled with Uncanny Automator is your solution for automating this entire process without writing a single line of code.
The weekly summary WPForms emails you now opens with stat tiles for entries, views, and spam, each marked with how it moved against the previous week.
Beneath them, a table gives every form its own line, and when the data earns it the headline changes to call out a best week, a milestone, or a form that has gone quiet.
A single button takes you from the email back into WPForms, so the thing worth checking is one click away.
The Paystack addon brings card, bank transfer, and mobile money payments to your forms for buyers in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya.
Buyers click submit and pay in the Paystack popup in naira, cedis, rand, or Kenyan shillings, with no new field to add to your form.
Bank transfer and mobile money payments are saved as Pending, and WPForms can hold your notification emails until Paystack confirms the payment, then completes the order on its own.
Every Paystack payment shows up in WPForms » Payments, and full refunds can be issued without leaving WordPress.
The WPForms Dashboard is a new home screen that opens the moment you click WPForms in your admin menu. Stat cards across the top total up your forms, entries, payments, views, and spam across the whole site.
An Entries widget charts activity over your chosen date range with a per-form table of entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate, and a payments widget totals everything collected once a gateway is connected.
With the Geolocation addon active, Top Locations ranks the countries your visitors come from, and a Suggested Next Steps panel points to features worth turning on.
Nothing to install, as it comes with every plan, including Lite!
Every form now has its own built-in QR code generator, with nothing extra to install or buy.
Open a form’s General settings, choose the page the form lives on or paste its URL, and click Generate QR Code to copy it or download it as a PNG or a print-ready SVG.
Put it on menus, packaging, event badges, or business cards, and every scan opens your form instead of a page that only hands people something to read.
Included with every plan, including Lite; Pro and Elite plans can keep, remove, or replace the WPForms logo in the center with their own.
Instead of scoring each option separately, respondents drag options (or tap arrow buttons on a phone) into the order they prefer, so one option always has to come first.
WPForms tallies every response into a “Times at #1” count and an average rank for each option, with a chart that makes the winner obvious.
Lay options out as a vertical list or a grid, and use Image Choices or Icon Choices in place of plain text labels.
