Fake signups and bot accounts piling up on your WordPress site? Email verification for new user registrations holds every account inactive until the person confirms a real email. Here’s how to set it up with WPForms in about ten minutes, no code.
Ever wished you could hand your website visitors a list and just ask, “Okay, put these in order for me”?
Maybe you’re deciding which product feature to build next, which topics your newsletter should cover, or which dishes have earned a permanent spot on the menu.
A ranking question gets you a straight answer by letting your visitors arrange your options from their top choice down to their last, so you see exactly where every option stands.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to add a ranking question to your WordPress forms using the WPForms Ranking field. The whole setup is point and click and should take you just about 5 minutes.
Do you run a website that depends heavily on guest posts? Ever wondered how you can review those posts readers submit on your form?
It’s a fairly common practice for most websites to offer their own composer on the front-end that ultimately leads to a published piece on the site, but the review process is just as important.
That’s where the WPForms Post Submissions addon comes in, allowing you to create a form that accepts guest posts, while offering you control on the review process.
Zapier, Make, and n8n are the three names you’ll keep running into when trying to figure out which automation tool is the best option for your WordPress form.
To keep things simple, Zapier bills you for every task a form entry triggers, Make counts operations instead, and n8n costs nothing to run if you host it yourself.
So, which is the best option for you? Well, that depends on what you’re trying to achieve with your WordPress form. And that’s exactly what I’ll be discussing in this guide!
Easy, Fast, and Secure. Join over 6 million website owners who trust WPForms.
SMS gets a 98% open rate. Email gets 20–28%. But both numbers come from marketing campaigns, not from the “new quote request just came in” alert sitting in your dashboard.
Here’s what each channel is actually good at once it’s wired to a form and how to run both without doubling your work.
When a user fills out a form on your site, how do you figure out what actually lead them to it? The answer to this question could help you acquire more leads and form submissions.
So, it’s important to understand what pages someone reads before they submit. Luckily for you, WPForms can record the entire journey leading up to the form submissions.
In this guide, i’ll walk you through how to switch that on and how to read what it gives you, along with how to measure your form analytics to improve conversions.
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.
The Surveys & Polls addon gains a Ranking field!
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.
The Mercado Pago addon brings on-page card payments built for Latin America to your forms.
Buyers enter their card details into secure, Mercado Pago-hosted fields inside the form, choose an installment plan, and pay in ARS, BRL, CLP, COP, MXN, PEN, or UYU without leaving your page.
An approved charge fires your confirmation, notifications, and integrations at the moment money actually moves, and full or partial refunds can be issued from WPForms » Payments.
WPForms takes no transaction fee, and it works with Quantities, Coupons, multi-page forms, Conversational Forms, Lead Forms, and Form Pages.
WPForms 2.0 adds a complete form performance tracking suite inside your WordPress dashboard.
The All Forms page now shows Views, Entries, and Conversion Rate for every form, and each form gets its own analytics dashboard with views, interactions, conversion rate, abandonments, and errors over the last 7, 30, or 90 days or a custom range.
A field-by-field table shows interactions, time spent, errors, and abandonment for every field, so you can see exactly where people give up, and you can set a conversion goal to track progress.
There’s also a built-in AI chat reads your form data and tells you what is working, what is hurting conversions, and what to fix first.
