How to Edit a Form Entry After It’s Been Submitted in WordPress

A misspelled email address or an appointment that moved after a phone call doesn’t mean anyone has to fill out your form again. You can fix a submitted entry right inside WordPress in about a minute.

This guide walks through editing entries in WPForms step by step, including which fields stay locked and why. We’ll also cover what to do after you edit, from resending notifications to updating the apps your form already sent that entry to.

How to Create a QR Code for an Event Registration Form

You print 200 flyers for your event, hand them out at every café and counter in town, and then wait. Some people will remember the URL, but most won’t!

That’s the gap a QR code closes, so the person holding your flyer doesn’t have to remember anything or type anything. They scan, your registration form opens, and they’re on the list.

WPForms builds the registration form and the QR code that opens it in the same place, so you only need one plugin and about ten minutes.

How to Add a Ranking Question to Your WordPress Forms

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.

How to Moderate Guest Posts in WordPress

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 vs Make vs n8n for WordPress Forms: Which Should You Use?

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!

Paystack Addon

Introducing the WPForms Paystack Addon: Accept Payments in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya

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.

New Feature

WPForms Dashboard

Dark blue hero with a circular bear logo on the left, large headline 'Introducing the New WPForms Dashboard' and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge; a dashboard mockup is visible on the right.

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!

New Feature

WPForms QR Code

Announcement banner: dark blue background with headline 'Say Hello to WPForms QR Code: One Scan Opens Your Form' and a large QR code on the right.

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.

New Feature

Ranking Field for Surveys & Polls

Announcement hero: dark blue background, bear avatar left, large 'Introducing the New WPForms Ranking Field' text, and three stacked white option cards with 'Movies' highlighted.

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.

Mercado Pago Addon

Introducing the WPForms Mercado Pago Addon: Card Payments Built for Latin America

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.
