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!

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.
A Stripe subscription sold through WPForms can now begin with a trial period: the subscriber signs up today, and their first payment waits until the trial is over.
The card is collected and checked at signup, held by Stripe, and charged automatically on the day the trial ends.
The length is a number of days, weeks, months, or years, chosen in the form builder’s Payments tab for each Stripe subscription you sell.
Each trial shows up in WPForms » Payments with a Trialing status until that first payment lands.
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.
