How to Save WordPress Form Data to a Database (Easy Guide)

When someone fills out a form on your WordPress site, where does that data actually go? If you’re using the right form plugin, the answer is: straight into your WordPress database, automatically.

With WPForms, every form submission is stored in your site’s database the moment a visitor hits submit. You don’t need to configure anything extra.

From there, you can view entries, search and filter them, export to CSV or Excel, sync with Google Sheets, and even generate PDFs.

In this guide, I’ll show you exactly where your WordPress form data lives, how to access it, how to manage your entries from the dashboard, and what you can do with all that stored data.

How to Track a Lead Source in WordPress (2 Easy Ways)

I’ve noticed that new businesses tend to get a little hyperfocused on lead generation strategies and end up ignoring an equally important aspect of business growth – monitoring your lead sources. Knowing which specific forms and pages on your site are attracting the majority of your leads is important. I’ve often spent days developing a […]

How to Create a Divi Contact Form With WPForms

Divi’s built-in contact form module gets the job done for simple messages. But if you’ve tried adding file uploads, collecting payments, or even just storing submissions in your WordPress dashboard, you’ve probably run into its limitations.

Divi 5 brought real improvements to the form module, including conditional logic and better styling options. That said, the built-in form still lacks key features that most business websites need. There’s no entry storage, payment processing, and even spam protection features are limited.

WPForms is a dedicated WordPress form builder that fills all of those gaps and plugs directly into Divi through a native module. You get a real drag-and-drop builder with AI form generation features, 2,100+ templates, and every form you create drops right into the Divi visual builder from a simple dropdown.

New Feature Payments

Start Your Stripe Subscriptions With a Trial Period

Left-aligned hero text: “Add a Trial Period to Stripe Subscriptions in WPForms,” with a bear avatar and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge on dark blue background.

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.

Weekly Email Summary

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.

Integration New Feature Payments

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.
