Before you get started, be sure to install and activate the WPForms plugin. Your Ninja Forms plugin must also still be installed on your site.
Importing Forms from Ninja Forms
To open our form importer tool, go to WPForms » Tools. Once there, scroll to the section titled Import from Other Form Plugins.
In the importer dropdown, select Ninja Forms as your previous form plugin. Once you’ve done so, click the Import button.
Next, you’ll be able to select which specific forms you’d like to bring in from Ninja Forms. Under the Available Forms column, you’ll see all the detected forms. Any forms you select here will be added to the Forms to Import column.
When you’ve selected all the forms you’d like to import, click the Import button.
When the import is complete, you’ll see a success message as well as quick links to edit or preview any imported forms.
If a field isn’t compatible, the importer tool will notify you that it couldn’t be imported.
Our importer tool will also copy notification email and confirmation settings from your existing forms into your new WPForms. For more details on customizing these settings, be sure to check out our tutorials on setting up notification emails and choosing confirmation settings.
Note: Please always review and test your imported forms to be sure everything is working properly before adding them to a live page or post.
Once you’ve reviewed your imported forms, you can go ahead and embed them in your WordPress site.
Displaying Your Forms in WordPress
To replace your old forms with your new imported forms, you’ll need to swap out your Ninja Forms blocks with WPForms blocks.
To do this, open the page editor where an existing form is embedded. Click on the Ninja Forms block and press the Delete key on your keyboard, or click on the three-dot icon in the block toolbar and select Remove Ninja Form.
Next, click the blue plus (+) button to add a new block.
Search for “WPForms” in the search bar on the left, or scroll down to the Widgets section of the block library. Click on WPForms.
Then, select the form you imported from the dropdown.
Make sure to update or save your changes by clicking on the appropriate option in the top right corner of the editor.
Once you’ve replaced all of your Ninja Forms with WPForms, you can deactivate and delete the Ninja Forms plugin.
