Meet the New WPForms Ranking Field – Find Out What Your Audience Wants Most!

Here’s an uncomfortable truth about survey forms.

You ask your audience to rate five ideas from 1 to 5. You collect hundreds of responses. You sit down to analyze the data and… everything scores between 3.8 and 4.2.

Now what?

You still don’t know which idea to work on next. You still can’t figure out what your customers actually care about most.

Rating questions let people sit on the fence, and when everything can score a 4, you’re leaving real insights on the table.

What you need is a question where something has to win.

That’s why today, I’m excited to announce something that will completely change how you collect preference data.

WPForms vs Fluent Forms: Which Form Builder Is Right for You?

If you’re picking a form plugin for a WordPress site right now, Fluent Forms and WPForms have probably both landed on your shortlist.

Both are drag-and-drop builders with free versions on WordPress.org, and both have loyal users who’ll tell you theirs is the obvious answer.

WPForms is the better choice for most WordPress sites, from a first contact form through conditional logic, payments, surveys, field-level analytics and AI-assistant automation.

How to Require Email Verification for New User Registrations in WordPress

Do QR Codes Expire? How Long Do They Really Last?

Since the address is incorporated into the pattern at the time the code is formed, QR codes do not typically expire. However, what usually goes dead is whatever sits behind it.

Search around and you’ll find the same story over and over that somebody made a QR code months ago, printed it, and now scanning it brings up a message about the link having expired.

In such cases, what actually stops working is link! Free generators switch off their redirects when trials end, and destination pages QR codes point to can also get moved or deleted.

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!
