AI Summary
How is every form on your site doing? That’s the question WPForms now answers the moment you log in.
Your entries and payments, form views, top visitor locations, and the next steps worth taking, all added up across your forms.
Each of your forms has always been able to tell you its own story.
Put them side by side, and you can see how people are engaging, where activity is growing, and what might deserve your attention next.
WPForms has always been the easiest way to build forms, and now it’s also the clearest way to see how they’re working for you.
Meet the New WPForms Dashboard!
Today, I’m thrilled to announce the WPForms Dashboard, a new home inside WPForms built around the information and actions that matter most to you.
Stat cards line the top with your site-wide totals, your forms and their numbers sit below them, and the actions worth taking next sit right alongside.
Plus, the Dashboard adapts automatically as you use WPForms. Activate features, connect tools, and collect more form activity, and the information it presents evolves with you.
And the best part? There’s nothing to install or set up, because the WPForms Dashboard comes with every plan, including WPForms Lite!
Everything the WPForms Dashboard Can Do For You
The Dashboard opens the moment you click WPForms in your WordPress admin menu. Here’s what it puts in front of you:
- Your Numbers Across Every Form: Stat cards surface important figures such as forms, entries, payments, views, and spam activity based on your WPForms plan and setup. Each card speaks for your whole site in a single figure.
- A Feed of Your Newest Entries: The Entries widget charts activity across your forms over your chosen date range, with a table underneath listing every form alongside its entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate.
- Payment Totals at a Glance: Connect a payment gateway, and the payments widget totals up everything you’ve collected across every form, with the same date range controls as your entries.
- Your Top Visitor Locations: With the Geolocation addon active, the Dashboard ranks the countries your form visitors come from, with each one’s share of your total entries and a donut chart breaking it down at a glance.
- Your Suggested Next Steps: The WPForms Dashboard surfaces useful actions based on your setup, from connecting a payment gateway to activating features that can help your forms do more.
- Handy Extras in the Sidebar: Your license status, What’s New in WPForms, recommended tools, and a quick anti-spam and security checkup sit in the sidebar, so the housekeeping side of your forms is always one glance away.
What This Looks Like for Your Business
Imagine opening WPForms on a Wednesday just to see how the week is going.
The stat cards across the top already have the answer. This week’s entries, the payments that came in overnight, and the spam that never made it through.
Below them, the newest entries are listed and waiting to be read, and the Top Locations widget shows a country in third place that you’ve never run a single ad in.
In a few seconds, you have a clearer picture of what’s happening across your business and a confident sense of where to focus next.
Who Is the WPForms Dashboard Perfect For?
The WPForms Dashboard is for anyone who wants to know how their forms are doing the moment they log in. Here’s who will love it most:
- Small business owners who want one glance to tell them whether their forms did their job this week, from how many people got in touch to what came in from payments.
- eCommerce store owners who want payments, sales, refunds, and coupons redeemed sitting right beside their entries, so one check covers both sides of the business.
- Agencies and developers who look after sites with more than one admin. Gear settings and dismissed prompts save to each admin’s own login, so whatever one person tidies away stays visible for the client.
- Anyone new to WPForms who wants a clear place to start as the Dashboard lays out your first steps, so your first form goes live sooner and your next move is always clear.
Take Your First Look Around in Under a Minute
There’s nothing to install and nothing to switch on. Make sure you are running the latest version of WPForms, then follow along:
Step 1: Click WPForms in Your Sidebar
Click WPForms in your WordPress admin sidebar, and the Dashboard opens as your new first screen, with the stat cards across the top and your newest entries and payments below.
Step 2: Set Your Date Range and Tune the Tables
Open the date range picker and choose Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, or Last 1 year, or pick Custom and set your own dates on the calendar. Then use any table’s gear icon to set how many rows it shows.
Step 3: Act on What You See
Pick any card in your next steps, like connecting a payment gateway, setting up an integration, or activating Geolocation. Once it’s done, the matching widget takes its place on your Dashboard.
Here’s What Makes This Truly Special
The WPForms Dashboard is designed to grow with you.
For a new WPForms Lite user, it provides a useful starting point and clear next steps.
On an established Pro or Elite site, it becomes a site-wide view of entries, payments, analytics, locations, and more.
You never have to configure the WPForms Dashboard before it becomes useful.
It recognizes the features available on your site and brings forward information that fits how you are using them.
So, the next time you open WPForms, the whole picture is already there, ready for you to act on.
