Custom Contact Forms

New: build a form by describing it. Tell Custom Contact Forms what you need — “a booking form for a dog grooming appointment with the owner’s details and their preferred date” — and it builds it, fields, labels and all, ready to edit. It uses the AI provider already connected to your site under Settings > Connectors, so there is no API key to enter here and nothing is sent anywhere else. Requires WordPress 7.0 or later; the option stays hidden otherwise.

Custom Contact Forms lets you build forms and manage submissions entirely within WordPress. The drag-and-drop builder lives inside the media manager — no separate admin pages, no learning a new interface. Live previews update as you build, and forms can be inserted via Gutenberg block, shortcode, widget, or PHP function.

Start from a prebuilt template — contact, quote request, newsletter, event registration, or feedback — and have a working form in seconds. Or build your own from scratch with text, email, phone, address, dropdowns, checkboxes, file uploads, and more. Style it with included form themes and per-field width controls, or add your own custom CSS.

Powering thousands of active websites, with over 1.3 million all-time downloads. Originally created by Taylor Lovett, Custom Contact Forms is now actively maintained by Dmitry Alexander — rebuilt for modern WordPress with a hardened, PHP 8+ codebase, a refreshed builder, and new features added regularly.

What You Can Build

• Contact forms, quote requests, support forms, event registrations, newsletter signups
• Text, paragraph, email (with optional confirmation), name, phone, website, address (US + international), date/time, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, file uploads, hidden fields, and HTML blocks
• Conditional fields and sections — show/hide fields based on other field values
• Multiple email notifications per form — customize recipients, subject, from name, reply-to, and body with field mapping
• Post creation on submission — map form fields to post fields, meta, and taxonomies
