Best WordPress Form PluginDec 18, 2010 | by geekola | Read | No Comments

I recently had a project that needed a lot more than the basic Contact form plugins like CFORM. I came across a plugin called Formidable. Out of the box it was pretty impressive. I ended up purchasing the pro version of the tool and absolutely love it. Take a look for yourself:

Create forms the Easy way with Formidable Pro

Formidable Pro makes it dead simple to build any kind of form you want within seconds. With pure, drag and drop controls and in-place editing you don’t need to know the first thing about HTML or CSS to be extremely effective immediately. Restrict forms to logged-in users, allow them to edit previous responses, and display the collected data.

Enter and manage data from the WordPress admin as an easy alternative to using WordPress posts and custom fields. Use Formidable Pro to replace a multitude of other plugins including testimonials, faqs, real estate listings, polls and surveys, contact forms (of course), and virtually any other plugin that displays your inputted data. Make Formidable even more powerful by combining it with specialized plugins like NextGen Gallery, Flash Video Player, or any other plugins with shortcodes for use in pages or posts.

There is also a free version: Formidable Free Edition

Another reason to upgrade to the Pro version is that Stephanie Wells, the plugin author, provides very good support through the Pro Forum. Very few plugins offer any support!!

Create and Edit Posts
Allow your users to not only create posts with your forms, but also manage and edit them. Add fields for only the post title and content for a simple post, or and any of the following: post date, title, slug, excerpt, categories, tags, status (they can select whether it’s a draft or pending review), and unlimited custom fields. The Formidable Pro Wiki is an example of creating and editing posts in action.

• Powerful Form Fields
• Sleek Graphical Reports
• Smokin Hot Form Styling
• Display Collected Data
• Flexible Data Collection
• Professional Form Templates
• Money Back Guarantee
