BoldForm Lite is a powerful yet lightweight form builder for WordPress. Build any kind of form using a visual drag-and-drop editor, embed it anywhere with a shortcode, Gutenberg block, or Elementor widget, and manage every submission right inside your WordPress dashboard.
Whether you need a simple contact form, a multi-field registration form, or a survey with conditional logic — BoldForm Lite has you covered with zero bloat.

<h4>Core Features</h4>
Drag & Drop Form Builder 
Build forms visually without writing a single line of code. Drag fields from the sidebar, reorder them, and configure each one instantly.
AJAX Form Submission 
Forms submit without a full page reload, giving visitors a smooth, fast experience.
Entries Management 
Every submission is stored in your WordPress database. View, filter, read, and delete entries from the BoldForm > Entries page. Mark entries as read, unread, or spam.
Email Notifications 
Automatically send an admin notification on every submission. Configure a custom “From” name, reply-to address, subject, and message body. Test email delivery directly from the settings panel.
Reports & Analytics 
A built-in reports dashboard shows total forms, total entries, and per-form performance stats using the browser’s native HTML5 Canvas chart — no external library required.
Export & Import 
Export all forms, a single form with its entries, or global settings as a JSON file. Import everything back with one click — great for moving between environments.
Multi-Step Forms 
Divide long forms into steps using the Section Break field. Display a progress bar, step indicators, or headings. Fully style the Next/Previous buttons and progress colors.
Conditional Logic 
Show or hide any field based on the visitor’s previous answers. Supports AND/OR logic rules per field.
Form Templates 
Start from a pre-built template instead of a blank form. Pick a template during form creation and customise from there.
Translation Ready 
All strings are internationalised using the <code>boldform-lite</code> text domain, ready for translation with any standard WordPress translation workflow.
Multisite Compatible 
Tables are created automatically for each new subsite when the plugin is network-activated.

<h3>Bundled Libraries</h3>
All JavaScript and CSS assets are bundled locally within the plugin directory. No scripts or styles are loaded from a CDN or any remote server except for the explicitly documented external services listed below.
Bundled third-party libraries:
<ul>
<li>Flatpickr (<code>assets/js/flatpickr.min.js</code>, <code>assets/css/flatpickr.min.css</code>) — MIT License — https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr 
Local copy used for the date and time picker fields. Not fetched from any CDN.</li>
</ul>
First-party scripts:
<ul>
<li><code>assets/js/sortable.js</code> — a small first-party drag-and-drop helper written for this plugin (used for field ordering in the builder). It is original BoldForm code, not the third-party SortableJS library, and is GPL-licensed with the rest of the plugin.</li>
</ul>
The submissions chart on the Reports page is rendered using the browser’s native HTML5 Canvas API. No external charting library is loaded.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin can optionally connect to the following third-party services. No data is transmitted to any external service unless you have explicitly enabled and configured that service in BoldForm settings.
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA</h4>
Protects forms from spam and bot submissions.
When a page containing a reCAPTCHA-enabled form is loaded, Google’s reCAPTCHA script is loaded from Google’s servers. On submission, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA token and the visitor’s IP address to Google’s verification API.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: reCAPTCHA response token, visitor IP address</li>
<li>When: Each form submission with reCAPTCHA enabled</li>
<li>Condition: Only when “Google reCAPTCHA” is selected in BoldForm > Settings > Captcha and valid keys are entered</li>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>hCaptcha</h4>
Privacy-friendly alternative for spam protection.
When a page with an hCaptcha-enabled form is loaded, the hCaptcha script is loaded from hCaptcha’s servers. On submission, the token and visitor IP are sent to hCaptcha’s verification API.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: hCaptcha response token, visitor IP address</li>
<li>When: Each form submission with hCaptcha enabled</li>
<li>Condition: Only when “hCaptcha” is selected in BoldForm > Settings > Captcha and valid keys are entered</li>
<li>Service provider: Intuition Machines, Inc.</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>Mailchimp</h4>
Adds subscribers to a Mailchimp audience on form submission.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: Email address, and optionally first name and last name (only fields you map)</li>
<li>When: Each submission of a form with an active Mailchimp integration</li>
<li>Condition: Only when a Mailchimp connection with a valid API key is configured under BoldForm > Settings > Integrations</li>
<li>Service provider: The Rocket Science Group LLC (Mailchimp)</li>
<li>Terms of Use: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/</li>
</ul>
<h4>Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)</h4>
Adds contacts to a Brevo list on form submission.

</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
When a visitor submits a form, BoldForm Lite stores the submission in your site’s own database (no data is sent anywhere unless you have configured one of the external services listed above). Each stored entry includes:
<ul>
<li>The values the visitor entered in the form fields (which may include personal data such as name, email address, phone number, address, and any uploaded files).</li>
<li>The submitter’s IP address and browser user-agent string, recorded for spam-prevention and auditing.</li>
<li>The logged-in user ID, when the form is submitted by a logged-in user.</li>
</ul>
Entries are retained until you delete them. You can remove individual entries (or all of them) from BoldForm > Entries at any time. If you enable “Remove all data on uninstall” in the settings, all stored forms and entries are deleted when the plugin is uninstalled.
BoldForm Lite integrates with WordPress’s built-in privacy tools: under Tools > Export Personal Data and Tools > Erase Personal Data, an administrator can export or erase the form entries associated with a given email address to help fulfil data-subject requests.
BoldForm – Drag & Drop Form Builder uses <a href="https://appsero.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Appsero</a> SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.
Appsero SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.
Integrating Appsero SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.
