WordPress offers several (contact) form plugins, but most of them are not up-to-date anymore when it comes to creating forms. Form Block tackles this problem by utilizing the block editor’s power. It enables you to create a form effortlessly within the block editor itself, which makes the process of creating a form much more enjoyable and similar to creating other types of blocks. This innovative approach to form creation ensures that Form Block stands out from other WordPress form plugins.

Form Block


Just tried out this simple Form Block plugin and it's awesome – every block in the editor should be like this. Making a contact form is super easy. You just install it, add the block in the editor, pick the pre-made contact form, and you’re done. Editing the fields is a breeze, and it even includes a GDPR checkbox automatically. It works right away, sending the info to the WP admin email without any extra setup. The free version is perfect for beginners.


Effortless Contact Form Plugin, Easily Used as Block, GDPR Compliant

Block Form is a really great plugin that makes it easy to create fantastic forms. We will definitely use it frequently for new projects and replace other form plugins in older projects.

Great Plugin

An extensive yet user-friendly form block.

This plugin enables you to disable Gutenberg and replace it with the Classic Editor wherever you want.

Very useful--restores Wordpress to the way I need it


I can't really imagine Wordpress without this plugin. The nonsense called Gutenberg reliably eliminates and nothing else is needed.


The most important plugin the wordpress world needs


Sometimes the block editor is fine to use, but glad this plugin was made. 



Cheers.


Annoying that this is still required in 2025

Disable Gutenberg Block Editor and restore the Classic Editor and original Edit Post screen (TinyMCE, meta boxes, etc.).
