<p>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.

This innovative approach to form creation ensures that Form Block stands out from other WordPress form plugins.</p>

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.

Twentig Supercharged Block Editor – Blocks, Patterns, Starter Sites, Portfolio

One of the most useful, handier, time-saving plugins that make things easier to work with the default WordPress themes (Twenty Twenty, Twenty Twenty-one, Twenty Twenty-two).

Excellent Plugin


I particularly appreciate the additional features of the gallery block. Merci beaucoup !


Super useful plugin!


I like how the plugin integrates with native blocks and doesn’t overly appropriate the WordPress interface. But I miss progress. The promised Twentig One theme seemed like an interesting solution to simplify the creation of FSE websites. When can we expect some news? :)



Thanks!


Extends native blocks without taking ownership of WordPress UI


An excellent plugin - adding many features and patterns to the block editor that should be in core. Very much appreciate the understated way this has been implemented. It's a professional solution, not trying to take over the editor or full of upsells. Thank you! 


Excellent

Supercharge the WordPress block editor with enhanced core blocks, hundreds of block patterns, professional starter sites, and portfolio tools.
