<h4>WordPress Contact Form Builder Plugin</h4>
GenForm is a modern, lightweight WordPress form builder that lets you create beautiful, responsive forms in minutes — with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
Whether you need a simple contact form, event RSVP, job application, booking request, or lead-generation form, GenForm gives you everything you need right out of the box.
<h4>Why Choose GenForm Over Other Form Plugins?</h4>
Most WordPress form plugins overwhelm you with heavy page loads or confusing dashboards. GenForm takes a different approach:
🚀 Feature-Packed — 12 field types, 16+ templates, entry management, email notifications, CSV export, and more — all included. 
⚡ Lightweight & Fast — CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that actually contain a form. Zero overhead on every other page. 
🔒 Privacy First — All submissions are stored in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to any external server. 
🛡️ Secure by Default — Built-in honeypot spam protection, IP rate limiting, nonce verification, and full input sanitization from day one. 
🙌 No Learning Curve — If you can drag and drop, you can build a form. It’s that simple.
<h4>Drag & Drop Form Builder</h4>
Build any form visually — no code, no complexity.
<ul>
<li>Drag fields from the sidebar onto the canvas and reorder them in real time.</li>
<li>12 field types: Text, Email, Textarea, Number, Select, Radio, Checkbox, Date, URL, Phone, Hidden, and Password.</li>
<li>Customize every field: label, placeholder, help text, required toggle, CSS class, and column width.</li>
<li>6 column-width options (25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, 75%, 100%) to create multi-column layouts.</li>
<li>Clone any field with its full configuration in one click.</li>
<li>Type-specific controls: textarea rows, number min/max/step values.</li>
<li>Default values and multi-option management for Select, Radio, and Checkbox fields.</li>
</ul>
<h4>16+ Ready-Made Form Templates</h4>
Skip the blank canvas and start with a professionally designed template. GenForm ships with 16+ templates across 7 categories — just pick one, customize the text, and publish.
<ul>
<li>General — Simple Contact, Event RSVP, Volunteer Signup.</li>
<li>Business — Support Ticket, Job Application, Request a Quote, Bug Report.</li>
<li>Booking — Restaurant Reservation, Appointment Booking, Hotel Reservation.</li>
<li>Marketing — Newsletter Signup, Lead Generation, Event Registration.</li>
<li>Feedback — Customer Feedback.</li>
<li>Education — Course Enrollment.</li>
<li>Healthcare — Patient Intake.</li>
</ul>
Each template comes pre-configured with the right fields, sensible validation, and polished submit-button layout.
<h4>Smart Entry Management</h4>
Every form submission is captured, organized, and easy to act on — all inside your WordPress dashboard.
<ul>
<li>Familiar list-table interface — search, filter by form, and switch between All / Unread / Trash views.</li>
<li>Quick-View popup — scan an entry without leaving the list.</li>
<li>Dedicated detail page — see full submission data alongside metadata like IP address, browser, operating system, and source page URL.</li>
<li>Unread badge indicator — entries auto-mark as “read” when viewed.</li>
<li>Bulk actions: Mark Read, Mark Unread, Trash, Restore, Delete Permanently.</li>
<li>One-click CSV export — per form or all entries combined, with Excel-compatible formatting.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email Notifications</h4>
Get notified instantly every time someone submits a form.
<ul>
<li>Automatic admin email on every new submission.</li>
<li>Dynamic template tags: <code>{form_name}</code>, <code>{entry_id}</code>, <code>{admin_email}</code>, <code>{site_title}</code>, <code>{all_fields}</code>, and per-field <code>{field_*}</code> tags.</li>
<li>Customizable subject line, email body, sender name, sender email, and reply-to address — all configurable per form.</li>
<li>Global sender identity defaults in Settings — set it once, apply everywhere.</li>
<li>Clean HTML emails with structured data tables.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Embed Anywhere — Gutenberg, Shortcode & Page Builders</h4>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg Block — add the “GenForm” block and pick your form from the sidebar.</li>
<li>Shortcode — <code>[genform id="X"]</code> works in Classic Editor, text widgets, and any page builder (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.).</li>
<li>Per-form typography: choose your font size (12–24 px) and font weight (300–700).</li>
<li>Customizable submit button: text content and alignment (left, center, right, full-width).</li>
<li>Post-submission behavior: show a success message or redirect to a custom URL.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Anti-Spam Protection (No CAPTCHAs Required)</h4>
Keep spam out without annoying your visitors.
<ul>
<li>Honeypot field — a hidden input that bots fill in but real users never see. Any flagged submission is silently rejected.</li>
<li>IP rate limiting — each IP address is capped at 5 submissions per minute. Excessive attempts get a “please try again later” message.</li>
<li>reCAPTCHA v2/v3 key storage in global settings for additional protection when needed.</li>
</ul>
No puzzles, no image grids, no friction — your visitors just submit the form.
<h4>GDPR & Privacy Compliance</h4>
<ul>
<li>Per-form GDPR consent checkbox with fully customizable text.</li>
<li>Consent is validated on both the browser and the server — visitors cannot bypass it.</li>
<li>All data stays in your WordPress database — nothing is sent to third-party servers.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall removes all plugin data when you delete GenForm.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Live Form Preview</h4>
Preview any saved form exactly as your visitors will see it — directly from the builder or the All Forms page. Preview mode disables submissions so you can review the design without creating test entries.
<h4>Beautiful Admin Dashboard</h4>
<ul>
<li>Modern admin interface with a clean, card-based layout.</li>
<li>Dashboard widget — see total forms, total entries, and the 5 most recent submissions at a glance.</li>
<li>Admin Bar shortcuts — quick links to All Forms and Entries from any admin page.</li>
<li>Tabbed form builder: Fields → Settings → Notifications — everything in one place.</li>
<li>Global Settings page: brand accent color, default email identity, reCAPTCHA keys, and asset optimization toggle.</li>
<li>Form duplication and one-click shortcode copy on the All Forms page.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Works With Your Favorite Tools</h4>
GenForm integrates seamlessly with your WordPress setup:
<ul>
<li>✅ Gutenberg — dedicated block with form picker.</li>
<li>✅ Classic Editor — embed via shortcode.</li>
<li>✅ Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder — paste the shortcode in any text/shortcode widget.</li>
<li>✅ Any Theme — outputs clean, semantic HTML that inherits your theme’s styles.</li>

</ul>
