Surveys by Feedback Cat is the first WordPress plugin that lets you read people’s minds.
Well, sort of.
When you use our plugin you’ll be able to know what your users are really thinking.
Unfortunately, though, “reading minds” here doesn’t mean doing anything out of the X-Men movies. We’re not talking mind reading in that sense.
Instead, Surveys by Feedback Cat lets you create surveys and get direct user feedback. With this feedback, you will know what your users are thinking. You can then use their thoughts from the survey to grow your business more effectively.
So, do you have 2 minutes?
That’s how “long” it takes to set up Surveys by Feedback Cat. You’ll find complete installation instructions below. But don’t expect anything long or time-consuming. It really is easy to get up and running with Surveys by Feedback Cat. You can do it in 2 minutes. Seriously!
Then there’s the whole issue of price.
Brace yourself. Sit down if you need to. Stop chewing a chicken bone, so you won’t choke on it.
Surveys by Feedback Cat is…
FREE!
Libre. Gratis. 免費.
You can set up your surveys and get powerful user feedback at NO charge.
Speaking of free – Surveys by Feedback Cat is proudly 100%, bull**** free.
That means you can use our plugin without being harassed by annoying up-sells.
We’re NOT going to be cheapskates and only let you do X number of surveys for free.
We also respect you enough to NOT shove a branding link inside your feedback forms. They are your surveys, after all. We’re just along for the ride.
Got all that?
Hope so. Here are just a few more things you need to know.
First, once you set up Surveys by Feedback Cat, make sure your email inbox is ready. All user feedback is going straight to the inbox – meaning you don’t want responses from surveys to accidentally get flagged as spam.
You should also know that Surveys by Feedback cat is completely open source. Feel free to download our code and modify it to your heart’s content.

This plugin has reached its end of life and should no longer be used. PHP 7 is not supported and support will not be added
<h4>IMPORTANT</h4>
If you are using a version less than 1.6.1 you need to update NOW
Version 2.0 is a major rewrite to address the issues of data loss that some users have been experiencing. Surveys are now custom post types and leverage the WordPress post editor. Individual responses are stored as post meta – each response is represented by one row in the post meta table for the survey.
This plugin allows you to create surveys with an easy-to-use form builder, publish surveys with a simple shortcode and view survey results in the admin backend. You maintain control of your data. Automatic form validation is included.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ol>
<li>You maintain ownership of your data – does not rely on third-party services.</li>
<li>Allows the creation of any number of surveys to collect data from visitors to your site.</li>
<li>Build your survey forms with the powerful built-in form builder.</li>
<li>Optionally require login or cookie authentication in order for a user to take the survey.</li>
<li>Publish your surveys on pages or posts by including a shortcode new or link directly to them.</li>
<li>Advanced form field validation is included.</li>
<li>View results of your surveys in the admin area of your WordPress site.</li>
<li>Extendable through action/filter hooks.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Known issues/limitations</h4>
<ol>
<li>
At this time, it is not possible to edit survey questions if the survey has responses. In the future I plan to re-implement this but only so much as to allow for the editing of text – You will not be able to add questions to a survey which has responses. You will not be able to add answers to questions if the survey has respones.
</li>
<li>
Since the surveys are now custom post types, the actual survey form is saved 
as ‘post_content’. This means that if WordPress was in English when you built the survey, but your site wants to be in another language, the English strings will still be output, i.e. ‘Submit Response’ & ‘make a selection…’. Likewise, even if your WordPress site was in your language but you didn’t have the translations available, those strings will be output in English. As a workaround, you can append some parameters to your url e.g. when on the general survey options screen, your url would look like this: “wp-admin/admin.php?page=awesome-surveys.php” add this to the url: “&translate-surveys=true” to force translation of all of your surveys. The translation strings for your language must be present in order for this to work. As another alternative, I would suggest implementing the WordPress ‘<code>the_content</code>‘ filter to change the strings to whatever you need them to be.

<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<h4>Known Issues:</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Versions prior to 1.6.1 are potentially vulnerable to malicious attacks – please do not use versions prior to 1.6.1
</li>
<li>
The Async JS and CSS plugin can cause the javascript for Awesome Surveys to not be loaded. See this <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-when-submitting?replies=20" rel="ugc">support thread</a> for a workaround.
</li>
<li>Survey form display hasn’t likely been tested with your theme. Styling may break and the form may look horrible. If you experience this, please do contact me with suggestions on how to fix it for your particular theme.</li>
<li>Cookie authentication for allowing/denying users to take the survey is very easily circumvented. If using cookie based authentication for your surveys, please keep this in mind. You will be far less likely to see “ballot-stuffing” if you are allowing registrations on your site and require the user to login to take the survey.</li>
<li>Many developer features are unfinished at this time. If you are developing an extension for this plugin or using any of the action/filter hooks included, proceed with caution.</li>
