<p>ZEJ Forms is an honest, complete forms plugin for WordPress. Build a form visually, store every submission in your dashboard, and set up reliable email with guided SMTP and real deliverability checks – without paywalling the parts that actually matter.</p>
<p>It is built to be calm and predictable: the free plugin does the whole job of a contact or lead form, and it never sends a “valid submission” into the void just because an email failed.</p>
<h4>Build forms visually</h4>
<ul>
<li>Drag-free visual builder with a live canvas preview, plus Build, Design, and Settings modes.</li>
<li>Field types: text, email, phone, textarea, select, radio, checkbox, consent, number, URL, date, time, and file upload.</li>
<li>Per-field label, key, placeholder, required toggle, and choice options.</li>
<li>Starter templates for Contact, Quote, Newsletter, and Support.</li>
<li>Gutenberg block, <code>[zejfo_form id="1"]</code> shortcode, and a <code>zejfo_render_form( 1 )</code> template tag.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Never lose a lead</h4>
<ul>
<li>Every submission can be stored in WordPress as a private entry – searchable, filterable, and exportable to CSV.</li>
<li>Submissions are saved before the notification email is attempted, so a mail outage can never discard a real lead.</li>
<li>If a notification email fails, the stored lead is flagged in the dashboard so you still see it.</li>
<li>Read / unread / spam status, starring, internal notes, and bulk actions.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Smart fields</h4>
<ul>
<li>Conditional visibility rules to show or hide fields based on other answers.</li>
<li>Dynamic labels, placeholders, and required-state dependencies.</li>
<li>Optional multi-step layout using per-field step numbers.</li>
<li>Prefill from URL parameters, page context, post meta, or the logged-in user.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Honest email and deliverability</h4>
<ul>
<li>Scoped SMTP that applies to ZEJ Forms email only – it never changes how the rest of WordPress sends mail.</li>
<li>Provider presets for Gmail / Google Workspace, Brevo, SendGrid, Mailgun, and Postmark, plus custom SMTP.</li>
<li>A branded From name and address, with the SMTP password encrypted at rest or supplied via the <code>ZEJFO_SMTP_PASSWORD</code> constant.</li>
<li>A deliverability check for From alignment, transport, SPF, and DMARC, and a test send that reports the real failure reason instead of a generic error.</li>
<li>Optional confirmation email to the person who submitted the form, with HTML templates you can override from your theme.</li>
</ul>
<p>ZEJ Forms gives you guided setup, test sending, and deliverability checks. No plugin can guarantee inbox placement – that depends on your domain, DNS, and sending reputation – so ZEJ Forms focuses on getting your configuration right and telling you the truth when something is wrong.</p>
<h4>Spam protection</h4>
<ul>
<li>Honeypot field and a signed form-start timing check.</li>
<li>Configurable minimum submit time and maximum link count.</li>
<li>Per-IP rate limiting.</li>
<li>Optional Akismet integration.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Integrations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Send submissions to a named webhook destination after a successful submission.</li>
<li>Presets for Zapier, Make, n8n, Pabbly Connect, HighLevel, Google Sheets (Apps Script), HubSpot, and Kit.</li>
<li>Field mapping, custom headers, HMAC-signed payloads, and test payloads.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Styling</h4>
<ul>
<li>Optional frontend stylesheet driven by <code>--zej-</code> custom properties.</li>
<li>Nine presets plus per-form controls for layout, spacing, radius, button width and alignment, and colors.</li>
<li>A Design canvas that previews your form as you adjust it.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<ul>
<li>A personal-data exporter and eraser, integrated with WordPress’ core privacy tools.</li>
<li>Suggested privacy-policy text.</li>
<li>Optional IP anonymization (<code>add_filter( 'zejfo_anonymize_ip', '__return_true' );</code>).</li>
<li>A clean uninstall that removes the plugin’s options, forms, and stored submissions.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>ZEJ Forms does not send form submissions to any external anti-spam or webhook service unless the site administrator explicitly enables and configures that feature.</p>
<h4>Akismet</h4>
<p>When the Akismet spam provider is enabled for a form, ZEJ Forms sends the submitted form data to Akismet to check whether the submission appears to be spam. The request may include the submitted field values, the submitter IP address, user agent, referrer, current page URL, site URL, form title, and the configured Akismet API key. This request is sent only when a visitor submits a form where Akismet protection is enabled.</p>
<p>Service provider: Akismet, an Automattic service.<br />
Privacy policy: https://akismet.com/privacy/<br />
Terms of service: https://akismet.com/tos/</p>
<h4>Webhooks</h4>
<p>When webhooks are enabled for a form, ZEJ Forms sends a JSON payload to the webhook URL configured by the site administrator. The payload may include mapped submission fields, submission metadata, form title, page URL, site URL, destination name, preset name, custom headers, and an optional HMAC signature. This request is sent only after a successful submission on a form where webhook delivery is enabled, or when an administrator sends a test payload from the form editor.</p>
<p>Webhook destinations are chosen by the site administrator and may include services such as Zapier, Make, n8n, Pabbly Connect, HighLevel, Google Sheets Apps Script, HubSpot, Kit, or a custom URL. The destination service’s privacy policy and terms depend on the URL configured by the site administrator.</p>

Antispam Bee

I have been using this for several years now and not had a single issue with spam.

lightweight and awesome.

Thank you.

The best antispam plugin


Using it since years and had no spam in my blog ever. Simple, clean, works.


Best Antispam Plugin


I've tested this plugin and seems to working very well. Most spam comments are gone, some of them (just a little) are able to avoid spam filters.



There is something need to be fixed and I'm already posted in support forum. I hope that it will be fixed soon.


Very good spam filter plugin.


Works quite well without calling out to a remote service, and doesn't require your visitors to be using JavaScript. (Seriously, I posted a test comment using Dillo and it showed up in the moderation queue!) No need to deal with API keys or licensing.



There are some optional tactics that will call a remote service for things like language identification, but so far it's doing the job fine without them!



The only problem I've had with it is that it only acts on comments, not on other features like contact forms.


Privacy-friendly spam filter


Simple to set up and use. Catches all the spam and deletes it before I get a chance to see it. Might miss one or two pieces a week, but that's still better than JetPack and it preserves my users' privacy.


Works better than JetPack


This is an amazing free plugin!What a mental dysfunction to generate spam, what a waste of resources, time, attention.Antispam Bee does a great job, for free.Thank you!
