Why this plugin

Combines a user-friendly visual builder with robust security features. Stores submissions safely, fights spam effectively, and respects user privacy, all while prioritizing site performance.

Visual Form Builder

Drag, drop, and configure fields (Text, Email, Textarea), set placeholders, and mark required fields easily.

Secure CPT Storage

Submissions stored as private 'gv_message' post types, keeping data within WordPress securely.

Multi-Layer Spam Defense

Combines Honeypot, reCAPTCHA v3 (server-verified), and IP/UA rate limits.

Admin Features

Optional GDPR consent checkbox, auto-reply emails, and easy CSV export.

How it works

1. User Submits

An AJAX request is sent with a nonce. User interaction (like a field focus) lazy-loads the reCAPTCHA script to protect page speed.

2. Server-Side Verification

The server validates the Nonce, Honeypot field, GDPR consent, Rate Limit, and reCAPTCHA v3 score/action.

3. If Valid

The submission is securely saved as a private Custom Post Type. An admin email and optional auto-reply are sent.

4. JSON Response

A clean success or error message is returned via JSON to the form, allowing for a seamless UI update without a page reload.

FAQ

Submissions are saved as private 'Messages' (Custom Post Type: `gv_message`) within your WordPress admin area, accessible via the GV Forms menu. They are not stored externally.
No, the Google reCAPTCHA v3 script is only loaded *after* the user interacts with the form (e.g., focuses on a field). This avoids impacting initial page load speed and scores.
The plugin provides a modern dark theme (`gv-forms.css`). You can override these styles with your own CSS. Label colors and an optional form title/alignment/color can be set in the builder.
From the 'Messages' admin list page, click 'Export to CSV'. This generates a UTF-8 encoded CSV file containing all submissions, including custom fields from the builder. It also includes protection against CSV/Excel formula injection.
