## Leírás
GriffinForms is a free drag-and-drop WordPress form builder plugin for contact forms,
multi-step forms, user registration forms, file upload forms, and payment forms.
All core features are free — no paywalls, no upgrade required.
It handles a simple contact form as easily as a multi-step application. Build with
a visual editor, store all submissions in your WordPress database, and layer in
conditional logic, spam protection, MailChimp integration, and AI form building
with Griffin Assist — all included in the free core.
#### GriffinForms Pro
GriffinForms Pro is an optional paid add-on. It adds Square payments, Google Sheets
sync, Klaviyo marketing integration, premium field types (Signature, Rating, Rich
Text, Image Selection, Likert Scale), submission export (CSV, JSON, Excel), and
frontend submission editing. The core plugin remains free and fully functional without
it.
#### Why GriffinForms?
* **Free core, no feature walls on the essentials**: multi-step forms, user registration,
file uploads, Stripe and PayPal payments, conditional logic, spam protection,
and email notifications are all included in the free plugin — no licence required.
* **Multi-step forms**: break longer forms into pages with per-step validation
so users can complete structured flows without feeling overwhelmed. You can also
add an optional progress bar — stepper or tabs style — so users always know where
they are in the process.
* **WordPress user registration**: create WordPress users from form submissions
with immediate, pending-activation, or manual-review workflows, multiple registration
workflows per form, role assignment, duplicate-account handling, and account-
action visibility in the admin area.
* **File uploads**: support multi-file uploads per field with controls for file
types, size limits, file counts, image constraints, and storage behavior.
* **Stripe and PayPal payments**: build WordPress payment forms with product-style
workflows, product images, a cart-style review step, hosted checkout options,
and resume links for pending payments.
* **MailChimp integration**: subscribe form submitters to MailChimp audiences as
part of the submission flow — map form fields to MailChimp merge tags, assign
tags, and control consent behavior per form.
* **WordPress conditional logic**: go beyond simple show and hide with rules that
can change labels, values, headings, success messages, redirects, and submit
behavior — across fields, rows, and pages.
* **Email and notifications**: send notifications and autoresponders through WordPress
mail, Custom SMTP, SendGrid, or Mailgun, with reusable messages and merge variables.
* **Spam protection**: choose from reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, or
honeypot, and combine them with native rate limiting on submissions and file
uploads for layered protection.
* **Builder checks system**: a live status bar in the form builder surfaces errors,
warnings, and info counts as you edit — covering spam config, email setup, compliance,
registration risks, and layout issues before you publish.
* **Compliance profiles**: per-form GDPR and HIPAA-ready profiles with submission
hashing, layout snapshots, configurable retention, and WordPress personal data
export and erase integration.
* **Templates and theming**: turn forms into reusable templates, then style them
with built-in themes or your own custom theme variations.
* **Submission clarity in WordPress**: review entries in a richer admin view with
event timelines, per-submission audit logs, metadata, and settings history when
troubleshooting production forms.
* **Switching from another plugin**: if you are already running Contact Form 7,
WPForms Lite, Ninja Forms, or Formidable Forms, GriffinForms includes a guided
migration tool that imports your existing forms and submissions so you can move
without starting over.
#### Drag-and-drop form builder
GriffinForms treats layout as a core part of form building. The drag-and-drop builder
uses pages, rows, columns, sidebar controls, and reusable fields to make complex
forms easier to shape and maintain. Then you can layer in conditions, uploads, notifications,
and payments where needed. This makes longer forms easier to manage and easier for
users to complete.
Reusable fields also help solve a common admin problem: teams should not need to
recreate the same Name, Email, Phone, or Address field across every new form. Common
fields can be managed from one place, which helps keep repeated workflows faster
to build and more consistent over time.
#### File uploads with practical control
File uploads are not limited to a basic attachment field. GriffinForms supports
multi-file uploads per field and is designed for workflows where uploads matter,
such as applications, support requests, and document collection. For example, an
application form can collect resumes, ID documents, certificates, and supporting
images in one submission instead of forcing users to send files separately later.
You can control allowed file types, per-file and total upload size limits, max file
counts, image-specific constraints, and storage behavior, then manage uploaded files
from WordPress.
#### Payment workflows with Stripe and PayPal
If you enable Stripe or PayPal, GriffinForms can handle payment collection inside
the form flow. This is useful for donations, simple product or service requests,
paid applications, and other workflows where payment is part of submission instead
of a separate checkout. GriffinForms supports a fuller review-and-pay pattern with
product-style selections, product images, and cart-style summaries. Stripe can stay
on-page for card collection, while PayPal uses its hosted popup approval flow. For
pending payments, resume links can bring users back so they can continue from where
they left off.
Payment workflows can also gate user registration — combining payment collection
with WordPress account creation in a single form makes it straightforward to build
paid membership signups, paid course registrations, and other workflows where account
access should follow a successful payment.
#### Strong conditional logic layer
Conditional logic in GriffinForms goes beyond a simple show-or-hide toggle. You
can use field, row, and form-level rules to change labels and values, control headings
and visibility, swap success messages, trigger redirects, and adjust submit-button
behavior.
Conditions also go beyond basic text matching. GriffinForms supports checks across
field values, counts, password strength, browser time, address parts, and payment-
specific conditions such as product, gateway, totals, and counts. That makes it
useful for smarter routing, cleaner payment flows, and forms that react as the submission
takes shape.
For example, you can change the success message or redirect users to a different
destination based on what they selected in the form.
#### Themable forms with deeper styling control
Forms should not look disconnected from the rest of your site. GriffinForms includes
built-in themes, but the theme system goes further than picking a preset. You can
create new themes from scratch or modify existing ones with control over typography,
layout, inputs, buttons, and states such as hover, focus, and active. Dark themes
also look especially strong in GriffinForms, which helps when you want forms to
feel more polished and deliberate instead of settling for one generic form look.
#### Submissions, logs, and admin visibility
Submissions are stored in your WordPress database, but the admin experience goes
further than a simple entry list. GriffinForms includes a richer submission view
with metadata, payment context where applicable, submission-specific logs, and event
timelines so you can follow what happened to a submission and where it changed.
Native logging adds another layer of visibility for production sites. Timeline-style
logs, searchable categories, job visibility, retention settings, and settings history
make it easier to troubleshoot failed steps, trace changes, and understand what
happened over time.
GriffinForms also supports partial submissions, which means incomplete multi-step
submissions can still remain visible in the admin area when that workflow matters.
#### WordPress account registration workflows
GriffinForms includes a flexible user registration workflow for registration forms
that need to create or manage WordPress users after submission. You can build a
simple WordPress registration form for one account, or use an iterable email field
for multi-user registration from a single form submission. GriffinForms lets you
choose whether a registration form should use a mapped password or send the native
WordPress password setup link, assign the WordPress user role for the account being
created, and map optional profile data such as username, first name, last name,
and profile image when the form collects it.
This user registration system is built for real workflows, not just one fixed registration
form pattern. You can decide whether user registration happens immediately, waits
for admin activation, or stays in manual review, and you can control how duplicate-
account cases are handled. GriffinForms also gives registration forms stronger admin
visibility through native logging, submission-side account activity, account-action
follow-up, and builder checks that help catch missing mappings, risky password choices,
and iterable registration-form edge cases before the form goes live.

[Password strategies](https://griffinforms.com/docs/user-docs/user-registrations/password-strategies-and-password-setup.php)
#### Spam protection and rate limiting
GriffinForms supports multiple CAPTCHA providers, including reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare
Turnstile, and hCaptcha. It also includes native rate limiting and backend anti-
spam checks, so spam protection does not depend on a single layer. That protection
applies across the submission flow, including workflows that use file uploads.
#### Email delivery and notifications
GriffinForms can send admin notifications and autoresponders through WordPress mail
or configured delivery providers — Custom SMTP, SendGrid, or Mailgun — without requiring
a separate SMTP plugin. Notifications are queued and processed in the background
so form submissions are never blocked by email delivery latency.

#### Griffin Assist — AI form building inside the builder
Griffin Assist is GriffinForms’ built-in AI form builder for WordPress. Describe
the form you need using plain-English prompts, and Griffin Assist drafts the structure
for you. From there you keep full control — drag, rearrange, and fine-tune using
the same builder you already know.
This is not a separate AI tool that hands off a static export. Griffin Assist works
inside your live draft, so changes appear immediately in the builder as you prompt
them.
**Drafting a new form**: type a prompt in the Create Form modal and Griffin Assist
generates a starting structure with pages, rows, and fields. The draft opens in
the builder ready for you to refine. When you are happy with it, publish it to make
it live. If you want to start over, discard it — your other forms are never affected.
**Editing an existing form**: open any form in AI draft mode using the AI Edit action.
Griffin Assist targets only the elements you ask about, so editing a field label
or adding a new page does not rebuild the whole form or disturb fields and logic
you already configured.
**Chat Mode**: toggle Chat Mode on to ask questions, explore ideas, and get suggestions
before committing to a change. Griffin Assist returns clickable action buttons so
you can review a suggestion and apply it with one click. Structural suggestions
such as adding a new section, page, or row appear alongside copy advice.
**Suggestion pills**: each element type in the builder has a set of context-aware
suggestion pills — one-tap actions tailored to what is currently selected. Improving
a field label, polishing a description, adding a file upload hint, or refining dropdown
options all have their own targeted pills. Translation is also available as a one-
tap action that rewrites all labels, descriptions, options, and button text into
your target language.
Griffin Assist requires an active AI provider connection. You can connect OpenAI,
Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, or Mistral from the AI settings tab using your
own API key. Griffin Assist also works with WordPress 7 AI Connector keys — if a
provider is already configured site-wide through WordPress Connectors, Griffin Assist
uses it automatically with no separate setup. A data-sharing consent step is required
before Griffin Assist sends any form data to an external provider.
#### Gutenberg and advanced workflows
GriffinForms works with Gutenberg and also includes a stronger technical foundation
for advanced evaluators, including a documented REST API surface, capability-aware
access control, device management for protected companion routes, and webhook-ready
architecture. Multi-step submissions use AJAX handling with server-side validation
and anti-spam checks, which helps longer forms feel more responsive while still
enforcing validation on the backend. Post-submission actions such as emails and
other follow-up work can also be processed in the background, which helps more complex
workflows stay smoother after a form is submitted.
These are not the first thing most users need, but they are there when the deployment
calls for them — whether the form is a simple contact form or a complex multi-step
workflow.

#### Privacy-conscious by default
Form submissions stay in WordPress by default. External services are only involved
when you enable them, such as payments, CAPTCHA, or email delivery providers. See
the External Services section below for details.
GriffinForms also includes per-form compliance profiles (Standard, GDPR, and HIPAA-
ready) with submission hashing, layout snapshots, configurable retention policies,
and WordPress personal data export and erase integration when those workflows matter.

## GYIK
### Can I build multi-step forms in WordPress?
Yes. Use pages in the builder to create multi-step forms with clear navigation between
steps.
### Can GriffinForms create WordPress users from form submissions?
Yes. GriffinForms includes a dedicated Accounts workflow for WordPress user registration.
You can map form fields to account creation, choose duplicate-account behavior,
and use immediate, pending, or manual-review account flows depending on the form.
### Can one form submission create more than one WordPress account?
Yes. If the mapped email field is iterable, one submission can fan out into multiple
account actions. GriffinForms treats those as separate target account actions in
the runtime and admin UI.
### Can I create application forms with file uploads?
Yes. GriffinForms supports upload fields with multi-file selection, file-type checks,
size limits, file-count limits, and related upload controls, which makes it a good
fit for application-style forms, support requests, and document collection workflows.
### Can I collect payments with Stripe or PayPal?
Yes. GriffinForms supports both Stripe and PayPal for payment forms and payment-
related workflows inside the form flow, including review-and-pay steps and resume
links for pending payments.
### Can GriffinForms send email through SMTP, SendGrid, or Mailgun?
Yes. GriffinForms supports WordPress mail, Custom SMTP, SendGrid, and Mailgun for
notifications and autoresponders.
### Does GriffinForms support reusable email messages and merge variables?
Yes. GriffinForms includes reusable messages for notifications and autoresponders,
along with merge-variable support so message content can be personalized from submission
data. It also supports mapping autoresponders to different email fields inside the
same form when the submitter and recipient are not the same person, and mapping
admin alerts to different recipients when teams need different messages.
### Does GriffinForms include spam protection?
Yes. GriffinForms supports reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, and a silent
honeypot, along with native rate limiting on both submissions and file uploads.
Multiple layers can be combined independently of each other.
### Why aren’t my WordPress form notification emails being delivered?
WordPress relies on the PHP mail() function by default, which many hosts block or
rate-limit — that is the most common reason form emails never arrive. GriffinForms
includes built-in support for Custom SMTP, SendGrid, and Mailgun so you can route
notifications through a reliable delivery provider directly from the form settings,
without installing a separate SMTP plugin. Notifications are queued and processed
in the background, so form submissions are never blocked by email API latency. Go
to GriffinForms Settings Email to configure a delivery provider.
### Does GriffinForms support conditional logic?
Yes. GriffinForms supports more than simple show and hide rules. You can use conditional
logic across fields, rows, and the form itself to control visibility, labels, headings,
success messages, redirects, and submit behavior based on user input.
### Does GriffinForms include native logs?
Yes. Native logging includes timeline-style logs, searchable categories, submission
history, and stronger troubleshooting visibility when logging is enabled.
### Does GriffinForms keep settings history for troubleshooting?
Yes. GriffinForms keeps a short history trail for global settings changes, which
helps when you need to see what changed, when it changed, and who changed it on
a production site.
### Can I style forms to match my site?
Yes. GriffinForms includes a theme system with built-in themes and deeper styling
controls, so you can modify existing themes or create new ones with control over
form inputs, buttons, and states.
### Where are submissions stored?
Submissions are stored in your WordPress database. File uploads are stored in the
WordPress uploads directory.
### Can I see incomplete multi-step submissions in the admin area?
Yes. GriffinForms supports partial submissions, so incomplete multi-step entries
can still remain visible in the admin area.
### Does it work with Gutenberg?
Yes. You can use GriffinForms with Gutenberg and other shortcode-friendly editor
or page-builder workflows.
### Can I reuse forms or templates across sites?
Yes. GriffinForms supports reusable templates as well as JSON export and import,
which makes it easier to repeat proven workflows and speed up setup across forms
or sites.
### Is GriffinForms only for contact forms?
No — GriffinForms works great as a WordPress contact form plugin, and it handles
much more. The free core includes multi-step forms, user registration, file uploads,
Stripe and PayPal payments, conditional logic, and MailChimp integration, so the
same plugin that builds a simple contact form can also handle structured workflows
without an upgrade.
### Does GriffinForms include GDPR or HIPAA compliance features?
Yes. GriffinForms includes per-form compliance profiles (Standard, GDPR, and HIPAA-
ready) with submission hashing, layout snapshots, configurable retention, and WordPress
personal data export and erase integration.
### Does the builder warn me about form configuration problems?
Yes. The builder includes a live checks system that shows error, warning, and info
counts as you edit. It covers spam configuration, email setup, compliance risks,
registration mapping issues, and layout problems — so you can catch issues before
the form goes live.
### Where can I find documentation?
See the docs at [GriffinForms Docs](https://griffinforms.com/docs/).
### Is GriffinForms free?
The core plugin is free and includes multi-step forms, user registration, file uploads,
Stripe and PayPal payments, MailChimp integration, conditional logic, compliance
profiles, and AI-assisted building — with no paid tier required for any of those
features. GriffinForms Pro is an optional paid add-on that adds Square payments,
Google Sheets sync, Klaviyo marketing integration, premium field types (Signature,
Rating, Rich Text, Image Selection, Likert Scale), submission export, and frontend
submission editing.
### What does GriffinForms Pro include?
GriffinForms Pro adds Square payments, Google Sheets sync, and Klaviyo marketing
integration, along with premium field types — Signature, Rating, Rich Text, Image
Selection, and Likert Scale — submission export (CSV, JSON, Excel, Printable HTML),
and frontend submission editing with secure edit URLs, access policies, time-window
controls, and edit history with rollback. All Pro features work with conditional
logic, multi-step forms, and compliance profiles. The core plugin remains free and
fully functional without Pro.
### Can submitters edit their own submissions after they submit?
Yes, with GriffinForms Pro. Pro generates secure, time-limited edit URLs that you
can send to submitters. You control the access policy (who can edit), the edit window(
how long after submission), and age limits per form. All edits are tracked in the
submission history timeline with rollback support so admins can see exactly what
changed.
### Does GriffinForms integrate with MailChimp?
Yes. GriffinForms includes a built-in MailChimp integration that subscribes form
submitters to a MailChimp audience as part of the submission flow. You can map form
fields to MailChimp merge tags, assign tags, and control consent behavior per form.
MailChimp credentials are configured globally in Integrations, and sync runs in
the background so the form submission is not blocked by API latency.
### Can I migrate my existing forms from another plugin?
Yes. GriffinForms includes a guided migration tool that imports forms and submissions
from Contact Form 7, WPForms Lite, Ninja Forms, and Formidable Forms free. Go to
GriffinForms Import to get started — GriffinForms detects installed plugins automatically
and shows you what it can bring across. Migrated forms behave like any GriffinForms
form, so you can edit, extend, and layer in conditional logic without rebuilding
from scratch.
### How does GriffinForms compare to Contact Form 7?
Contact Form 7 is a lightweight plugin built around a shortcode textarea editor
with no visual builder, no submission storage by default, and spam protection limited
to its own CAPTCHA module. GriffinForms includes a visual drag-and-drop builder,
stores all submissions in WordPress, supports multi-step forms, user registration,
file uploads, Stripe and PayPal payments, and four independent spam protection layers.
See the full comparison: https://griffinforms.com/solutions/contact-form-7-alternative.
php
### How does GriffinForms compare to WPForms?
WPForms Lite includes a visual builder and basic Stripe support, but multi-step
forms, conditional logic, file uploads, and user registration all require a Pro
licence. In GriffinForms, all of those features are included in the free core plugin
with no upgrade required. See the full comparison: https://griffinforms.com/solutions/
wpforms-alternative.php
### How does GriffinForms compare to Gravity Forms?
Gravity Forms requires an annual licence starting at $59/year. GriffinForms is free,
includes built-in compliance profiles, AI-assisted form building with Griffin Assist,
and a builder checks system that surfaces errors and warnings before you publish.

## Vélemények
### [Powerful registration workflows without the bloat](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/powerful-registration-workflows-without-the-bloat/)
[fictbase09](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fictbase09/) 2026.05.27.
Really impressed with what GriffinForms offers for a free plugin. The drag-and-drop
builder is clean and intuitive – I had a multi-step registration form with conditional
logic up and running quickly without touching any code. The user registration workflow
is genuinely well thought out, with options for immediate account creation, pending
approval, or payment-gated signup. Partial submission saving is a great touch so
users don’t lose progress. No upsell walls, no bloat. Exactly what a form builder
should be. Highly recommend for anyone who needs more than a basic contact form.
### [Lightweight and smooth](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightweight-and-smooth-2/)
[vikaslanjewar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vikaslanjewar/) 2026.01.12.
GriffinForms is a delightfully lightweight yet surprisingly capable form builder.
It feels refreshingly intuitive — you can spin up clean, professional forms in minutes
without wrestling with cluttered menus or bloated settings. The interface is smooth,
the customization options are thoughtful, and everything just works the way you
hope it will. A lovely choice for anyone who wants simple, elegant form creation
without the fuss.
### [Reliable, Fast, and Easy to Use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reliable-fast-and-easy-to-use/)
[akchandan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akchandan/) 2026.01.12.
I have used 3 different form plugins within last year, and always ran into some
sort of issue. I am not technically very sound, and wanted something that doesn’t
require all the fuzz and yet offer all the features. And boy, did GriffinForms surprised
me or what. I chose it on a whim really, not expecting much. But more I use it,
more I believe this might be a next big thing in forms plugin. The developers have
launched some truly great updates as well and I can see how far they have come within
a short space of few months. Really happy to be one early adopter- keep up the good
work guys!
### [Efficient and free](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/efficient-and-free/)
[kanwarkimi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kanwarkimi/) 2025.06.10.
Efficient and free plugin that is useful for site owners and developers. The interface
is clean and easy to navigate, even for non-tech users. It handles the tasks like
contact forms or signups without issues. Great for small sites that need something
that works without the bloat. Setup is quick and it runs smooth.

## Változási napló
#### 3.2.3.0 – 2026-06-10
**Minor**
* Introduced a Column Manager for all list views. A columns icon in the list toolbar
opens a modal where you can show or hide columns, drag them into any order, choose
a display variant for columns that support multiple formats (such as showing
a username with or without the full name), set a custom percentage width per
column, and control how many items appear per page. Preferences are saved site-
wide and persist across page loads.
* Added optional Last Edited and Last Editor columns to all list surfaces that
track edit history. Last Editor supports a username-only display variant.
* Added Klaviyo as a recognised marketing integration in Core. A Klaviyo icon appears
on submissions that have been synced, and the single submission page shows a
Klaviyo marketing activity card alongside other integration cards. Full sync
functionality activates with GriffinForms Pro.
* Fixed the single log entry page so the related-item ID cell renders its „Open”
link as a clickable link instead of printing raw HTML.
* Corrected Column Manager label mismatches where the modal showed a different
name than the table heading for four columns: Attachments (submissions), Signals(
forms and submissions), Log Type (logs), and Date / Time (logs).
* Renamed the internal `isread` column key to `readstatus` for clarity; existing
preferences migrate automatically on next save.
#### 3.2.2.0 – 2026-06-08
**Patch**
* Square is now a recognised payment option in GriffinForms. Full payment processing
is activated by the Pro plugin.
* Fixed the payment field builder preview so a single product card no longer stretches
to fill the full field width when only one product is configured.
* Fixed the payment field in the Gutenberg block preview so configured products
now render as actual cards instead of a static placeholder.
* Fixed the address field country dropdown in the Gutenberg block preview inheriting
an unwanted minimum height from the global select control rule.
#### 3.2.1.0 – 2026-06-06
**Patch**
* The command palette resting pill now updates immediately when the form name is
saved via the inline canvas input or the Form Options modal — no page reload
required.
* The native `
