I know there have been a few threads about this, but they are a bit old and outdated now.
I am looking for a form plugin, as I am migrating from Gravity Forms. I read that Fluent Forms is CP-compatible, but I could not find anything on their website. Also, how long will they be compatible for?
So, before I build my own form plugin, what is your opinion? What good form plugins are out there that won’t break at some point?
I am using HTML Forms WordPress Plugin in my sites. works like a charm.
I have been able to keep Contact Form 7 and Ninja Forms working.
I found ‘Chained Quiz’ also works well to make forms.
But you are right, making your own is the surest way to avoid having an upgrade break it.
@ElisabettaCarrara But for how long?
@EliteStarServices CF7 works for me, too. Ninja Forms is too big, code-wise.
I am thinking of building my own with only what I need. I have the same setup for lots of my clients.
I do not know for how much time it will work.
As of now I know it works without conflicts, and I have TWO possible actions that might answer that question down the line:
I think next week I will contact them and see if they are willing to support CP first - if they are it’s less work for us 
, in case they do not answer or they say a no I will think about forking.
I thought code base of CF7 is big too? So overkill when wanting a simple form.
@Guido07111975 True.
So I built my own. This is only the first iteration, to get me through the first website migration from WP to CP, where I had Gravity Forms installed. I might develop it further, based on my needs.
Nice form, super easy to use!
Readme says contributer rbplugins?
When something isn’t filled in (correctly), whole form resets, and I must start over. Is this something that can be improved?
I will fix the form reset.
Contributor is wrong, I must have copied it from one of the plugins I was getting inspiration from.
And the mail subject is “New submission on”. Guess it should be followed by site name.
Guess this is not the right place to report issues, next time I will post at your GH.
I made a small change, as I think the merge tag was not working. And yes, let’s keep this thread higher level, and report bugs in GitHub.
As a conclusion, there is no dedicated form plugin for ClassicPress. Hopefully, I’ll be able to grow FX Forms into something nice, but simple. “simple” is what I’m aiming for.
This is my mistake, my form did not have a name/title!
Validation is better after your update. I like it.
You know, I also had a “very simple” form plugin, but during time more and more features were added (mostly on user request). So it’s less simple now 
.
I always fight back on new features, unless they are really necessary.
I will first make sure I (personally) am happy with the plugin for my clients’ needs (contact form, appointment form, viewing form), and then I will consider adding more.
Using HTML forms for simple contact forms, but also USP Forms Pro at https://plugin-planet.com/ - had a good deal on special offer for multiple sites (one off purchase), a bit complex, but just about anything doable with forms and support good. No issues on ClassicPress
