## Description

GriffinForms is a WordPress form builder for multi-step forms, user registration,
uploads, payments, and forms that need more than a single message field. It gives
you stronger control over how the form looks, behaves, and continues after submission.

It is a better fit for registration forms, applications, requests, uploads, and 
payment collection than for a simple one-page contact form. If you need forms that
do real work, GriffinForms is built for that next step.

#### Why teams choose GriffinForms

 * **Multi-step forms**: break longer forms into pages so users can complete structured
   flows without feeling overwhelmed.
 * **WordPress user registration**: create WordPress users from form submissions
   with immediate, pending-activation, or manual-review workflows, plus 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 payments**: build payment forms with product-style workflows, product
   images, a cart-style review step, and resume links for pending payments.
 * **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, Cloudflare Turnstile, or hCaptcha,
   and combine them with native rate limiting and backend anti-spam checks.
 * **Conditional logic**: go beyond simple show and hide with rules that can change
   labels, values, headings, success messages, redirects, and submit behavior.
 * **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
   timelines, logs, metadata, and settings history when troubleshooting production
   forms.

#### Best-fit use cases

 * WordPress user registration forms with account creation or admin review
 * Multi-step request and intake forms
 * Application forms with file uploads
 * Support workflows with conditional fields
 * Payment forms for donations, simple orders, or paid requests
 * Multi-step forms where incomplete submissions should still stay visible in the
   admin area
 * Forms that need stronger styling control, clearer notifications, and better admin
   visibility

#### Built for structured form workflows

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.

#### Stripe payments and product workflows

If you enable Stripe, 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 also supports a fuller review-and-pay pattern with product-style selections,
product images, and cart-style summaries. For pending payments, resume links can
bring users back so they can continue from where they left off.

#### 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 show a payment step only when a paid option is selected, then
change the success message or redirect users to a different next step after submission.

#### 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 such as Custom SMTP, SendGrid, and Mailgun. That
gives you more flexibility when you need more dependable delivery for production
forms.

[Mail merge placeholders](https://griffinforms.com/docs/user-docs/email-and-notifications/mail-merge-placeholders.php)

#### Reusable messages and merge variables

GriffinForms includes a reusable message system for admin alerts and autoresponders.
You can build messages once, reuse them across forms, and insert merge variables
so subjects and message bodies can pull values from the submission at send time.
That makes it easier to maintain more personalized and more consistent email workflows
without rewriting the same message for every form.

GriffinForms also supports mapping autoresponders to different email fields inside
the same form. For example, a staff member can submit a form on behalf of a client,
student, or employee, while the correct confirmation message is still sent to the
email field for that actual person.

Admin alerts can also be mapped per recipient, so different staff members or teams
can receive different messages for the same submission. For example, one alert can
go to admissions, another to finance, and another to operations when each team needs
different context.

#### Easier first-form experience

GriffinForms includes a guided onboarding flow to help new users create and publish
a useful first form more quickly. That makes it easier to start with a working form
instead of a blank builder and then expand into more advanced flows later. Starter
forms and reusable templates also help teams move faster when they need to repeat
similar workflows across forms or sites.

#### 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 help show GriffinForms is
built for more than a simple one-page contact form.

#### 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 early compliance groundwork such as retention settings,
WordPress privacy-tool integration, and per-form data-capture controls when those
workflows matter.

## FAQ

### 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?

Yes. Stripe can be enabled 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, Cloudflare Turnstile, and hCaptcha, along 
with native rate limiting and backend anti-spam checks.

### 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?

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.

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!

 * Fix: Prevented duplicate guardrail audit logs in repeated request lifecycle callbacks.
 * Fix: Guarded admin language loading path against abstract class instantiation
   fatal in API list execution paths.

#### 2.3.4.0 – 2026-03-03

 * Feature: Enhanced Create Form modal with improved template browsing, smoother
   navigation accents, and clearer search-state guidance.
 * Feature: Blank form creation now initializes with a starter layout by default(
   one page, one row, one full-width column).
 * Feature: Builder now prevents deleting the last remaining page, row, or column
   to preserve minimum valid form structure.
 * Improvement: Auto-starter layout behavior is now enforced in add-page/add-row
   flows with server-side safeguards and client fallback protection.

#### 2.3.3.0 – 2026-02-28

 * Fix: Isolated Gutenberg block preview theme CSS per block instance so multiple
   GriffinForms blocks on one page keep independent theme rendering.
 * Fix: Corrected address field city/postal joined-input corner behavior in builder
   preview so adjoining borders remain square.
 * Improvement: Refined list delete confirmation modals with clearer destructive-
   action hierarchy and improved guard/error behavior.
 * Fix: Resolved bulk form delete fatal error by adding shared child-relation sync
   support used by delete cascades.
 * Improvement: Replaced passive builder new-element fade with a clearer insertion
   animation and reduced-motion fallback.

#### 2.3.2.0 – 2026-02-14

 * Fix: Added themed/no-theme validation parity so invalid controls are clearly 
   highlighted in themed frontend forms.
 * Fix: Removed leftover frontend theme asset debug `error_log()` output.
 * Fix: Prevented `Undefined array key "email_domain"` warning in excluded email
   domain validation messaging.
 * Fix: Corrected relation sync on page delete so `formpages` stays consistent and
   form list page counts remain accurate.
 * Fix: Stabilized builder form-tree toggle behavior and resolved jerky right-sidebar
   accordion close motion.
 * Fix: Improved no-theme responsive behavior in narrow containers (row/action button
   stacking) and aligned Gutenberg no-theme preview button styling with frontend
   defaults.

#### 2.3.1.0 – 2026-02-08

 * Fix: Restored a clear phone country dropdown caret across frontend, form builder,
   and Gutenberg preview renderers.
 * Improvement: Phone country select sizing and compact behavior refined to avoid
   overlap and unbalanced wide-field layouts.
 * Fix: Phone input-group border sync now preserves asymmetric theme border styles(
   per-side width/style/color) across renderers.
 * Improvement: Message editor now preserves allowlisted HTML better between Code/
   Visual modes.
 * Improvement: Message save sanitization now uses a dedicated allowlist policy 
   for email-safe HTML (including heading tags).
 * Fix: Removed invalid frontend theme stylesheet dependency causing `WP_Styles::
   add` notices on newer WordPress versions.

#### 2.3.0.0 – 2026-02-06

 * Feature: Compliance profiles (Standard, GDPR, HIPAA‑ready) with per‑form inherit/
   custom overrides.
 * Feature: Submission metadata timeline with page + payment events and form version
   context.
 * Feature: Builder warnings pipeline with status bar counts and overlays.
 * Feature: WordPress Tools export/erase integration for GriffinForms data.
 * Improvement: Compliance downloads now include full layout snapshots for traceability.
 * Improvement: GDPR profile masks IPs and stores summarized user agent details.
