Description

Nepa Forms Builder is a powerful yet lightweight WordPress contact form plugin. It lets you build fully custom forms using a visual editor, embed them anywhere using shortcodes, and manage every submission from a clean admin dashboard — all without writing a single line of code.

Key Features:

  • Visual Form Builder — Drag-and-drop fields including Text, Email, Textarea, Dropdown, Radio Buttons, and Checkboxes.
  • Shortcode Integration — Embed any form on any page or post using [nepa_form id="X"].
  • AJAX Submissions — Forms submit without any page reload for a smooth user experience.
  • Submission Management — View, mark as read, and delete entries from a dedicated admin dashboard.
  • CSV Export — Export all submissions for any form as a CSV file with a single click.
  • PDF Export — Download a PDF report of all submissions or a single submission.
  • Email Notifications — Receive a beautifully formatted HTML email notification for every new submission.
  • Per-Form Settings — Configure a custom success message, submit button label, and accent color for each form individually.
  • Secure by Default — All AJAX handlers use WordPress nonces, capability checks, and prepared database statements.
  • No Page Bloat — Frontend assets are loaded only on pages where a form shortcode is present.
  • Clean Uninstall — All plugin data, database tables, and options are removed upon deletion.

Installation

  1. Upload the nepa-forms-builder folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install it directly through the WordPress Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to the Nepa Forms Builder menu item in the admin panel.
  4. Click New Form to open the form builder and add your desired fields.
  5. Copy the shortcode shown in the Form Builder List (e.g., [nepa_form id="1"]).
  6. Paste the shortcode into any page, post, or widget to display the form.

FAQ

How do I embed a form on my page?

Use the shortcode [nepa_form id="X"] where X is the form ID displayed in the Form Builder List. You can add this shortcode to any page, post, or text widget.

Can I customize the form colors?

Yes. Each form has its own Primary Theme Color setting inside the form editor. The color is applied to the form border, labels, and the submit button, making it easy to match your site’s brand.

How do I export submissions?

Go to Inquiry Entries, select your form from the dropdown, and then click the Export CSV button in the page header. A CSV file containing all submissions for that form will be downloaded immediately.

What field types does the plugin support?

Nepa Forms Builder supports the following field types: Text, Email, Textarea, Dropdown Select, Checkboxes, and Radio Buttons. Each field can be marked as required or optional.

Where is my submission data stored?

All submission data is stored securely in your WordPress database in a dedicated custom table (wp_nepa_submissions). No data is sent to any external server.

Does the plugin work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?

Yes. Because Nepa Forms Builder uses standard WordPress shortcodes, the [nepa_form id="X"] shortcode works in any page builder that supports shortcode rendering.

Will the plugin data be deleted if I uninstall it?

Yes. When you delete the plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen (not just deactivate it), all custom database tables and stored options are permanently removed for a clean uninstall.
