No jQuery. * **Multi-step forms:** split long forms into steps with a progress bar – without JavaScript, all steps are simply shown one below the other. * **File uploads:** documents and images with size and type limits, real content checks, protected storage, download for administrators and optional email attachments. * **Conditional fields:** show a field only if another field has a certain value. * **Privacy controls:** consent field, automatic retention periods (including uploaded files), shortened IP addresses, export and erasure via the WordPress privacy tools, suggested privacy policy text. No external services. * **Spam protection without captcha puzzles:** honeypot, timing check and rate limit. * **Clear error messages** directly at the field – no browser bubbles. * **All submissions in the dashboard:** overview with search and filter, detail view, CSV export (opens directly in Excel). * **Emails you can rely on:** notification and optional confirmation with placeholders such as {name}, delivery status per submission, test mail and SMTP detection. * **Reusable templates:** save any form as a template and use it on other pages. * **Switch in one click:** import your forms from Contact Form 7, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms and Fluent Forms – and take over old submissions stored by Flamingo (Contact Form 7) or WPForms. * **Accessibility check in the editor:** missing labels, duplicate labels, placeholder- only hints, empty choices or a too-light accent colour are pointed out while you build the form. * **Share templates:** export your saved templates as a file and import them on another website. * **Upload protection check:** a Site Health test verifies that uploaded files cannot be opened directly from the web and tells you how to fix it if they can( e.g. on nginx). Templates: contact, callback request, appointment request, feedback, quote request, job application (3 steps with CV upload). Field types: text line, email, phone, text area, dropdown, single and multiple choice, date, number, website, file upload, consent, step break. Translation-ready: English source strings. Available community translations are delivered through WordPress language packs; regional German translation sources are maintained separately. #### Privacy and external services ALPEG Forms does not connect to any external service. There is no tracking, no telemetry and no “phone home”. The only request the plugin makes is to your own website: the upload protection check requests a harmless test file from your own upload directory( Tools Site Health and the settings page). Submissions, uploaded files and settings stay in your own WordPress database and uploads folder. Emails are sent through WordPress (wp_mail) – or through your SMTP plugin, if you use one. Data is only removed automatically if you set a retention period, and only deleted on uninstall if you explicitly enable “Also remove all submissions, uploaded files and settings when deleting the plugin” in the settings. #### Accessibility Forms are tested against WCAG 2.2 AA: every field has a label, choice groups are announced correctly, error messages are linked to their field and announced to screen readers, focus moves to the first error and to the next step, and everything works with the keyboard. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * ALPEG Form Contact, request or feedback form – also with multiple steps and file uploads. Submissions show up in the dashboard under "ALPEG Forms". ## Installation 1. Upload and activate the plugin. 2. Click “Create contact page with form” under “ALPEG Forms” – or insert the “ALPEG Form” block into any page. 3. Publish. Done. ## FAQ ### Emails do not arrive? By default WordPress sends mail directly from the web server, which many providers do not deliver reliably. Install an SMTP plugin – ALPEG Forms uses its settings automatically. Under “ALPEG Forms Settings” you can send a test mail and see the last error. All submissions are always stored in the dashboard as well. ### Where are uploaded files stored? In wp-content/uploads/alpeg-forms/ with random file names. The directory is protected against direct access on Apache and IIS. On nginx, add this rule to your server block: ``` location ^~ /wp-content/uploads/alpeg-forms/ { deny all; } ``` Administrators download files through the dashboard, so the rule does not affect them. ### Does it work on multisite? Yes. Each site keeps its own submissions, files and settings. You can activate the plugin network-wide; new sites are set up automatically. ### Does it work with page caching? Yes. Forms do not depend on nonces that expire, so cached pages keep working. ### Which databases are supported? MySQL and MariaDB – everything WordPress officially runs on. ### I’m using another form plugin. Can I switch? Yes. Under “ALPEG Forms Import & export” your forms from Contact Form 7, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms and Fluent Forms are taken over as templates in one click. The source plugin does not even have to be active. Your pages and the old plugin stay untouched until you replace the form on a page. Submissions stored by Flamingo (Contact Form 7) or WPForms can be copied as well – never twice, and not if they are older than your retention period. ### Can I reuse a form on another website? Yes. Save the form as a template in the editor, then download it under “ALPEG Forms Import & export” and import the file on the other website. Recipient addresses are not part of the file. ### How do I report a security issue? Please do not post it in the support forum. Send it to security@alpeg-systems.com– see SECURITY.md for details. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ALPEG Forms” is open source software.
