The minified files in the `build/` and `assets/` directories are compiled from source. The full human-readable source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/ wpkoalaforms/koalaforms To build from source: 1. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/wpkoalaforms/koalaforms.git` 2. Run `npm install` 3. Run `npm run build` 4. Run `npm run build-vue` ### External Services #### Google reCAPTCHA This plugin optionally integrates with Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam form submissions. This feature is disabled by default and only active when a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key are configured in the plugin settings. **What it does:** Verifies that a form submission was made by a human and not an automated bot. **What data is sent and when:** * When a visitor loads a page containing a Koala Forms form with reCAPTCHA enabled, Google’s reCAPTCHA script is loaded from `https:// www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js`. This may send the visitor’s IP address and browser information to Google. * When a visitor submits a form, the reCAPTCHA response token is sent from your WordPress server to `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify` to verify the submission. No personal form field data is included in this request. **This data is sent to Google only when reCAPTCHA is enabled in the plugin settings.** * Service provider: Google LLC * Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/koalaforms/`, or install via the WordPress plugin screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **Koala Forms All Forms** in the WordPress admin menu. 4. Click **Add New Form**, enter a name, and click **Create Form**. 5. The form opens in the Gutenberg block editor — use the block inserter to add fields. 6. Publish the form, then copy the shortcode (e.g. `[KoalaForms form_id="123"]`) and paste it into any page or post. ## FAQ ### Do I need to know how to code? No. Forms are built using the Gutenberg block editor — add fields, configure settings, and publish. ### Can I create multi-step forms? Yes. Multi-step forms with step navigation are supported. Use the Step block to divide your form into sections. ### Where are form submissions stored? Submissions are stored in your WordPress database and are accessible from **Koala Forms Submissions** in the admin menu. ### How do I display a form on a page? After publishing a form, copy its shortcode from the Forms list (e.g. `[KoalaForms form_id="123"]`) and paste it into any page or post. ### Is it compatible with my theme? Koala Forms works with standard WordPress themes. The form output uses minimal markup and can be styled with CSS. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Koala Forms” is open source software.
