    Hi,

    I am working for a local council. We have a website that has been designed by a third party using wordpress. Today, we are looking into adding new functionalities to this website:

    We want to allow kids parents to to file in various informations about their kids, like a a health form that would gather all the usefull information we need to have about their kids (Allergies, etc), register to kids activities, outings, etcs…

    For this, I am looking for a form management plunging. Unfortunately, all the one I found so far are designed for contact or feedback form: if a user gets back to the from page, all they see is a blank form again. We need them to be able to modify/update a form.

    We also need them to be able to add new form of the same type ( if they have several kids for exemple).

    Can anyone suggest a tool that would help us doing this for us, without having to code it all ourself? We would prefer if this was a wordpress plugin, but would consider running a specific site for this.

    Thank in advance,

    Tophee

    Very much a piece of string of question, their are plenty of form plugins out there, for free the biggies include Contact Form 7 and Ninja Forms. There is also paid for solutions like Gravity Forms and plenty of others.

    So worth looking at https://wordpress.org/plugins/

    Hi Tophee – There are not many form plugins out there that come to mind that would fit all your needs. My first though is instead of a typical form is that you need something to actually store the data on the specific user instead of submitting the data. If it were a user profile type form it would likely re-load the info when the user comes back to the form. As Tim suggested there are commercial plugins that offer this – I personally recommend Ninja Forms (free) and one of their extensions (paid) which allows editing user profile fields. I believe you can create custom user profile data using this but am not 100% sure.

    For your specific situation contacting Ninja Forms or maybe Gravity Forms support would likely get you a better answer as to how you could best do this as it is a bit of a specialized need.
