Description

Torro Forms is a Drag & Drop form builder plugin that is easy to use for administrators, yet flexible to extend for developers. The plugin was made with both user groups in mind to ensure that you can do exactly what you want without getting stuck in complicated setups. In addition, our plugin looks and behaves in the same way that the rest of WordPress does. If you’re tired of seeing bloated, “all-fancy” user interfaces that distract you from what you actually want to achieve – be relieved, we are too.

Torro Forms can serve several purposes. Its functionality goes beyond simple contact forms (although you could of course technically create one if you wanted to). Whether you’re interested in a survey solution or whether you need internal forms that you can restrict to a specific group of users – Torro Forms is the way to go. And if you don’t find what you’ve been looking for, be aware that our plugin is extendable via several APIs – we encourage you to do it yourself instead of locking you with what we already provide.

Torro Forms was made with a specific attention to polls and surveys. Form submissions are permanently stored in the database so that they can be browsed, exported and evaluated.

Key Features

Multi-Page Forms,
Shortcodes to embed forms and live results,
Excel, CSV export,
Actions like unlimited email-notifications and redirections,
Protectors like Google reCaptcha and honeypot and link counting,
Access Controls for visitors, users or by timerange or number of submissions,
Evaluators for displaying results with bar, pie or donut charts,
WP-CLI commands,
REST-API endpoints,
Templating of elements,
PHP API for developers,
and much more.

Klasse Plugin mit mächtigen Funktionen. Und das komplett kostenlos. Schade, dass ich das Plugin erst jetzt entdeckt habe.

I tried a lot of plugins and finally I found Torro Forms. I love the anti-Spam functions. The Multi-Page forms is incredible easy to use. I am totally satisfied and recommend that Plugin.

After years of various form plugins I now installed torro forms and wondered why I didn't start with this one. It is a real powerful tool to create and configure forms and actions. No other form plugin provides half as much functionality as this one.

After working a few hours on Torro, to extend it with new form elements it becomes more and more to my favorite form plugin. When i read the source code i was just amazed, how many thoughts about customization and extendings floated into this project. It's definitely worthy to get 5 Stars!

Wir hatten eine Kundenanforderung für eine mehrstufiges Bewerbungsformular auf dem Tisch und konnten dank Torro Forms ein Lösung erstellen, ohne eine eigene Zeile PHP-Code zu schreiben. Für das Styling haben ebenfalls wenige CSS Klassen ausgereicht, da man auch jedem Element selber eigene Klassen mitgeben kann. Ein paar Ideen für die Weiterentwicklung: - Die Möglichkeit dem gesamten Formular ein CSS Klasse geben zu können. - Beim Kopieren von Formularen geht die Zuordnung von Elementen in E-Mails verloren, da diese über IDs erfolgt. Da wäre ein Hinweis gut oder direkt ein parser der die neuen Element-IDs ersetzt 😉 - Beim Export von Mehrzeiligen Texteingaben als Excel ist HTML enthalten (<p> & <br>)

1.0.0-beta.9

This pre-release is a major rewrite that fully breaks backward-compatibility development-wise. Only user-generated content remains intact. The plugin now requires at least PHP 5.6 and WordPress 4.8. If you have already created extensions for Torro Forms, you need to adjust them in order for them to work with the refactored version. Rest assured that none of this will happen again, but we are still in Beta and the previous versions had some severe architectural issues. Please read more about it in our blog post if you’re interested!
