Flinkform is a form builder that lives entirely inside the WordPress Block Editor. Forms are composed from native blocks (block.json<\/code> v3), styled through theme.json<\/code> design tokens, and powered by the Interactivity API \u2014 no separate admin UI, no shortcodes, no jQuery.<\/p>\n\n

How it works<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Block Editor native<\/strong> \u2014 forms are built with block.json<\/code> and the Interactivity API, directly inside the editor<\/li>\n
  • theme.json styling<\/strong> \u2014 forms inherit your theme's typography, colours and spacing automatically<\/li>\n
  • Modern stack<\/strong> \u2014 WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.1+, no jQuery, frontend JS under 15 KB gzipped<\/li>\n
  • Multi-step forms<\/strong> \u2014 split long forms into steps with a Page Break block, included in the free core<\/li>\n
  • Conditional logic<\/strong> \u2014 show\/hide fields based on user input, included in the free core<\/li>\n
  • WCAG 2.1 AA<\/strong> \u2014 full keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatible, aria-live announcements<\/li>\n
  • Privacy by design<\/strong> \u2014 no external services, no tracking cookies, no IP tracking \u2014 everything stays on your server<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Features (free core)<\/h4>\n\n

    Form building<\/strong>\n* 13 field types: Text, Email, Textarea, Number, Date, URL, Phone, Select, Radio, Checkbox, Toggle, Hidden, Section Heading\n* Dedicated Consent field for privacy-policy agreement\n* Multi-step forms with Page Break block, per-step validation and progress indicator (bar, dots or numbers)\n* Conditional logic \u2014 show\/hide fields, skip steps, gate the submit button\n* Two-column layout with per-field full-width override<\/p>\n\n

    Styling<\/strong>\n* Automatic theme.json inheritance (colours, typography, spacing, border radius)\n* Style panel: primary colour, field style (bordered\/soft\/underline\/minimal), label position (above\/beside\/floating\/placeholder), submit button style (fill\/outline\/ghost)<\/p>\n\n

    Notifications<\/strong>\n* Admin notification email on every submission (configurable recipient, merge tags)\n* Optional confirmation email to the submitter\n* Sends through your site's standard WordPress mail (wp_mail<\/code>)<\/p>\n\n

    Spam protection<\/strong>\n* Always-on honeypot + signed time-based check (zero configuration)\n* Built-in proof-of-work challenge with accessible math fallback for visitors without JavaScript\n* No external service, no API keys, no tracking cookies, 100% GDPR-friendly<\/p>\n\n

    After submission<\/strong>\n* Success message or redirect to a custom thank-you URL (with open-redirect protection)\n* Optional submission ID and form ID query parameters for conversion tracking (GA4, Meta Pixel, Plausible, etc.)<\/p>\n\n

    Admin<\/strong>\n* Submissions list with search, filter by form, sort, bulk actions\n* Single-submission detail view with all field labels and values\n* Mark as read\/unread\n* Per-form data retention with automatic daily purge<\/p>\n\n

    Privacy<\/h3>\n\n

    Flinkform is built with privacy by default. Here is what the free core does and does not do:<\/p>\n\n

    What the free core stores:<\/strong>\n* Form submissions (the field values visitors enter) in a dedicated database table ({prefix}flinkform_submissions<\/code>)<\/p>\n\n

    What the free core does NOT do:<\/strong>\n* It stores no IP addresses and no browser user-agent strings\n* It sets no tracking, analytics or marketing cookies. Flinkform sets exactly one strictly-necessary cookie \u2014 flinkform_flash<\/code> (lifetime ~60 seconds, httpOnly) \u2014 and only when a form submission fails validation, to carry the error message and the visitor's input across the page reload. Successful submissions set no cookie at all\n* It contacts no external service<\/p>\n\n

    Data retention:<\/strong>\n* By default, submissions are retained until you delete them. To comply with the storage-limitation principle (GDPR Art. 5), set a per-form retention period (Form block \u2192 Data Retention) and Flinkform deletes older submissions automatically each day\n* Individual submissions can be deleted from the admin submissions screen at any time<\/p>\n\n

    Data deletion:<\/strong>\n* All free-core data (the submissions table) is permanently removed when the plugin is uninstalled through the WordPress admin\n* Flinkform integrates with WordPress's privacy tools (Tools > Export Personal Data \/ Erase Personal Data) to support data-subject access and erasure requests<\/p>\n\n

    Source Code<\/h3>\n\n

    The complete, uncompiled source code (including the src\/<\/code> directory with the\nunminified JavaScript\/CSS that compiles into build\/<\/code>) is publicly available at:\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/dennisbuchwald\/Flinkform<\/p>\n\n

    Build instructions (Node.js 18+ and npm required):\n1. Clone the repository: git clone https:\/\/github.com\/dennisbuchwald\/Flinkform.git<\/code>\n2. Install dependencies: npm install<\/code>\n3. Build the compiled assets into build\/<\/code>: npm run build<\/code><\/p>\n\n

    The build is powered by @wordpress\/scripts<\/code> (webpack). The src\/<\/code> sources are\nexcluded from the distributed plugin zip to keep it small; this repository is\nthe canonical, reviewable source.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Upload the flinkform<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code><\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> screen in WordPress<\/li>\n
    3. Open any page or post in the Block Editor<\/li>\n
    4. Insert the Form<\/strong> block (search for \"Flinkform\" or \"Form\")<\/li>\n
    5. Add fields, configure settings in the block inspector, publish \u2014 done<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n

      Is Flinkform free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. Flinkform is GPLv2-licensed and completely free \u2014 including multi-step forms and conditional logic. Everything you need to build and run real forms is in the core.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What WordPress version do I need?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      WordPress 6.5 or higher and PHP 8.1 or higher. Flinkform uses modern WordPress APIs (Interactivity API, block.json v3, viewScriptModule) that are not available in older versions.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does Flinkform work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. Flinkform reads your theme's design tokens from theme.json<\/code> and inherits colours, typography, spacing and border radius automatically. Forms look native on any modern WordPress theme \u2014 tested with GeneratePress, Twenty Twenty-Five, Astra and Kadence.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does Flinkform support multi-step forms?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes, in the free core. Insert a Page Break<\/strong> block between fields to split the form into steps, choose a progress indicator style (bar, dots or numbers), and benefit from per-step validation. Steps can even be skipped conditionally based on earlier answers.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How does the spam protection work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Flinkform uses a layered approach that requires no setup:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      1. Honeypot<\/strong> \u2014 a hidden field that bots fill in but humans never see<\/li>\n
      2. Signed time check<\/strong> \u2014 submissions faster than a couple of seconds after page load are rejected; the timestamp is cryptographically signed so bots cannot forge it<\/li>\n
      3. Proof-of-work challenge<\/strong> \u2014 the visitor's browser solves a small computational puzzle in the background; visitors without JavaScript get a simple math question instead<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        No external service is contacted. No tracking cookies are set. No personal data is shared.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is Flinkform GDPR-compliant?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Flinkform is designed with privacy by default \u2014 see the Privacy section below for the full detail. In short: no IP addresses or user-agent strings are stored, no data ever leaves your server, no external spam service is used, and Flinkform integrates with WordPress's privacy tools for data-subject access and erasure requests.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        My notification emails don't arrive. What can I do?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Email deliverability depends on your host. Many hosts send wp_mail()<\/code> unreliably. If your notifications don't arrive, install a dedicated SMTP plugin to route mail through a proper provider \u2014 it will handle delivery for Flinkform too.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I redirect to a thank-you page after submission?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. In the block inspector's \"After Submit\" panel, choose \"Redirect to URL\" and enter your thank-you page URL (validated against open redirects). Optionally append the submission ID and form ID as query parameters for conversion tracking.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

        0.4.2<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • i18n: block attribute defaults (success message, submit label, consent text) are now translated at render time - existing forms on non-English sites display the correct language without manual editing<\/li>\n
        • i18n: complete German (de_DE) translation - all frontend text, editor UI, admin screens and validation messages<\/li>\n
        • i18n: load bundled translations via load_plugin_textdomain() so they work without waiting for translate.wordpress.org<\/li>\n
        • Fix: the \"Add field\" editor button no longer inherits a 62 px font-size when the form block is placed inside a Spectra\/UAGB container<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          0.4.0<\/h4>\n\n

          • Renamed the plugin to Flinkform (new slug, text domain, prefixes flinkform_<\/code>\/FLINKFORM_<\/code>, block namespace flinkform\/*<\/code>)<\/li>\n
          • Security: the spam time-check timestamp is now HMAC-signed and form-bound, so it can no longer be forged<\/li>\n
          • Security: additional sanitisation on the notification Reply-To header<\/li>\n
          • Reliability: the daily retention purge is now guarded against overlapping cron runs<\/li>\n
          • Corrected the FAQ: multi-step forms are part of the free core (and always were since 0.2.7)<\/li>\n
          • Fixed the plugin and author URIs to use a resolvable host (www.dennisbuchwald.de)<\/li>\n
          • Documented the public source repository and build steps in the readme (Source Code section)<\/li>\n
          • Output escaping: conditional-logic data attributes are now escaped late at render time (esc_attr), and submission detail values are output via wp_kses_post()<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            0.3.0<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Renamed all WordPress-global prefixes to satisfy WordPress.org naming requirements<\/li>\n
            • Revised readme description to remove promotional language<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              0.2.9<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • WordPress.org Plugin Check pass: documented the safe direct custom-table queries, fixed admin sort-order input handling, sanitised spam\/honeypot inputs \u2014 no functional change<\/li>\n
              • Resolved all Plugin Check errors and warnings (output escaping is handled internally; queries are prepared)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                0.2.8<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Added a dedicated Consent field (GDPR), per-form retention auto-purge, and a GPLv2 LICENSE file<\/li>\n
                • Accessibility: explicit focus rings for checkboxes\/radios\/toggles, High-Contrast-Mode-safe focus on the soft field style, aria-invalid on group\/consent errors, improved contrast<\/li>\n
                • Hardening: mail subject + Reply-To stripped of CR\/LF; privacy-policy strings escaped; webhook header REST input sanitised<\/li>\n
                • Privacy text now documents the retention period and the strictly-necessary flash cookie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  0.2.7<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Architecture refactor: the core stays fully free (incl. multi-step + conditional logic); integration features (webhooks, SMTP, CSV export) were factored out of the core<\/li>\n
                  • Privacy: full WordPress privacy-tools integration (exporter + eraser); accurate disclosure of the single strictly-necessary flash cookie<\/li>\n
                  • Accessibility: broader prefers-reduced-motion<\/code> coverage; required spam-math fallback for no-JS visitors<\/li>\n
                  • Hardening: defence-in-depth against mail-header injection; open-redirect-safe thank-you redirects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    0.1.0<\/h4>\n\n
