Turn ACF fields into front-end forms

Advanced Forms Pro creates WordPress forms with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). It supports all ACF field types, including repeaters and flexible content, through the familiar ACF field editor. The add-on requires ACF PRO version 5.7 or later.

Create forms in the WordPress admin panel or programmatically, then add them to a website with a Gutenberg block. Hooks and helper functions support developer integrations, and documentation covers these options.

See what happens during a submission

Calculated fields update live using values from other fields, so their results change as someone completes the form. You can program calculations for more complex requirements. AJAX submissions send without a page reload. To keep a record, save each submission as an entry containing all form fields.

Use submitted data

• Posts: Create or edit posts, set the post title, content, and status, and map existing ACF fields.
• User accounts: Register users or let them edit their profiles, with automatic mapping of visitor fields.
• Email: Configure an unlimited number of notifications with dynamic recipients and field includes.
• Connected services: Send each submission, including all form data, to Slack; sign users up for a Mailchimp mailing list; or connect forms to thousands of third-party services through Zapier.

Set form access and spam protection

Built-in restrictions can cap the total number of submissions, limit a form to logged-in users, or set when it can be used. Every form has honeypot spam protection. Pro also supports reCAPTCHA, including an invisible captcha.

Set up a form

Define the ACF fields, create the form through the admin panel or programmatically, and place it with a Gutenberg block. Then configure the submission behavior, notifications, restrictions, integrations, calculated fields, or reCAPTCHA options needed for the process. Choose whether submissions should be stored as entries, used to create or edit posts or users, or sent to connected services.
