So I'm very late on this one. It's possible I've already answered your questions. If not, the reason for no screenshots or demo sites is because there isn't a very good way to demo the functionality since displaying the data is 100% user created. You can take a look at "Display Collected Data" at http://formidablepro.com/features/. And please contact me with questions.

You've probably already figured this out by now or given up. If not, you have a javascript conflict with another plugin. Please deactivate other plugins and try switching out your theme to find it. If you need more help you can post a question in the forum. Thanks!

You'd be better off asking the author of Formidable Pro as we cannot answer that question here.

The form we have automatically has the question in the space where the client is supposed to put the response. The question may be several words. My client doesn’t want these questions to download in the CSV (for each applicant). Any hints on how to get a more concise spreadsheet? Also, is there a way to limit characters in a response or attach a file like a resume?

I’m not sure but the formidable pro author’s blog is at blog.strategy11.com — I think she’s got a contact form setup there — I’d just ask her. Hope that helps.

Hi Blair. I have searched high and low for a tutorial on how to use Formidable and cannot find one. The plugin site is not informative. I just want to know how to create a form. I tried to drag fields into the form but nothing seems to happen. Do you or anyone know where i can find a tutorial or can you tell me how to get the fields into my form?

Rick you’ll need to contact the author of F-Pro as we cannot answer those questions for you here.

It sounds good, but we need to collect information and then display it in WP as a list. The F-Pro sites has no examples of how to display the resulting data in WP, which is discouraging. I hesitate to pay for software without even seeing a screenshot, much less a working example. Maybe list some sites that are already using it, or even a demo site?

Thanks for the great post Blair! Still waiting for those updates…. LaTanga, you can require login to allow users to fill-in a form, and make it editable for them as well. So you could use it as a type of profile, although the data wouldn’t save anywhere else. You could add that easily enough into a small add-on plugin though.

LaTanga,

The author of formidable pro plugin is found here:
http://blog.strategy11.com/formidable-wordpress-plugin

I don’t think formidable pro is capable of doing that but do a search on wordpress.org/extend/plugins and I’m sure you’ll find a couple…like register plus.

I am looking for a great contact form as well as a registration form that would require the user to login with a username and password as well as collect some additional data. Does your formidable pro offer those features?

Pinto,

Blair actually isn’t the author of formidable pro. Just an affiliate. However you can find support for it here:

Hello,
Thanks for the great plugin, very simple & elegant form.
Just quick question, where i can change the HEIGHT of the fields? it’s look very narrow right now

Also i will try to work on a translate it into Hebrew.

Thanks,
Pinto.

Supposedly, my friends say that Gravity Forms is the best. I’ll look at this though.

Sometimes the automated emails going out will be blocked by spam filters — this has happened to me on Pretty Link Pro too (although rarely). I’d recommend just contacting Steph via her contact form at:

http://formidablepro.com/customer-service/

She should be able to send you your credentials immediately…

Thanks for your comments above. I went to the site, paid my $35, but was never given instructions as to how to download the plug-in. The web site is no help. Any suggestions?

Steph has a free version of Formidable in the WordPress repository:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/formidable

Formidable Pro is an upgrade to that — you can install it and play around with it until you upgrade to pro.

Ok, Since there is no demo, and no trail version, I would bet this would be a very hard sell to anyone. There are ton’s of form plugins and even services, so it’s a tight market.

I’ll give it a shot on Green Complex ( http://green.cx )

I’m using CForms, and I have to see it to believe it if it’s actually better!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll let you know!

Thanks Blair,
I have been looking for a good contact form to add to my new blog. I will definately take a look at Formidable Pro.

To Your Success,
