Gorilla Forms for WordPress
Your forms, inside WordPress.
See forms, response trends, payments, workflow workload and automation health together—then act without leaving WordPress.
One secure connection · No API key to copy · Automatic updates included
A complete WordPress workspace
Far more than an embed plugin.
Gorilla Forms brings the useful parts of your account into the familiar WordPress administration area. Publish a form on any page, make common edits, inspect submissions, assign follow-up work and export records while your form data remains securely managed by Gorilla Forms.
New unified dashboard
Know what needs attention at a glance.
Version 2.0 makes the Gorilla Forms dashboard the plugin landing page, combining account activity and direct actions in one responsive workspace.
Understand activity over time
A lightweight 30-day chart shows daily response activity without loading an external analytics library.
Find the forms doing the work
Compare all-time and 30-day response totals, see the latest activity and jump directly to editing or responses.
Open the latest replies
Recent responses display their local workflow state and payment value with a direct link to the full record.
See every stage clearly
New, In Progress, Complete and Archived totals make outstanding follow-up work immediately visible.
Spot failures quickly
Monitor total and active rules, successful and failed runs, plus the latest execution results.
New in version 1.9
Create forms without leaving WordPress.
Start with a blank draft or search the Gorilla Forms template library from the WordPress administration area.
Start with a clean canvas
Enter a title and description in WordPress, then add common questions immediately in the built-in editor.
Find the right starting point
Search template names and descriptions or filter the alphabetically organised library by category.
See every question first
Inspect question types, required fields, help text and answer choices before selecting a template.
Make the template your own
A selected template is copied into the connected account as a separate draft that can be changed freely.
Know your allowance
The current plan and form usage are shown in WordPress, and account limits are enforced securely by Gorilla Forms.
Keep the full platform capability
Complex fields from templates remain intact and can be refined using the complete Gorilla Forms builder.
Add forms anywhere

Response workflow
Keep follow-up work organised.
Turn a form submission into an actionable record for the people who manage your WordPress website.
Track progress
Mark responses as New, In progress, Complete or Archived, then filter the current page by status.
Give a response an owner
Assign submissions to eligible WordPress users, filter by assignee and update several selected responses together.
Keep internal context attached
Add timestamped staff notes to individual responses without exposing them to the respondent.
Stay aware of new replies
Enable response email notifications and see new-response indicators in the WordPress administration menu.
Process a queue efficiently
Select several responses from the list or grid and update their status or assignment in one action.
Connect custom WordPress workflows
Developers can listen for the gorilla_forms_response_received action to start their own WordPress integrations.
New in version 1.8
Turn responses into WordPress actions.
Create secure automation rules that run for every response or only when a mapped answer meets your condition.
Create user accounts safely
Map email, username and name questions to a new WordPress user. Privileged administration roles are deliberately unavailable.
Create drafts for review
Map response answers to a post title and body. Automated content is restricted to Draft or Pending Review.
Create orders from responses
Choose a product and map quantity and customer details. Orders remain on hold until payment is independently verified.
Connect another HTTPS service
Send structured response JSON with an encrypted secret, SHA-256 signature and unique delivery identifier.
Run the right action
Compare any mapped answer using equals, not equal, contains, empty and non-empty rules, with smart choice suggestions.
See exactly what happened
Review the latest 250 runs, prevent duplicate successes, retry failures automatically up to three times or retry manually.
Display and access controls
The right form for the right visitor.
Control how and when an embedded form appears without creating separate WordPress pages for every audience.
Full Gorilla Forms capability
The secure iframe display supports advanced forms while keeping the form visually separated from theme conflicts.
Inherit WordPress theme styling
Compatible standard forms can render natively. Forms using advanced features automatically fall back to the secure embed.
Choose who can see it
Show a form to everyone, logged-in visitors, logged-out visitors or selected WordPress roles.
Publish for a defined period
Optionally set a date and time for the form to appear and another for it to be hidden.
Validated first-party submissions
Native forms use server-side validation, required-field checks and a hidden spam trap before submission.
Delegate embedding safely
Administrators can allow editors to insert published forms without granting access to responses, connection settings or account controls.
Connection, health and updates
Designed to stay secure and maintainable.
The plugin connects through a dedicated authorisation flow and gives administrators clear tools for checking its health.
No API key to paste into WordPress
Choose Connect Gorilla Forms, sign in and approve the website. Connected sites can later be reviewed and revoked from your account.
Clear checks and renewal notices
Test the account connection on demand and receive an understandable notice if authorisation expires or needs attention.
Built-in operational checks
Review connectivity, scheduled response checks and secure update availability alongside WordPress’s normal diagnostics.
Useful details without response content
Site Health shows plugin status and capability information while deliberately excluding connection tokens and form responses.
Automatic or manual releases
WordPress can detect and install new Gorilla Forms versions automatically. Downloaded packages are checked against their published fingerprint.
Keep sensitive areas restricted
Response management, form editing and account settings remain limited to WordPress administrators.
