Installation
Tip: this plugin is published on WordPress.org, so the fastest path is Plugins → Add New in your WP admin and searching for Xtreme Forms.
The fastest install path is straight from your WordPress dashboard via Plugins → Add New. Search for Xtreme Forms, click Install Now, then Activate. You'll be redirected to a welcome screen the first time the plugin runs.
Full installation walkthrough with screenshots — coming soon.
Configuration
Open Xtreme Forms from the WordPress admin sidebar. The plugin organizes settings under five tabs:
- General — site-wide defaults, plugin attribution opt-in, lead retention.
- Email Templates — edit the HTML for admin notifications and autoresponder emails.
- Spam Protection — reCAPTCHA, Turnstile, and honeypot configuration.
- Integrations — Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, webhooks.
- GDPR & Privacy — consent text, data export, automatic purge schedules.
A field-by-field configuration reference is on the way.
Shortcodes & Blocks
You can embed any form in two ways: the dedicated Gutenberg block (search for Xtreme Forms in the block inserter) or the shortcode for classic editor / page builder contexts:
[xtreme_forms id="42"]Replace 42 with the form ID shown in the Xtreme Forms admin. The Gutenberg block uses xtreme-forms/form as its block namespace.
Troubleshooting
Form submissions aren't saving. Open Xtreme Forms → Submissions and check whether any rows appear. If submissions exist but email isn't arriving, your site likely needs an SMTP plugin (FluentSMTP or Xtreme SendGrid both work well). If submissions aren't even being recorded, deactivate any aggressive caching plugin on the page where the form lives and retest.
CAPTCHA fails on every submission. Verify your site key and secret are pasted into the right fields and that the domain you're testing on is whitelisted in your reCAPTCHA / Turnstile admin console.
A webhook never fires. Check Integrations → Webhooks → Logs for the most recent attempt and any error payload. If you're on the Pro plan, the retry queue will keep trying for 24 hours before giving up.

FAQ
Is Xtreme Forms really free?
Yes. The core plugin on WordPress.org is GPL-licensed and free to use on unlimited sites. An optional Pro add-on (scheduled CSV exports + a webhook retry queue) is available separately.
Does Xtreme Forms work with my page builder?
Yes. Xtreme Forms ships a Gutenberg block and a shortcode, so it works with Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Divi, Oxygen, and any block theme — anywhere a shortcode or block can be embedded.
Can I export submissions to CSV?
The free plugin includes one-click CSV export from the submissions screen. Pro adds scheduled exports (daily, weekly, monthly) delivered by email.
How do I protect forms from spam?
Out of the box you can enable Google reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare Turnstile, or a honeypot field. Each is opt-in from Settings → Spam Protection.
Where does the lead data go?
Submissions are stored in a custom table inside your own WordPress database. Optional integrations forward leads to Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or any HTTP webhook — only if you enable and configure them.
