Sobi Forms

描述

Sobi Forms is a lightweight contact form plugin built for speed and simplicity. Create multiple forms, embed them anywhere with a shortcode or Gutenberg block, and keep your front-end lean.

Performance-first front-end

• Vanilla JavaScript on the front-end
• ~3.5 KB CSS + JS combined (minified footprint on form pages)
• Assets enqueue only when a form is rendered on the page – zero impact on other pages
• Script loaded in the footer with defer strategy (WordPress 6.3+)
• No global front-end CSS frameworks

Form builder (admin only)

• Document-first drag-and-drop editor (React via WordPress wp-element, loaded only on the form edit screen)
• Field types: text, email, textarea, phone, number, select, radio, checkbox
• Multiple recipient emails per form
• After submit: inline success message or redirect to a published page

Embedding

• Shortcode: [sobiforms], [sobiforms id="3"], [sobiforms slug="contact"]
• Gutenberg block: Sobi Forms Contact with form picker
• Works with any page builder that supports shortcodes or blocks

Submissions

• Email notifications via wp_mail() (HTML)
• Optional database storage (off by default)
• Inbox with read/unread, starred, admin notes, search and filters
• Honeypot, nonce verification, rate limiting (5 submissions/hour per hashed IP)

Security

• Nonce on every submission
• Honeypot field
• Server-side field validation against a strict JSON schema
• Capability checks and nonces on all admin actions

Privacy Policy

Sobi Forms processes data submitted through your forms. By default:

• Email only – field values are sent to the recipient address(es) you configure per form via wp_mail(). Nothing is stored in the database unless you enable storage.
• Optional database storage – when enabled per form (Forms → edit form → Settings), submissions are saved in custom tables on your site (wp_sobiforms_submissions, wp_sobiforms_forms). Each form has its own retention setting (auto-delete after N days).
• Hashed IP – when storage is enabled, a one-way SHA-256 hash of the visitor IP is stored with each submission for abuse prevention. Raw IP addresses are not stored.
• Rate limiting – a transient keyed by hashed IP limits submissions to 5 per hour. Transients expire automatically.
• Admin notes – internal notes on submissions are stored in your database and never shown on the front-end or included in emails.
• No tracking – Sobi Forms does not connect to third-party analytics, advertising, or remote APIs when processing form submissions.
• No data sent to the plugin author – form submissions stay on your server and mail server. The Feedback settings tab links to the WordPress.org support forum and sobiforms.com/roadmap only if you choose to open them.

Site owners are responsible for their privacy policy and lawful basis for collecting visitor data.

Development

Human-readable source for the admin builder is in src/admin-builder/. Run npm install and npm run build to regenerate build/admin-builder/. React and @wordpress/* are loaded from WordPress; see third-party-licenses.txt for bundled libraries.
