Cognito Forms Are Awesome; WP Plugin Is Not
by reimajined·1 year ago
I love Cognito Forms. But I don’t even see anywhere within my WordPress admin area to create/view/manage forms. Is it tied to Gutenberg blocks? Cuz Gutenberg is the plague and I avoid that. Would be nice if it showed up in other builders (i.e. Beaver Builder.)
So far, 1-star is too much.
by Das Capitolin·2 years ago
I have a Cognito Forms account. I have a WordPress website I would like to embed my forms onto. So I install this plugin, activate it, and from the Classic Editor I click on the Cognito Forms gear icon, and… nothing. Only a small, empty window opens.
EDIT: Manually adding the seamless Publish Code snippet worked fine, whereas this plugin did not. You keep your 1-star.

Excellent plugin and support
by petebm·5 years ago
The range of options and facilities offered by Cognito Forms is outstanding; powerful forms based on conditional logic, good design options and payment taking all make for a presuasive package. Support is speedy and helpful.
Thank you!
Why is this plugin not downloaded that much?
by mwage·5 years ago
I am really wondering why this plugin is not downloaded that much. It is really a very powerfull and full featured plug. Even in the free version you can create wonderful forms. It is very simple to create them and there are a lot of parameters you can play with.
And no, I am not working for this company and no I don’t get paid for this review 🙂
I hope you guys keep up the good work with this amazing plugin!
REALLY considering switching from Jotform to Cognito but..

Being considering switching to Cognito forms for all our [Moderated: Link redacted] Orlando SEO lead pages. Currently we use calendly, but it has decreased our conversion rate. I am a little hesitant now after reading the reviews, but will give it a shot.
