Formidable Forms

This skill enables management of Formidable Forms on WordPress sites.

Overview

Formidable Forms is a popular WordPress form builder plugin. This skill provides capabilities to:

  • List all forms on a site
  • Get detailed form information including all fields
  • Retrieve form entries/submissions
  • Analyze form structure

Prerequisites

The target WordPress site must have:

  1. Formidable Forms plugin (free version or Pro)
  2. For REST API scripts: Formidable API add-on (paid) with an API key configured

Available Scripts

list-forms

List all forms on the WordPress site.

Method: Uses

wp eval
to query Formidable's PHP API directly (no API add-on required).

Output: JSON array of forms with id, form_key, name, description, and status.

get-form

Get detailed information about a specific form including all its fields.

Parameters:

  • formId
    (required): The form ID or form key

Output: Form details plus array of all fields with their configuration.

get-entries

Retrieve entries/submissions for a form.

Parameters:

  • formId
    (required): The form ID
  • limit
    (optional): Number of entries to retrieve (default: 25)
  • page
    (optional): Page number for pagination (default: 1)

Output: Array of form entries with field values.

How It Works

These scripts use

wp eval
to execute PHP code directly on the WordPress server via WP-CLI. This approach:

  • Works without the paid Formidable API add-on
  • Accesses Formidable's internal PHP classes (
    FrmForm
    ,
    FrmField
    ,
    FrmEntry
    )
  • Returns JSON-formatted data

Common Workflows

Analyze form structure

  1. Call
    list-forms
    to see all forms on the site
  2. Call
    get-form
    with the desired form ID to see all fields and their configuration
  3. Use field information to understand form structure

Export form data

  1. Call
    get-entries
    to retrieve submissions
  2. Use pagination parameters for large datasets
  3. Process the JSON response as needed

Troubleshoot form issues

  1. Call
    get-form
    to inspect field settings
  2. Check field types, required status, and validation rules
  3. Review conditional logic if configured
