About this plugin

LMS Advisor Form Builder lets you build any number of forms and place them with a shortcode, a block or an Elementor widget. Submissions are stored in your own database and can be searched, exported and emailed. No account is needed and nothing is sent to another service unless you switch on a CAPTCHA.

It is made for people who run courses on WordPress. A form placed on a course or lesson page can record the course, the lesson and the logged-in learner on its own, so an enquiry or an assignment always arrives with its context.

Build

  • Visual builder: field palette, live form and field settings side by side
  • Add fields by click or drag, reorder by drag or keyboard, undo and redo
  • 42 field types: text, paragraph, email, phone, number, URL, password, radio, checkboxes, dropdown, multi-select, toggle, date, time, date and time, file and image upload, hidden, name, address, country, state, city, ZIP, range, color, heading, description, HTML and divider
  • WordPress and LMS fields filled in on the server: user, user ID, username, email, first and last name, role, course ID, course name, lesson ID, page URL and referrer
  • Conditional logic: show or hide a field depending on other answers
  • Starter templates: contact, course enquiry, course feedback and assignment upload
  • Preview with your theme before publishing

Collect

  • Submissions list with search, filters, sorting, bulk actions, read and unread, spam and trash
  • File uploads stored outside public reach and downloaded through a permission check
  • Export to CSV, CSV for Excel or JSON, by form, status and date range
  • Notification email to you and a confirmation email to the sender, with placeholders, preview and test send
  • Show a message or go to a page or web address after sending

Protect

  • Every submission is checked on the server, whatever the browser sent
  • Honeypot, minimum fill time, rate limits and optional reCAPTCHA or Turnstile
  • IP addresses anonymised by default
  • Retention periods, a delete tool, and support for the WordPress personal data export and erasure tools

Accessible

  • Labels, error messages and help text are linked to their fields
  • Errors are announced, and focus moves to the first field that needs attention
  • Works with a keyboard and a screen reader, in the builder too
  • Forms work without JavaScript

LMS support

Course and lesson are detected on pages of LifterLMS, LearnDash, Tutor LMS and Sensei LMS. Any other LMS can supply them with the lms_form_lms_context filter.

External services

LMS Advisor Form Builder does not contact any external service by default. Two optional spam checks do, and only after an administrator has chosen one and entered its keys under LMS Advisor Forms > Settings > Security.

Google reCAPTCHA

Used to tell people and bots apart. When it is active, pages that show a form load a script from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js. The script and the widget run in the visitor’s browser and send Google the data it collects there, such as the IP address, browser details and interaction signals. When a form is sent, your server sends the response token and your secret key to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify. The plugin does not forward the visitor’s IP address in that request.

Cloudflare Turnstile

Used to tell people and bots apart. When it is active, pages that show a form load a script from https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js. The script and the widget run in the visitor’s browser and send Cloudflare the data it collects there, such as the IP address and browser details. When a form is sent, your server sends the response token and your secret key to https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify. The plugin does not forward the visitor’s IP address in that request.
