The Best Free WordPress Form Plugins For Oxygen Sites

In this video, we're exploring the top 6 free form plugins from the WordPress Plugin Directory and testing how they work with Oxygen on your WordPress website.

We'll create a basic form with each plugin, copy the form's shortcode, and then add it to an Oxygen page using the Shortcode element. We'll then take a look at how easy the form is to style.

Finally, we'll monitor how our website scores in GT Metrix when using each form plugin.

Killer idea for a video. Wish I would have thought of that 🤣

Maybe you already noticed in the meantime but Formidable always showed the title and description because you included something like title=true description=true in the shortcode which overrides the form’s settings. ☺️

Why didn't you consider WS Forms which seems to be supported by many Oxygen users? ..and/or Poitnet forms?

Spend the money and buy WS Forms. You’re welcome!

Just make a form element, it would be more useful. It's not easy to override the styles of those form plugins. !important everywhere

thanks for the review. but my results for Formidable Forms are totally different. First, they load their CS on every page, regardless that they don't even have a link to it, let alone the form itself. It's ~60kb!! What??? So I'm still picking the best option... In my past experience Contact 7 was also very bulky and loaded every page, at least with Google bot-check on
