Turn Contact Form 7 Into a Form That Can Handle Real Client Work | Frontierline Forms Pro Now Available
Frontierline Forms, a WordPress extension that adds multi-step flows, confirmation/completion screens, database storage of submission logs, and CSV export to Contact Form 7 — free and unlimited — now has a Pro version. Pro adds Slack/Chatwork/spreadsheet notifications, automatic email replies, AES-256 encryption, and advanced spam protection. Also a strong migration path from MW WP Form.
FRONTIERLINE Inc. has released the Pro version of “Frontierline Forms,” our extension plugin for Contact Form 7 (CF7).
It builds on your existing CF7 templates as-is, adding in a single package the features real client projects actually need.
The core features are free and unlimited. The Pro version adds external notifications, automatic replies, encryption, and advanced security.
Why We Built This
Contact Form 7 is lightweight, well-documented, and the de facto standard for WordPress forms. But on real projects, teams often end up switching to a different form plugin because CF7 lacks a confirmation screen, doesn’t retain submission data, or has weak notifications and branching — and in the process, they throw away all their existing CF7 template assets. We built Frontierline Forms to eliminate that wasted rework.
The core philosophy isn’t to replace CF7, but to add to it.
What You Get in the Free Version (All Unlimited)
- Multi-step forms: Split a form into multiple steps, with no limit on the number of steps. Reduces input burden and cuts down on drop-off in long forms
- Confirmation and completion screens: Adds the input → confirm → submit → complete flow that CF7 lacks. Supports GA4 conversion tracking via redirect after completion
- Conditional branching: Show or hide fields based on entered values, with no limit on the number of rules
- Database storage and CSV export of submission logs: Saves every submission to the database for searching and viewing. Export everything as UTF-8 BOM CSV, with no garbled characters in Excel
- Honeypot spam protection: Suppresses bot submissions using an invisible field, with zero configuration required
- Brand colors: Apply your colors, corner radius, and fonts to the form so it matches your project’s design
We also cover our thinking on spam and submission logs in a separate article, “Solving Contact Form 7’s Spam and Submission Log Problems with a Real Implementation.”
What’s Added in the Pro Version
Pro adds features built for agencies and multi-site operations.
- Slack / Chatwork / Google Sheets notifications: Get instant alerts on incoming inquiries, so you don’t miss a response even if an email slips through
- Automatic email replies and automation: Trigger auto-replies and staff notifications on receipt, turning your first response into a repeatable process
- AES-256 encrypted storage of personal data: Submission data is encrypted before it’s saved to the database
- Advanced spam and security protection: Rate limiting, NG-word filtering, and IP restrictions block malicious submissions in layers
- Multi-site licensing: 5-site or unlimited plans let you handle form maintenance across multiple projects under one license
- Priority support and free updates: Stay on the latest version for the entire length of your contract
Setup instructions for each feature are published in the documentation.
A Migration Path From MW WP Form
If you’re looking for a place to migrate to now that MW WP Form development has stalled, Contact Form 7 + Frontierline Forms is a practical option. It covers the features MW WP Form users took for granted — confirmation screens, automatic replies, and submission data storage — while CF7 itself remains well-maintained and well-documented.
