The FormGlut menu
After activation, a FormGlut menu appears in the WordPress admin sidebar:

|---|---|
| All Forms | Lists your forms with their views, entries and conversion rate. |
| Add New | Opens the form editor with a new blank form. |
| Entries | Shows every submission from every form. |
| Global Settings | Default options for all forms: email, messages, captcha keys, Stripe and Mailchimp. |
| Data & Logs | Migration, export and import, logs, system status and maintenance. |
| ⭐ Pro Features | An overview of FormGlut Pro. This item is hidden once Pro is active. |
Every FormGlut screen also has a menu button (three lines) at the top left. It opens a side menu with the same pages and a link back to the WordPress dashboard.
Recommended first steps
- Go to FormGlut › Global Settings and set the Admin notification email, Sender name and Sender email. See Global Settings.
- If you want captcha or payments, add your reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile or Stripe keys in the same place.
- Create your first form. See Create Your First Form.
Tip: Use a sender email on your own domain, such as
noreply@yoursite.com. Emails sent from free mail addresses (Gmail, Yahoo) are often marked as spam.
Moving from another form plugin
If your forms are in WPForms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, Forminator, Contact Form 7 or another plugin, FormGlut can copy them for you. See Migrate from Other Form Plugins.
