Description
FormMinia for Elementor is a modern contact form plugin for WordPress that integrates natively with Elementor. Build beautiful forms with 50+ preset skins, multiple layouts (floating labels, material, inline and more), inline SVG field icons and a professional HTML email template.
Key features
- Native Elementor widget with 50+ preset skins and 7 layout styles.
- Server-side validation for all required fields.
- Spam protection: Google reCAPTCHA v2, Cloudflare Turnstile and a honeypot field.
- IP-based rate limiting to prevent submission flooding.
- GDPR consent checkbox.
- Submissions stored securely in the database with an admin list table, search, CSV export and bulk/single delete.
- Professional HTML email notifications with customizable branding (colors, logo, footer), CC/BCC support and optional per-form recipients.
- Optional auto-responder emails to the visitor.
- Success redirect support.
- Fully translatable. All strings are properly internationalized.
External services
The plugin only sends data to the following external services when you explicitly enable them in the settings:
- Google reCAPTCHA v2 — used to protect forms from spam. When enabled, the visitor’s browser requests the reCAPTCHA widget from Google and submits a verification token to Google’s server-side API. See Google’s Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
- Cloudflare Turnstile — used to protect forms from spam. When enabled, the visitor’s browser requests the Turnstile challenge from Cloudflare and submits a verification token to Cloudflare’s server-side API. See Cloudflare’s Terms of Service (https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/) and Privacy Policy (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/).
No other external requests are made by the plugin.
Privacy
Submissions (including the visitor’s IP address and user agent) are stored in your site’s database so you can review contact messages. You can permanently delete entries from the Submissions screen, and all data is removed when the plugin is uninstalled.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.8 or higher.
- Elementor (free) 3.5 or higher.

FAQ
-
Do I need Elementor to use FormMinia for Elementor?
-

-
Will the handler answer spam?
-
FormMinia for Elementor includes Google reCAPTCHA v2, Cloudflare Turnstile, a honeypot field and IP-based rate limiting. Enable the provider you prefer in FormMinia for Elementor General settings and turn on the CAPTCHA option in the widget.
-
Are submitted messages stored?
-
Yes. All submissions are saved in the database so you never lose an inquiry, even if the email fails. Manage them under FormMinia for Elementor Submissions.
-
How do I change the recipient email?
-
By default notifications go to your site’s admin email. To override it globally, go to FormMinia for Elementor Email Settings Recipient Email. You can also set a per-form recipient, CC and BCC in the widget’s “Advanced Settings”.
