259	### Drag-and-Drop WordPress Form Builder
260
261	Bit Form includes an intuitive drag-and-drop form builder. You can add fields, arrange layouts, customize labels, set placeholders, configure validation, apply show hide conditional logic, style your form, and publish it on your WordPress site.
262
263
264	### Fast and Lightweight Form Builder
265
266	Bit Form is designed to work as a fast form builder for WordPress.
267
268	For simple contact forms, Bit Form loads only 20KB JS & CSS. The exact load depends on the fields and settings you use, but the plugin is built to keep form performance clean and lightweight.
269
270	Bit Form still handles advanced forms in a well-optimized way. It gives you both: simple form creation for beginners and advanced form control for power users.
271
272	### Form Settings for Better Control
273
274	Bit Form gives you detailed form settings so you can control how your forms behave. Available form settings include:
275	- Allow single entry for each IP address
276	- Require users to be logged in before form submission
277	- Prevent empty form submission
278	- Validate form input when the field loses focus
279	- Disable entry storing in the WordPress database
280	- Enable reCAPTCHA v3
281	- Enable honeypot spam protection
282	- Disable a form after a limited number of entries
283	- Limit form submission by date and time period
284	- Block or allow selected IP addresses
285	- Capture Google Ads Click ID or GCLID
286

289
290
291	### Conditional Logic and Dynamic Forms
292
293	Bit Form Free includes basic conditional logic to show or hide fields based on user input.
294
295	Bit Form Pro adds advanced rules and actions like enable or disable fields, change values, make fields read-only or writable, update labels, update helper text, and control form behavior based on user choices, including AND and OR conditions, groups, nested conditions, Else If branches, and Else branches.
296
297	This makes Bit Form useful for quote forms, calculator forms, booking forms, payment forms, order forms, support forms, and advanced lead generation forms, where every user should not see the same fields.
298
299
300	### Email Notifications and Email Templates
301
302	Bit Form lets you send email notifications after form submission. You can create custom email templates, add smart tags, insert form field values, map all fields into the email body, and send different messages based on form data.
303
304	Bit Form Pro also supports advanced email notifications with PDF attachments, giving you more control over documents, receipts, confirmations, and internal records.
305
306	### Built-in Style Editor
307
308	Bit Form includes a [built-in style editor](https://bit-form.com/feature/custom-style-editor/) so you can customize your form design easily. You can adjust form layout, background, spacing, field style, colors, typography, buttons, and other visual elements to match your WordPress site.
309
310	The free version includes essential form styling, while Bit Form Pro adds deeper control with individual field styling.
311
312	### Payment Forms With PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay and Mollie
313
314	Bit Form Pro lets you create payment forms using PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and Mollie.
315
316	You can build a payment form, order form, booking form, donation form, service request form, event registration form, or custom checkout-style form.
317
318	By using payment fields, you can collect payments through a form easily. You can combine payment fields with contact fields, file upload fields, conditional logic, email notifications, and form integrations.
319
320
321
322	### Multistep Forms and Conversational Forms
323
324	Long forms can feel hard to complete when everything appears on one screen. Bit Form supports multistep forms, so you can divide longer forms into smaller sections.
325
326	Bit Form also supports conversational forms. A conversational form shows questions in a step-by-step flow, which can work well for lead generation, feedback, applications, and guided form experiences.
327
328
329	### Entry Management, Data Views, and Reports
330
331	Bit Form stores form submissions inside the dashboard.
332
333	You can review form entries, manage submitted data, filter responses, and use entry-related features for internal workflows.
334
335	With Bit Form Pro, Data Views & Edit lets you control which users can view or edit entries from the front end. You can allow users to view their own entries, allow selected roles to view others’ entries, and create front-end data views for submitted form data.
336
337
338	### Landing Forms and Direct Form Sharing
339
340	Bit Form Pro supports landing forms and standalone form pages. You can create a form page with its own direct URL and share it without embedding the form on a normal WordPress page.
341
342	You can also share conversational form links or embed forms using HTML embed code.
343
344
345	### PDF Templates and Attachments
346
347	Bit Form Pro supports PDF templates. You can generate PDF files from submitted form data and use them for records, receipts, invoices, contracts, applications, and internal documents.
348
349	PDF template options include:
350
351	* Custom PDF template body
352	* Form field smart tags
353	* Map all fields
354	* Custom PDF file name
355	* PDF password
356	* Download link control
357	* Paper size
358	* Orientation
359	* Font family
360	* Font size
361	* Watermark
362	* Language direction
363
364	PDF support is useful for booking forms, order forms, payment forms, application forms, contract forms, and official form records.
365
366	### Spam Protection and Email Verification
367
368	Bit Form includes [multiple spam protection](https://bit-form.com/feature/block-spams-spam-protection/) options. You can protect forms using reCAPTCHA v2, reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile for free. Honeypot protection is included in Pro.
369
370	Bit Form also supports double opt-in in Pro. Double opt-in can require users to confirm their email before selected actions run. This is useful for newsletter forms, lead generation forms, registration forms, and email-based workflows.
371
372
373	### Form Abandonment and Partial Entries (Pro)
374
375	Bit Form includes form abandonment support. This feature can save partial form data when users leave before completing the form.
376
377	You can show a warning message, save drafts for logged-in users, repopulate previous partial entries, save a draft when the user leaves the form page, and allow empty forms to be saved as drafts when needed.
378
379	### WordPress Authentication Forms
380
381	Bit Form Pro includes WordPress authentication features. You can create forms for:
382
383	* User registration
384	* User login
385	* Forgot password
386	* Reset password
387
388	You can map form fields to WordPress user fields, assign user roles, set approval methods, send user and admin notifications, redirect users after submission, and map user meta fields.
389
390	This makes Bit Form useful for membership sites, course sites, private communities, customer portals, and user onboarding flows.
391
392
393	### Why Choose Bit Form?
394
395	Bit Form gives you a clean form-building experience without making the workflow feel complicated. Bit Form is useful for:
396
397	* Beginners who want to create a contact form without code
398	* Small businesses that need lead generation forms and support forms
399	* Agencies that build forms for client websites
400	* Freelancers who need booking forms, quote forms, and order forms
401	* Membership sites that need registration, login, and user forms
402	* Marketers who need CRM, email marketing, and automation integrations
403	* Developers who need conditional logic, webhooks, PDF output, and custom JS/CSS control
404
405	Bit Form keeps simple form creation easy while still giving advanced users enough control to build complex form workflows.
406
407
408	### Build Simple Forms or Advanced Form Workflows
409
410	You can start with a basic form and later build more complex forms with file upload, conditional logic, multistep form, conversational form, payment form fields, booking form workflows, order form confirmations, support form notifications, CRM integrations, and PDF attachments.
411
412	Bit Form gives you a flexible form-building system inside WordPress with a beginner-friendly interface and advanced form-building capabilities.
413
414
415	== External services ==
416
417	Bit Form connects to external services only when:
418	- You enable a specific integration (e.g., Zoho CRM, Mailchimp, Google Sheets)
419	- You use a built-in feature that requires external processing (e.g., spam protection, icon search)
420
421	Data is sent to external servers only when integrations are active (captcha/icon search are exceptions when those features are used). Enabling an integration sends form data to that service per your configuration — for example, connecting Mailchimp will send subscriber data on form submission.
422

479
480	== Changelog ==
481	= 3.3.1 =
482	* Release Date: 24 Sem, 2026
483
484	* New:
485	1. Conditional Blocks in Email and PDF Templates: Wrap part of a template in `${bf_if:field}` … `${bf_endif}` and it is sent only when that field has a value — so optional blocks, like a list of attendees, stop emailing empty rows. The editor's new Conditional Block menu inserts a block for any field, or wraps your selection.
486	2. Conditions Can Compare Values: A block can test the answer, not just whether there is one: `${bf_if:b1-3 contain @gmail.com}`, `${bf_if:b1-9 equal Poland}`, `${bf_if:b1-4 greater 100}`. Operators match conditional logic — equal, not_equal, null, not_null, contain, not_contain, start_with, end_with, greater, less, greater_or_equal, less_or_equal. Combine them with `${bf_if_any:…}`, `${bf_if_all:…}` or `${bf_unless:…}`, add an `${bf_else}` branch, and nest blocks.
487	3. Discard Values of Hidden Fields: A new form setting drops the value of a field hidden by conditional logic, so it never reaches the entry, emails, PDFs or integrations. Calculated and tracked values are unaffected, and "Keep value when hidden" in a field's own settings overrides the form setting.
488	4. Filter Imported Posts by Taxonomy and Term: A field filled from your posts can now be narrowed to one taxonomy and term, so a post type with several categories no longer pulls in every post. A "Remove Data Source" button detaches the live sync while keeping the synced options. Live sync needs Bit Form Pro 3.3.1; an older Pro shows an update notice.
489
490	* Improvements:
491	1. Webhooks Say Why a URL Was Rejected: A URL WordPress refuses — an internal host, a host that does not resolve, a port other than 80, 443 or 8080 — now reports the real reason and the filter that allows it, instead of "webhook url is empty" on a URL that was filled in correctly.
492	2. Documentation Links: Every "Learn more" link returned a 404. They now open the current Bit Form documentation, and Pro installs get the Pro changelog instead of the Free one.
493
494	* Fixes:
495	1. Hiding a field no longer skips validation for another field whose key starts the same, so a form with both `b1-17` and `b1-175` keeps validating and saving both.
496	2. A "Set value" rule no longer writes into a different field whose name attribute merely starts the same.
497	3. Two fields sharing one name attribute are now reported when you save the form, instead of one of them silently saving nothing.
498	4. `${bf_all_data.onlyValues}` now also skips a field left as an empty list, such as a checkbox group with nothing ticked, and two all-data tags in one template no longer interfere.
499	5. Forms no longer break with a fatal "Call to undefined function ignore_user_abort" on hardened hosts such as RunCloud, where that PHP function is disabled. Every Bit Form admin and submission request is affected on PHP 8.
500	6. A reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha or Turnstile widget is now reset after a failed submission, so retrying after a validation error no longer returns "timeout-or-duplicate" instead of the real error. On a page with more than one form, only that form's widget is reset.
501	7. Forms now survive page-speed optimizers that move or re-run scripts, such as Cloudflare Rocket Loader. The form's configuration was wiped on the second run, which left phone number and other custom fields unvalidated.
502	8. WPML no longer re-registers a form's strings on every page load; they are registered once and again only when the form actually changes.
503
504	= 3.3.0 =
505	* Release Date: 24 August, 2026
506	* Heads up:
507	1. WordPress 6.5 is now the minimum. Translations now ship as compiled catalogs, which older WordPress versions cannot read. On WordPress 6.4 the plugin still runs, but every string stays in English.
508
509	* New:
510	1. Multilingual Forms: Your form text now follows the visitor's language — labels, placeholders, options, buttons, validation and confirmation messages, redirect URLs and emails. Works with WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress and GTranslate, including forms built before this update. Each form can be left untranslated if you prefer.
511	2. Redesigned Integrations Screen: All your integrations now sit in one searchable table showing each one's status and when it last ran. Setup opens in a side drawer, so you stay on the form.
512	3. Reusable Connected Accounts: Connected accounts live in one panel, grouped by service. Rename or remove an account without touching the integrations that use it.
513	4. Field Auto-Mapping: Added an Auto Map button that matches your form fields to the service's fields in one click.
514	5. Unsaved Setup Is Kept: An unfinished integration setup is saved as a draft, so closing the drawer no longer loses it.
515	6. Caching Plugin Support: Saving a form now clears the cached pages that show it. Bit Form's scripts are excluded from W3 Total Cache, Hummingbird, Jetpack Boost and NitroPack, and Elementor's cache is cleared too.
516
517	* Improvements:
518	1. Bit Form's Own Text Translated: Bit Form's built-in text — buttons, default messages and admin screens — is now translated. The 34 bundled languages shipped before but were never applied, and they now cover this release's new strings. Developers can turn this off with the `bitform_filter_allow_translation` filter.
519	2. Telegram: A message too long for Telegram's caption limit is now sent as its own message instead of being rejected, and several attachments go as one album.
520	3. Integration Logs: A failed API call is now recorded against the entry. Before, a silently broken integration left no trace at all.
521	4. Phone Number Field: Validation now accepts landline, toll-free, premium and service numbers. Only mobile numbers were accepted before, so those were rejected in every country. Forms you have already saved keep their existing patterns.
522	5. Faster Multilingual Forms: Translated form content is now cached, and the multilingual code no longer loads on sites without a translation plugin.
523
524	* Fixes:
525	1. Telegram: Fixed uploaded files never reaching Telegram, and messages failing to send when the body used rich text. Paragraphs, bullet lists, the `${bf_all_data}` table and checkbox/radio values are now converted to text Telegram accepts.
526	2. Forms In Popups: Fixed forms opened later in a visit — in a popup, a tab or anything loaded on demand — having no validation or working submit button. Bit Form now watches for new forms the whole time the page is open.
527	3. Signature On Entry Edit: Fixed a saved signature disappearing when an entry is edited, which also blocked saving when the signature was required.
528	4. Country Flag On Phone Fields: Fixed the flag jumping to the wrong country while typing, where countries share a calling code.
529	5. Workflows On Older Installs: Fixed conditional logic and submit actions breaking when workflow database columns went missing after an interrupted update. They are now repaired automatically.
530	6. HTML Field In The Builder: Fixed the HTML field keeping its old height after its content was edited, so longer content spilled over the fields below it. The field now resizes as you edit, including once images inside it have loaded.
531
532	* Security:
533	1. REST API Key: The Bit Form API key is now randomly generated; the old fallback was predictable. If you have never set your own API key, open App Settings → API and generate a new one.
534	2. OAuth Return Endpoint: The public OAuth return endpoint now accepts GET requests only, rejects addresses it cannot parse, and no longer repeats a rejected address back.
535	3. Telegram Attachments: Attachment file names coming from a submission are validated before the file is read from disk.
536
537	= 3.2.2 =
538	* Release Date: 3rd August, 2026
539	* Improvements:
540	1. Bit Form Pro Updates: Improved the "Update Now" flow for updating Bit Form Pro from the plugins screen.
541
542	* Fixes:
543	1. Multi-Step Forms: Fixed the form freezing when "Next" was clicked after a successful submission — validation repeated until it failed, so a second entry could not be started without reloading the page.
544	2. File Uploads to Integrations: Fixed uploaded files not reaching OneDrive and Dropbox ("Can't open or read file!") and being silently skipped by WooCommerce and the Zoho integrations (CRM, Bigin, Creator, Desk, Mail, Projects, Recruit, and WorkDrive).
545	3. OneDrive: Fixed the same file being uploaded more than once when a form mapped several file fields to the integration.
546	4. Bit CRM Integration: Fixed missing tag titles when a form was created from Bit CRM.
547
548	= 3.2.1 =
549	* Release Date: 28 July, 2026
550	* New:
551	1. Bit CRM Integration: Added Bit CRM as a form integration, so submissions can create and tag leads in Bit CRM automatically.
552
553	* Improvements:
554	1. Cache Plugin Compatibility: The post-load security token is now generated by default on sites that have never changed the setting, so forms keep working behind full-page caching.
555	2. Entry Editing: Improved the entry edit screen and its save/update flow in the admin.
556
557	* Fixes:
558	1. Email From Name: Fixed the "From Name" configured on an email notification being ignored — notifications fell back to the sender address instead. Emails will now show the name you configured.
559	2. Entry Editing: Fixed the error message not being shown when an admin entry update failed.
560	3. File Uploads: Fixed a fatal error when a File Upload field inside a Repeater submitted more than one file.
561	4. Error Log: Stopped writing unnecessary entries to the WordPress debug log on every form submission.
562	5. Data Accuracy: Fixed a failed database query returning the previous query's rows instead of reporting the error, which could show the wrong records on a page.
563
564	* Security:
565	1. Hardened the database query layer so a query condition can never contribute an unrecognised column name or comparison operator to a statement.
566	2. Sanitized form submissions made through internal field keys, closing a stored cross-site-scripting and PDF request-forgery path.
567	3. Our thanks to security researchers Artus KG, JING QIAN and Farid Narimanov for responsibly disclosing the issues addressed in this release.
568
569	= 3.2.0 =
570	* Release Date: 20 July, 2026
571	* New:

573	2. Active Status Toggle: Added an enable/disable toggle for Success Message, Redirect URL, Email Notification, PDF Template, and Integration settings.
574	3. WordPress Media Library Attachments: Added an option to select files from the WordPress Media Library as email attachments in the Email Notification settings.
575	4. Individual Conditional Logic (Pro): Added support for enabling or disabling conditional logic for individual features (Success Message, Redirect URL, Email Notification, and Integrations).
576	5. Conditional Email Routing (Pro): Added support for conditional routing in the "Send To Email" setting of Email Notifications.
577	6. PDF Header & Footer (Pro): Added editors for configuring PDF headers and footers in the PDF Template settings.
578
579	* Improvements:
580	1. Execution Process: Decoupled the execution of Success Messages, Redirect URLs, Email Notifications, and Integrations from the central conditional logic. Each feature can now execute independently and be controlled individually.
581	2. Success Message: Redesigned the UI/UX and improved the execution workflow for a better user experience.
582	3. Email Templates: Added Configuration Info and Status columns to the list table, redesigned the editor UI/UX for improved usability, and enhanced the email execution workflow.
583	4. Email Configuration: Added configuration options for To, CC, BCC, From Name, From Email, Reply-To Email, and Attachments. Also added support for attaching multiple PDF(Pro) templates to email notifications.
584	5. PDF Templates (Pro): Added PDF Name and Settings Info columns to the list table and redesigned the editor UI/UX for improved usability and management.
585
586	* Fixes:
587	1. Field Cloning: Fixed a name property conflict when cloning composite fields with child fields.
588	2. Submission Validation: Fixed an issue where validation errors were not displayed when a required field existed in the field list but was missing from the form layout.
589	3. Conditional Record Edit Action: Fixed an issue where conditional logic configured for the "On Record Edit" action was not executed correctly during entry updates.
