255	### Drag-and-Drop WordPress Form Builder
256
257	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.
258
259
260	### Fast and Lightweight Form Builder
261
262	Bit Form is designed to work as a fast form builder for WordPress.
263
264	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.
265
266	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.
267
268	### Form Settings
269
270	Bit Form gives you detailed form settings so you can control how your forms behave. Available form settings include:
271	- Allow single entry for each IP address
272	- Require users to be logged in before form submission
273	- Prevent empty form submission
274	- Validate form input when the field loses focus
275	- Disable entry storing in the WordPress database
276	- Enable reCAPTCHA v3
277	- Enable honeypot spam protection
278	- Disable a form after a limited number of entries
279	- Limit form submission by date and time period
280	- Block or allow selected IP addresses
281	- Capture Google Ads Click ID or GCLID
282

285
286
287	### Conditional Logic and Dynamic Forms
288
289	Bit Form Free includes basic conditional logic to show or hide fields based on user input.
290
291	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.
292
293	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.
294
295
296	### Email Notifications and Email Templates
297
298	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.
299
300	Bit Form Pro also supports advanced email notifications with PDF attachments, giving you more control over documents, receipts, confirmations, and internal records.
301
302	### Built-in Style Editor
303
304	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.
305
306	The free version includes essential form styling, while Bit Form Pro adds deeper control with individual field styling.
307
308	### Payment Forms With PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay and Mollie
309
310	Bit Form Pro lets you create payment forms using PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and Mollie.
311
312	You can build a payment form, order form, booking form, donation form, service request form, event registration form, or custom checkout-style form.
313
314	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.
315
316
317
318	### Multistep Forms and Conversational Forms
319
320	Long contact form can feel hard to complete when everything appears on one screen. Bit Form supports multistep forms, so you can divide longer contact form into smaller sections.
321
322	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.
323
324
325	### Entry Management, Data Views, and Reports
326
327	Bit Form stores form submissions inside the dashboard.
328
329	You can review form entries, manage submitted data, filter responses, and use entry-related features for internal workflows.
330
331	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.
332
333
334	### Landing Forms and Direct Form Sharing
335
336	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.
337
338	You can also share conversational form links or embed forms using HTML embed code.
339
340
341	### PDF Templates and Attachments
342
343	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.
344
345	PDF template options include:
346
347	* Custom PDF template body
348	* Form field smart tags
349	* Map all fields
350	* Custom PDF file name
351	* PDF password
352	* Download link control
353	* Paper size
354	* Orientation
355	* Font family
356	* Font size
357	* Watermark
358	* Language direction
359
360	PDF support is useful for booking forms, order forms, payment forms, application forms, contract forms, and official form records.
361
362	### Spam Protection and Email Verification
363
364	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.
365
366	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.
367
368
369	### Form Abandonment and Partial Entries (Pro)
370
371	Bit Form includes form abandonment support. This feature can save partial form data when users leave before completing the form.
372
373	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.
374
375	### WordPress Authentication Forms
376
377	Bit Form Pro includes WordPress authentication features. You can create forms for:
378
379	* User registration
380	* User login
381	* Forgot password
382	* Reset password
383
384	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.
385
386	This makes Bit Form useful for membership sites, course sites, private communities, customer portals, and user onboarding flows.
387
388
389	### Why Choose Bit Form?

402
403
404	### Build Simple Forms or Advanced Form Workflows
405

407
408	Bit Form gives you a flexible form-building system inside WordPress with a beginner-friendly interface and advanced form-building capabilities.
409
410
411	== External services ==
412
413	Bit Form connects to external services only when:
414	- You enable a specific integration (e.g., Zoho CRM, Mailchimp, Google Sheets)
415	- You use a built-in feature that requires external processing (e.g., spam protection, icon search)
416
417	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.
418

476	== Changelog ==
477	= 3.3.2 =
478	* Release Date: 7 October, 2026
479
480	* Heads up:
481	1. Captchas Need Their Keys: Forms using reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha or Turnstile now reject submissions if the secret key is missing in App Settings. Re-add the keys or remove the captcha.
482	2. reCAPTCHA v3 Tolerance: A blank Tolerance Level now uses the default 0.6 instead of accepting every score.
483	3. Password Values Are No Longer Stored: Every Password field is now saved as "**** (encrypted)", and integrations receive that masked value. WooCommerce gives new customers a random password they can reset. Developers can turn this off with the `bitform_mask_password_values` filter.
484	4. Address Autocomplete Uses Places API (New): Enable "Places API (New)" and "Maps JavaScript API" for your Google key, or autocomplete and the map stop working.
485
486	* Security:
487	1. Visitor IP Address: Only valid IP addresses are accepted from proxy headers, and the "IP blocked" message is escaped.
488	2. reCAPTCHA v3: A score of 0.0 is now rejected.
489	3. Password Fields: Passwords are never shown in edit forms or restored drafts. Leaving the field blank keeps the stored password, and the edit log only records that it changed.
490	4. Field Values in Form Markup: The Checked Value of Decision Box and GDPR Agreement fields and the reCAPTCHA v2 and hCaptcha theme and size are now escaped.
491	5. Submitted Choices Checked on the Server: Image Select only accepts its own options (one, unless multiple choice is on). Repeater row limits (Pro), Advanced File Upload Max Files and Min File Size (Pro) and unreadable signatures (Pro) are now rejected by the server too.
492	6. Captcha Secret Keys: App Settings now hide the reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha and Turnstile secret key behind a show/hide toggle.
493
494	* New:
495	1. Live Smart Tags in HTML Elements: Field Smart Tags such as `${b1-3}` in an HTML element now fill in as the visitor types.
496
497	* Improvements:
498	1. Caching and Optimization Plugins: Forms keep their styling on sites that combine, minify or remove unused CSS (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, SiteGround Optimizer, Jetpack Boost, Hummingbird, W3 Total Cache, FlyingPress, Perfmatters and others). Developers can adjust the exclusions with the `bitform_cache_style_exclusion_patterns` filter.
499	2. Translatable Theme Settings: The theme gallery, the Create and Import theme windows, the label alignment menu and all theme messages can now be translated.
500	3. More Form Settings Are Free: "Allow single entry for each IP address", "Prevent empty form submission" and "Disable entry storing in WordPress database" no longer need Bit Form Pro. New blank forms now prevent empty submissions by default.
501	4. Address Autocomplete: Suggestions now come from Google Places API (New) and can be picked with the keyboard. Setup problems are reported in the browser console.
502	5. Builder Text: Typos and brand names are corrected across the form builder and settings ("Checkbox", "Placeholder", "PayPal", "reCAPTCHA", "Indian Rupee", "Label Position"), and the remaining English-only labels can now be translated.
503
504	* Fixes:
505	1. Payment Fields (Pro): If the form fails to submit after a successful payment, clicking the payment button again resubmits the form instead of charging the customer a second time. The Fixed amount type in Stripe, Mollie and PayPal now charges the fixed amount instead of the dynamic amount field.
506	2. Form Styling: A form no longer shows unstyled after you save it on sites whose CDN or cache kept the old stylesheet, and forms on pages with no `<!DOCTYPE html>` no longer pick up styles from look-alike class names (open the form in the builder and click Update to apply).
507	3. Name, Address and Confirm Fields: Renaming a Name or Address field (or importing a form with old names) no longer saves its value empty, and renaming an Email or Password field that has a confirm field no longer fails every submission with "The entered values do not match." Their Smart Tags show the joined parts ("Jordan Lee"). Existing forms are repaired when you update.
508	4. Dropbox and OneDrive: With "Delete File From WordPress" on, a file is removed from your site only after it reaches Dropbox or OneDrive, so a failed upload no longer loses it.
509	5. Save Draft (Pro): Logged-in visitors get their own draft back instead of entry #1's answers, a guest's draft keeps every later change, and a saved draft no longer lets a visitor bypass Single Entry Per IP.
510	6. IPv6 Visitors: Single entry per IP and the per-user IP limit now work for IPv6, and IPv6 addresses are stored and exported correctly (new entries only).
511	7. Access Rules (Pro): A hidden, earlier Custom Date range no longer closes the form, turning off one blocked address no longer switches on Allowed IP, and the Allowed IP message shows over the form like other rules (open the form in the builder and click Update to apply).
512	8. Captcha: The reCAPTCHA v3 token is verified once and the log shows the real result, the Tolerance Level box shows its full value, and Turnstile tokens are no longer saved as entry data or shown in exports.
513	9. Field Validation: Number and URL fields show their Invalid Error Message for text such as "12abc". Currency checks the real amount (not "1" for "$1,500.00") and Symbol Position works. Phone Number selects the default country, applies a custom RegEx pattern and replaces the dial code when the country changes.
514	10. Date Fields: Date, time, week, month and Date Time (Advanced, Pro) conditions give the same result in the browser and on submit, the picked time is kept, and range messages show readable dates.
515	11. Slider Field: A slider whose default is not a number no longer breaks the form on PHP 8, and Min equal to Max no longer errors.
516	12. Repeater Field: Row limits (Pro) are compared as numbers ("10" is no longer less than "2"), and a Maximum Row of 0 means no limit.
517	13. Advanced File Upload and Signature (Pro): Cropped or resized images upload as edited, Max Files and server upload errors are shown, `image/*` type rules work, and Readonly and Disabled apply. The Signature Clear icon settings and Pen Width range are fixed.
518	14. Choice Fields: Editing options as text keeps their Checked, Required, Disabled and image settings, and a multiple-choice Image Select matches every chosen option in conditional logic.
519	15. Text Kept as Typed: Multiline Text keeps line breaks in the saved entry, and the Title element keeps its spaces and line breaks.
520	16. Themes: The Theme button shows the applied theme after a reload, new and duplicated themes start from the base theme you pick (Pro), theme cards show every color, and PRO badges open the upgrade window.
521	17. Form Builder: Button Type choices (Submit, Reset, Step buttons, Save Draft style) work again, an empty Image Width or Height means auto, Size & Position works inside a Section or Repeater, and Pro-only settings saved earlier no longer show without Pro.
522	18. User Registration and Password Reset (Pro): Name and Address parts mapped to user fields are saved to the profile, Redirect Page mode in the activation settings is kept, and a used or expired reset link shows its notice inside the page.
523
524	= 3.3.1 =
525	* Release Date: 16 September, 2026
526
527	* New:
528	1. Conditional Blocks in Email and PDF Templates: Wrap part of a template in `${bf_if:field}` … `${bf_endif}` and it is sent only when that field has a value — so optional blocks, like a list of attendees, stop emailing empty rows. The editor's new Conditional Block menu inserts a block for any field, or wraps your selection.
529	2. Conditions Can Compare Values: A block can test the answer, not just whether there is one: `${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.
530	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.
531	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.
532
533	* Improvements:
534	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.
535	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.
536
537	* Fixes:
538	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.
539	2. A "Set value" rule no longer writes into a different field whose name attribute merely starts the same.
540	3. Two fields sharing one name attribute are now reported when you save the form, instead of one of them silently saving nothing.
541	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.
542	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.
543	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.
544	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.
545	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.
546
547	= 3.3.0 =
548	* Release Date: 24 August, 2026
549	* Heads up:
550	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.
551
552	* New:
553	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.
554	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.
555	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.
556	4. Field Auto-Mapping: Added an Auto Map button that matches your form fields to the service's fields in one click.
557	5. Unsaved Setup Is Kept: An unfinished integration setup is saved as a draft, so closing the drawer no longer loses it.
558	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.
559
560	* Improvements:
561	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.
562	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.
563	3. Integration Logs: A failed API call is now recorded against the entry. Before, a silently broken integration left no trace at all.
564	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.
565	5. Faster Multilingual Forms: Translated form content is now cached, and the multilingual code no longer loads on sites without a translation plugin.
566
567	* Fixes:
568	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.
569	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.
570	3. Signature On Entry Edit: Fixed a saved signature disappearing when an entry is edited, which also blocked saving when the signature was required.
571	4. Country Flag On Phone Fields: Fixed the flag jumping to the wrong country while typing, where countries share a calling code.
572	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.
573	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.
574
575	* Security:
576	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.
577	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.
578	3. Telegram Attachments: Attachment file names coming from a submission are validated before the file is read from disk.
579
580	= 3.2.2 =
581	* Release Date: 3rd August, 2026
582	* Improvements:
583	1. Bit Form Pro Updates: Improved the "Update Now" flow for updating Bit Form Pro from the plugins screen.
584
585	* Fixes:
586	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.
587	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).
588	3. OneDrive: Fixed the same file being uploaded more than once when a form mapped several file fields to the integration.
589	4. Bit CRM Integration: Fixed missing tag titles when a form was created from Bit CRM.
590
591	= 3.2.1 =
592	* Release Date: 28 July, 2026
593	* New:
594	1. Bit CRM Integration: Added Bit CRM as a form integration, so submissions can create and tag leads in Bit CRM automatically.
595
596	* Improvements:
597	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.
598	2. Entry Editing: Improved the entry edit screen and its save/update flow in the admin.
599
600	* Fixes:
601	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.
602	2. Entry Editing: Fixed the error message not being shown when an admin entry update failed.
603	3. File Uploads: Fixed a fatal error when a File Upload field inside a Repeater submitted more than one file.
604	4. Error Log: Stopped writing unnecessary entries to the WordPress debug log on every form submission.
605	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.
606
607	* Security:
608	1. Hardened the database query layer so a query condition can never contribute an unrecognised column name or comparison operator to a statement.
609	2. Sanitized form submissions made through internal field keys, closing a stored cross-site-scripting and PDF request-forgery path.
610	3. Our thanks to security researchers Artus KG, JING QIAN and Farid Narimanov for responsibly disclosing the issues addressed in this release.
611
612	= 3.2.0 =
613	* Release Date: 20 July, 2026
614	* New:
615	1. After Submit Behavior: Added a new setting to control the form behavior after submission (Hide Form, Reset Form, or Keep Form Values).
616	2. Active Status Toggle: Added an enable/disable toggle for Success Message, Redirect URL, Email Notification, PDF Template, and Integration settings.
617	3. WordPress Media Library Attachments: Added an option to select files from the WordPress Media Library as email attachments in the Email Notification settings.
618	4. Individual Conditional Logic (Pro): Added support for enabling or disabling conditional logic for individual features (Success Message, Redirect URL, Email Notification, and Integrations).
619	5. Conditional Email Routing (Pro): Added support for conditional routing in the "Send To Email" setting of Email Notifications.
620	6. PDF Header & Footer (Pro): Added editors for configuring PDF headers and footers in the PDF Template settings.
621
622	* Improvements:
623	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.
624	2. Success Message: Redesigned the UI/UX and improved the execution workflow for a better user experience.
625	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.
626	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.
627	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.
628
629	* Fixes:
630	1. Field Cloning: Fixed a name property conflict when cloning composite fields with child fields.
631	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.
632	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.
633
634	= 3.1.4 =
635	* Release Date: 13 July, 2026

655	2. Restricted file deletion to files that remain inside the entry upload directory and belong to the current entry metadata.
656	3. Inactive Form entry submission: Fixed an issue where inactive forms were still accepting submissions.
