As a WPForms alternative, Formidable goes deeper: beyond contact forms into calculator forms, web applications, and data-driven front-end displays that WPForms simply can't match. Looking for a JotForm alternative or Typeform alternative that keeps your data on your own server? Formidable is the answer. All form data stays in your WordPress database, not on an external SaaS platform. Formidable is also the top Contact Form 7 alternative for anyone who has outgrown CF7's limited feature set and wants drag and drop power on top. Compared to SurveyMonkey, Formidable Pro delivers professional survey forms, NPS forms, Likert scale fields, and real-time results directly inside WordPress, without a separate subscription. Ninja Forms users looking for more built-in power will find Formidable's form builder offers calculators, Views, and a web application builder that Ninja Forms add-ons can't replicate in a single plugin. Fluent Forms and Forminator users who need advanced calculator forms and a complete data display layer consistently upgrade to Formidable.

459		-* Fix: An unexpected redirect to global settings would happen when trying to view payments when only the Paypal payments migration has run.
460		-* Fix: Stripe scripts were not loading properly when the Lite minified JS was available but not the minified Pro scripts when using the free Stripe action.

488		-* New: A floating button has been added to some admin pages with links for documentation and support.

490		-* New: The field search has been improved. Inactive fields will no longer appear when there is no match, and categories will no longer appear when no children fields are visible.
491		-* New: Captcha key settings will now be trimmed on save to avoid unecessary whitespace characters reported to cause issues in some cases.
492		-* New: Form previews inside of Gutenberg blocks are no longer interactive and can no longer be submitted when clicking the submit button in the preview.

519		-* Fix: Repeater icons would appear darker than expected in Gutenberg block previews.
520		-* Fix: Improper use of the frm_validate_entry filter will now throw a message. Previously when a null value was returned, no validation would error, and a warning (or fatal error in PHP8) would occur. Now unless an array is returned, the previous error messages will be preserved and a message will be triggered for improper use.
521		-* Fix: The autocomplete page dropdown would be cut off because of an overflow styling issue when embedding a form into an existing page in a modal.
522		-* Fix: Using "description" as a field key would trigger a fatal error on entries list pages.
523		-* Fix: Search wasn't working on the Import/Export page.
524		-* The form builder now applies more strict filtering and escaping when previewing real time updates.
525		-

528		-* Fix: Added an extra check so invalid serialized data doesn't trigger any warning or errors when an unexpected array key type is found.
529		-* Fix: XML exports would fail to import because of an unexpected carriage return at the beginning of the file, or an unexpected meta tag added by the Equity WordPress theme. In these cases the XML string will now be corrected in order for the import to work.
530		-* Fix: Added a callable check to avoid a "Call to undefined function FrmProAddonsController::print_grace" error when upgrading.
531		-* Fix: The license warning banner would overflow on top of other page elements.
532		-* Fix: Added additional validation for style settings. Unexpected invalid characters will now be cleaned up automatically when a style is saved. A new warning will now also be displayed in the styler when a broken stylesheet is detected.
533		-* Fix: The utf8_encode function has been replaced as it is deprecated in PHP 8.2.
534		-* Input border radius is now included in styler card preview samples.

546		-* Fix: When searching for templates with the word application, all ready made solutions would appear first, making it difficult to search for an application form template.
547		-* Fix: The User Flow add on would display a time difference of 0 seconds as 52 years.
548		-* Fix: When using some shortcode options, including sanitize_url=0 or sanitize=0, the option would be treated the same as 1. 0 values will now be treated as off.
549		-* Fix: The gravity forms importer would not successfully install when clicking the Get Started button. Styling issues when the importer add on is active have also been fixed.
550		-* Fix: A redirect confirmation action with an empty redirect URL would exit early and fallback to using a message without checking the frm_redirect_url filter first for redirects set in custom code.
551		-* Fix: Field type checks have been added in several points to avoid decoding when unnecessary. This would cause issues when trying to use a JSON string as input in a Paragraph field.
552		-* The delete option for a collapsed section is no longer faded out.
553		-* Duplicating a collapsed section is no longer disabled.
554		-* Several functions deprecated in version 2.x have been removed.
