The latest updates to the BoldForm Free plugin

BoldForm Free

v1.1.7 – 08/13/26

  • Added: Conversational Forms — show any form one question at a time. Turn it on per form; your fields, layout and conditional logic stay as they are.
  • Added: An optional welcome screen, plus a progress bar, dots, counter or percentage.
  • Added: Per-screen images — left, right or behind the question — with their own colours.
  • Added: Position and colour the Back/Next buttons and the progress indicator.
  • Added: A new Set Amount Limits switch on the Custom Amount field, off by default.
  • Improved: A required dropdown left empty is now caught before the form is sent.
  • Improved: Locked field, template and export prompts can be worded for activation instead of upgrade.
  • Fixed: The Tools → Entries export format selector no longer disappears when an add-on is installed.
  • Fixed: Field errors now appear under the field they belong to, and the error summary sits at the foot of the form next to the submit button.

v1.1.6 – 08/03/26

  • Added: Form Migrator — import Contact Form 7 forms into BoldForm; re-import anytime to sync changes without duplicating.
  • Added: Page Break field settings — per-step title, three progress-indicator styles, and Next/Previous button styling.
  • Added: Checkbox fields can render as a Switch instead of a tick box, per field.
  • Improved: The template library now lists premium templates too, marked with a padlock.
  • Improved: The Forms list gains search, sortable columns, and pagination.
  • Improved: Templates are grouped into collapsible categories, with a notice when a template needs a disabled module.
  • Fixed: Exported forms with quoted markup or special characters no longer import with empty fields.
  • Fixed: A required Terms & Conditions checkbox now shows the red required asterisk.
  • Fixed: Clearing the Slider Height, Star Size, or Max File Size box now restores its default instead of the minimum.
  • Fixed: The Entries bulk "Apply" button now stays disabled until a row and an action are selected.
  • Fixed: Dragging a file onto the File Upload field no longer gets silently ignored.
  • Fixed: Applying a Design Theme now actually recolors the form, asking first if it would overwrite custom colors.

  • Fixed: The Email Notification tab's User Confirmation section now reveals its options reliably.
  • Fixed: A checkbox/radio option in the template preview no longer shows a doubled tick.
  • Fixed: The BoldForm sidebar menu now correctly highlights the current page.
  • Developer: New boldform_migration_sources filter to register a Form Migrator source for another form plugin.

v1.1.5 – 07/21/26

  • Security: An email field now rejects a malformed address instead of silently "correcting" it, closing a header-injection route.
  • Security: Cc and Bcc on the visitor's confirmation email are now re-validated the same way the admin notification's already were.
  • Added: BoldForm_Lite::supports() — add-ons can check for a capability instead of comparing version numbers.
  • Added: boldform_lite_admin_email_to filter — route the admin notification's recipient (used by Pro's Conditional Email Routing).
  • Added: boldform_lite_admin_email_attachments / boldform_lite_user_email_attachments filters — attach files to either email (used by Pro's PDF Attachment).
  • Added: send_user_email() now carries attachments; the user confirmation could not attach a file before.
  • Added:Builder renders .boldform-email-routing-slot and .boldform-email-attachment-slot so add-ons can extend the email block without collisions.

v1.1.4 – 07/16/26

The latest updates to the BoldForm Pro plugin

BoldForm Pro

v1.1.4 – 08/13/26

  • Added: Activating your license unlocks Pro permanently. An expired license or a moved domain never takes your forms away — only updates and support pause.
  • Added: Custom Amount is now a standalone payment field — a donation or tip form needs only the amount and a submit button, with optional minimum and maximum limits.
  • Improved: An activation reminder across BoldForm's admin screens that recognises a site moved to a new domain.
  • Improved: Premium fields, templates and integrations show as "Locked" with a link to activate, instead of a generic upsell.

  • Fixed: Password protection, entry limits, Anti-Spam and Approval keep working while locked.
  • Fixed: A form built with Pro fields no longer renders empty labels and refuses submissions before activation.
  • Fixed: A wrong key no longer overwrites the stored license, and a license can be removed even when the store is unreachable.
  • Fixed: A form with a payment field but no Order Summary could never be paid.
  • Fixed: An amount below the minimum or above the maximum is now refused, instead of being quietly changed to the nearest limit and charged.

  • Added: PayPal Smart Buttons for a faster in-page checkout, with automatic fallback to the standard PayPal redirect.
  • Improved: Multi-step progress styling gets a customizable background color; the Page Break field matches standard field styling.

  • Fixed: Improved Stripe payment reliability, including block-theme rendering and clearer configuration messages.

  • Fixed: The “incomplete rule” notice now clears the moment a field is chosen.
  • Fixed: A routing rule on a since-deleted field is now ignored instead of matching every submission.
  • Fixed: A {field:…} recipient resolves to exactly one address, so a visitor can’t inject a list.

v1.1.1 – 07/15/26
