Breezing Forms is a professional form builder to create contact forms and any kind of custom forms for WordPress you can think of. Breezing Forms is suited for both, beginners and experts. You may create from simple to very sophisticated and complex multi step forms as it provides a clever interface to add and manage form elements quickly — while quick means easy.

Breezing Forms supports responsiveness and theme support.

The admin ui feels like home in WordPress and helps you to keep track of your form structure. No matter if simple or complex forms, you never get lost in the process and this makes it a huge advantage over classic drag-from-left-to-right form builders.

FAQ

Q. After installation, I always get the configuration screen. How can I get past it?

A. Please make sure the file and folder permissions are set correctly. The webserver use has to be able to write into the /wp-content/ folder.

Q. When I save a form I get a “catchable fatal error”. What to do?

A. This is most likely a permission issue. Please make sure to apply the appropriate rights to your files and folders. You can also try to 777 the folder /wp-content/breezingforms/ajax_cache/ (or create it if it doesn’t exist). Please revert the permissions once you are sure that this was the reason.

Q. My form doesn’t send emails. What did I do wrong?

A. Most likely nothing. Please go to BreezingForms => Configuration => and enable SMTP. The default PHP email system often causes trouble. Usually, SMTP works best. Also make sure you enter the SMTP login and server data correctly (if required by the server) and that you give a proper Mailfrom address. Also make sure that email notifications are enabled in your form.

Q. I am pretty sure the permissions on my server are correct, but I still can’t get past the setup screen (or still getting “catchable fatal error”). What else can I do?

A. If not exists, create the folder /wp-content/breezingforms/. Inside that folder, create an empty file called “facileforms.process.php”. Open BreezingForms again and see if you can get past the setup this time. If you still get “catchable fatal error”, try the FTP layer settings in the facileforms.config.php. The FTP can help fixing permission issues.

Q. Where do I find uploaded files?

A. By default, all uploads go into /wp-content/breezingforms/uploads/. You can change the upload folder in the main configuration or for each upload element in its advanced configuration.

Q. Where do I put a form theme?

A. All themes go into the folder /wp-content/breezingforms/themes/. After that, the theme will be available from the theme selection in the form editor.

Q. I want to edit the appearance of the PDF. How can I do that?

A. You find the templates for the PDFs in /wp-content/breezingforms/pdftpl/. One template is for record exports, the other for attachments.

Poor version of the joomla plugin with lack of updates

ivo71 September 18, 2022

The plugin has bugs and options from the Joomla version that are not working properly. Even after supplying multiple support requests, no update was made. This plugin hasn’t been updated since 2020. The plugin was great on Joomla, but it is a waste of money and time on Wordpress.

No recomiendo comprar la ver Pro

ginava March 8, 2021

Un formulario sencillo se puede hacer con la versión gratuita. Si requiere un formulario donde requiera incluir programación, la ver Pro. Tiene documentación muy pobre. Hay que estar contactando a soporte y además de que tardan mínimo 24 hrs. en contestar. Te envían ejemplos que no resuelven tu duda. Y es porque aunque se sabe programar, tiene muchas particularidades su sistemita y NO hay documentación donde puedas revisar y conocer sus especificaciones. En resumen NO lo recomiendo.

No where near as functional as the Joomla version

irocreate September 12, 2017

It seems like all the efforts in development is centered around the JOOMLA counterpart of this plugin. The Wordpress version of BreezingForms seems like it’s several years in development behind. Last time I tried to use Breezing Forms for Wordpress, I was having a heck of a time trying to get the plugin to configure in the database. But because I’m so well adjusted to the ease of use of the Joomla version, it’s hard for me to find a Wordpress form plugin that compares.

Great Plugin

Very Flexible Plugin

xmariopucox January 11, 2017

I really like this plugin, it’s simple yet very powerful. I used it on few of my projects and was able to build the forms I wanted. The scripts and pieces make it a very powerful plugin, and probably everything developers would ever need for all their forms. Also you can find many examples / guides on BreezingForms forum, which I found very handy. Great Plugin !
