Formidable Forms

This skill enables management of Formidable Forms on WordPress sites.

Overview

Formidable Forms is a popular WordPress form builder plugin. This skill provides capabilities to:

List all forms on a site
Get detailed form information including all fields
Retrieve form entries/submissions
Analyze form structure

Prerequisites

The target WordPress site must have:

Formidable Forms plugin (free version or Pro)
For REST API scripts: Formidable API add-on (paid) with an API key configured

Available Scripts

list-forms

List all forms on the WordPress site.

Method: Uses wp eval to query Formidable's PHP API directly (no API add-on required).

Output: JSON array of forms with id, form_key, name, description, and status.

get-form

Get detailed information about a specific form including all its fields.

Parameters:

formId (required): The form ID or form key

Output: Form details plus array of all fields with their configuration.

get-entries

Retrieve entries/submissions for a form.

Parameters:

formId (required): The form ID
limit (optional): Number of entries to retrieve (default: 25)
page (optional): Page number for pagination (default: 1)

Output: Array of form entries with field values.

How It Works

These scripts use wp eval to execute PHP code directly on the WordPress server via WP-CLI. This approach:

Works without the paid Formidable API add-on
Accesses Formidable's internal PHP classes (FrmForm, FrmField, FrmEntry)
Returns JSON-formatted data

Common Workflows

Analyze form structure

Call list-forms to see all forms on the site
Call get-form with the desired form ID to see all fields and their configuration
Use field information to understand form structure

Export form data

Call get-entries to retrieve submissions
Use pagination parameters for large datasets
Process the JSON response as needed

Troubleshoot form issues

Call get-form to inspect field settings
Check field types, required status, and validation rules
Review conditional logic if configured
