## Deskripsyon

Sobi Forms is a lightweight contact form plugin built for speed and simplicity. 
Create multiple forms, embed them anywhere with a shortcode or Gutenberg block, 
and keep your front-end lean.

Learn more on the official site: [sobiforms.com](https://sobiforms.com) — features,
FAQ, and the [public roadmap](https://sobiforms.com/roadmap/).

**Performance-first front-end**

 * Vanilla JavaScript on the front-end
 * ~2.5 KB CSS + JS combined (gzipped transfer; ~8 KB unminified source on form 
   pages)
 * Assets enqueue only when a form is rendered on the page – zero impact on other
   pages
 * Script loaded in the footer with `defer` strategy (WordPress 6.3+)
 * No global front-end CSS frameworks

**Form builder (admin only)**

 * Redesigned editor for more comfort — form canvas on the left, settings sidebar
   on the right; save without a full page reload
 * Lucide icons in the admin builder and submissions inbox (modern, consistent UI)
 * Document-first drag-and-drop editor (React via WordPress `wp-element`, loaded
   only on the form edit screen)
 * Field types: text, email, link (URL), textarea, phone, number, select, multiple
   choice (radio tiles), multi-option checkbox
 * Field settings: number min/max; text min/max characters; show/hide label; textarea
   resize and max length
 * Radio and multi-checkbox options edited inline in the builder (add option, remove
   on hover); dropdown options in the field menu
 * Multiple recipient emails per form
 * After submit: inline success message or redirect to a published page
 * Availability: pause a form or auto-close at a date/time, with a visitor message
   when closed

**Embedding**

 * Shortcode: `[sobiforms id="3"]` or `[sobiforms slug="contact"]` (ID or slug required;
   slug is fixed after creation)
 * Gutenberg block: **Sobi Forms Contact** with form picker
 * Works with any page builder that supports shortcodes or blocks

**Submissions**

 * Email notifications via `wp_mail()` (HTML)
 * Optional visitor confirmation email — simple thank-you receipt to the submitter(
   per form, Notifications sidebar)
 * Per-form delivery — email notifications and/or database storage (new forms default
   to inbox storage)
 * Inbox with read/unread, starred, spam queue, admin notes, search and filters;
   split list + detail layout with resizable columns; **All / Unread / Starred**
   view tabs and per-form filter in the list header
 * Dashboard widget on the WordPress admin home — recent unread submissions at a
   glance
 * Optional Akismet spam filtering (when the Akismet plugin is active)
 * Honeypot, nonce verification, rate limiting (5 submissions/hour per hashed IP)

**Security**

 * Nonce on every submission
 * Honeypot field
 * Server-side field validation against a strict JSON schema
 * Capability checks and nonces on all admin actions
 * Optional Akismet integration — spam submissions quarantined when the Akismet 
   plugin is active

### Privacy Policy

Sobi Forms processes data submitted through your forms. Per form you choose how 
submissions are delivered:

 * **Email notifications** – when enabled and recipient addresses are set, field
   values are sent via `wp_mail()`.
 * **Visitor confirmation** – when **Visitor email confirmation** is enabled, the
   submitter may receive a simple thank-you at the address from the selected email
   field (no submitted field values in that email).
 * **Database storage** – when **Save to database** is enabled (default for new 
   forms in the builder), submissions are saved in custom tables on your site (`
   wp_sobiforms_submissions`, `wp_sobiforms_forms`). Each form has its own retention
   setting (auto-delete after N days). You can use inbox-only delivery with no email.
 * **Hashed IP** – when storage is enabled, a one-way SHA-256 hash of the visitor
   IP is stored with each submission for abuse prevention. Raw IP addresses are 
   not stored.
 * **Rate limiting** – a transient keyed by hashed IP limits submissions to 5 per
   hour. Transients expire automatically.
 * **Admin notes** – internal notes on submissions are stored in your database and
   never shown on the front-end or included in emails.
 * **No tracking** – Sobi Forms does not connect to third-party analytics or advertising
   when processing form submissions.
 * **Optional Akismet** – if you enable Akismet spam filtering and the Akismet plugin
   is active, submission content may be sent to Akismet’s service for spam checks.
 * **No data sent to the plugin author** – form submissions stay on your server 
   and mail server. The **Feedback** settings tab links to the WordPress.org support
   forum and [sobiforms.com/roadmap](https://sobiforms.com/roadmap/) only if you
   choose to open them.

Site owners are responsible for their privacy policy and lawful basis for collecting
visitor data.

## Pag-install

 1. Upload the `sobi-forms` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install `sobi-forms.
    zip` from **Plugins -> Add New -> Upload**.
 2. Activate **Sobi Forms** through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Go to **Sobi Forms -> Forms** and create your first form.
 4. Click **Embed** in the form editor to copy the shortcode, or insert the **Sobi 
    Forms Contact** block in the block editor.
 5. Paste the shortcode into any page (Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, widget, etc.).

## FAQ

### Does Sobi Forms slow down my site?

On pages **without** a form, Sobi Forms adds **no** front-end CSS or JavaScript.

On pages **with** a form, only a small vanilla JS file and a minimal stylesheet 
are loaded (~2.5 KB gzipped combined; ~8 KB unminified) – no React or heavy libraries
on the public site.

### Where is the form builder JavaScript loaded?

The admin builder (~97 KB minified script, ~27 KB gzipped transfer, plus WordPress-
bundled React via `wp-element`) loads **only** on **Sobi Forms -> Forms -> Edit**.
It never runs on the front-end.

### Can I use Sobi Forms with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders?

Yes. Use `[sobiforms id="3"]` or `[sobiforms slug="your-form"]`, or the Gutenberg
block. Assets load when the form HTML is rendered.

### Is database storage required?

No. Choose email notifications, **Save to database**, or both in the form editor’s
settings sidebar. New forms default to inbox storage; turn off **Save to database**
if you only want email.

### Does Sobi Forms include reCAPTCHA?

No. Sobi Forms uses a honeypot, WordPress nonces, and rate limiting. reCAPTCHA is
intentionally out of scope to keep the plugin lightweight.

### Does Sobi Forms work with Akismet?

Yes. When the Akismet plugin is installed and configured, enable **Use Akismet to
filter form spam** under **Sobi Forms  Resources  Usage** (on by default). Spam 
submissions are quarantined in the Submissions inbox, notification emails are skipped,
and visitors still see a normal success message.

### Can I pause a form or close it after a deadline?

Yes. In the settings sidebar under **Availability**, pause submissions immediately
or set a **Schedule close date** (your site timezone). Visitors see your unavailable
message instead of the form. Cached pages may still show an open form until the 
cache refreshes.

### Can I disable the plugin stylesheet and use my theme styles?

Yes. Use the `sobiforms_enqueue_front_assets` filter to disable CSS while keeping
AJAX submission.

### Where can I suggest features or see what is planned?

Visit [sobiforms.com](https://sobiforms.com) and the [roadmap](https://sobiforms.com/roadmap/)
to follow upcoming releases and submit ideas. For bugs and support, use the WordPress.
org support forum (linked under **Sobi Forms  Resources  Feedback**).
