Formidable Forms

MKT AUTO
Velocity5.0

Advanced WordPress form builder with calculations, views, and data-driven applications

Formidable Forms 7.0.1 makes the builder preview reflect more Pro settings as they change.

◆Current state
Formidable Forms v7.0.1 extends the live builder preview to more Pro settings and warns admins when a hardened [frm-field-value] lookup is blocked. Same-day add-on patches fix REST-submitted signatures and inline calendars on multi-page forms. The week before, v7.0 hardened field-value shortcodes and several add-ons (Views, Coupons, Landing Pages) gained their own MCP tools.
◆Where it's heading
Formidable is doing two things in parallel: exposing each add-on to AI clients through MCP, one at a time, and tightening data escaping in the core after 7.0. The 7.0.1 warning shows the hardening has user-facing side effects the team is now smoothing over.
◆Prediction
Expect more add-ons to gain MCP management and further 7.0.x patches around blocked lookups.

    Formidable Forms v7.0.1

    The first 7.0 patch shows more Pro settings live in the builder preview and tells admins when the new [frm-field-value] hardening blocks a lookup. It smooths the rough edges of 7.0's security changes.

    Digital Signature Forms v3.2.1

    Signatures sent as a string through the REST API, such as from a Send API action, no longer fail validation. A narrow add-on fix.

    Landing Pages v1.0.04

    Landing pages join Views and Coupons as add-ons AI clients can manage through the Formidable MCP. It confirms the one-add-on-at-a-time MCP rollout, with two Yoast and settings fixes alongside.

    Formidable Forms v7.0

    The major version hardens the [frm-field-value] shortcode and escapes Lookup and Dynamic field data like other entry data, closing paths to unescaped HTML and data leaks. It also adds spam entries with a cleanup cron, a new entry state that Views already respects.

    Visual Views v5.13

    Views can now be listed, created, edited and deleted through the Formidable MCP, sort numerically on non-number fields and exclude spam entries. It applies both of this week's threads, add-on-level MCP and the new spam state, to the display layer.
