BU WordPress includes Gravity Forms, a premium WordPress plugin for easy creation and management of web forms.

See the security notice at the top of the Gravity Forms builder for guidelines about what information you can, and cannot, collect via web form.

For some special uses, especially processing credit card payments,  simple payment forms may be created using Gravity-Nelnet Add On Plugin; more complex payment forms may require IS&T assistance using Marconi form processor to process payments.

Three important FAQs about web forms in WordPress:

  1. Only use one form per page in WordPress.  For accessibility and security purposes, publishing more than one web form per page is not supported.
  2. Web forms in WordPress are not supported inside collapsible content sections.
  3. The CAPTCHA challenge is added automatically, so you should a) not add it to your form; and b) you will not see it on your form if you are logged into WordPress as the site admin.
