Getting Started

Install the Plugin

1. Download SkunkForms from the download page or search for "SkunkForms" in your WordPress plugin directory
2. Upload and activate the plugin
3. Navigate to SkunkForms → Add New in your WordPress dashboard

That's it — no API keys, no account creation, no configuration wizards. You're ready to build. (New to WordPress forms? Check our complete contact form guide for a broader walkthrough.)

Create Your First Form

SkunkForms uses the WordPress block editor, so if you've ever edited a page in WordPress, you already know how to build forms.

Quick start

1. Go to SkunkForms → Add New
2. Give your form a name (e.g., "Contact Form")
3. Add blocks — drag in fields like Text Input, Email, Textarea, or Select
4. Configure each field's label, placeholder, and validation
5. Hit Publish

Embed your form

Once published, you can embed your form anywhere:

• Block Editor — Add the "SkunkForms" block and select your form
• Shortcode — Use [skunkforms id="123"] in any post, page, or widget
• PHP — Call <?php echo do_shortcode('[skunkforms id="123"]'); ?> in your theme

What's Next?

• Form Templates — Start with pre-built templates instead of blank forms
• Conditional Logic — Show and hide fields based on user input
• CRM Integration — Automatically send leads to SkunkCRM
