Overview
Dprime Forms 2.0 ships a full visual form builder. Drop field types onto a canvas, click to configure, drag the right edge to set width, drag fields by their grip to reorder.

Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin upgrade existing forms from 1.x?
Yes. Existing forms saved in dpf_settings continue to work unchanged. Any field saved without a width setting is treated as full width. The shortcode [dp_form id="..."], the table dp_form_submissions, and every frontend CSS class are unchanged.
How does the resize handle work?
Hover any field on the canvas to see a thin blue handle on its right edge. Drag it left or right; the field snaps to the nearest of 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, or full. You can also use the width buttons in the right settings panel.
Can I have more than one reCAPTCHA on a form?
No. The reCAPTCHA field is unique per form. The builder blocks adding a second one. If you need spam protection on multiple forms, add one reCAPTCHA field to each form.
Where are uploaded files stored?
Standard WordPress uploads directory (wp-content/uploads/YYYY/MM/). Filenames are sanitised by WordPress's own upload pipeline. The file metadata (filename, URL, MIME type) is stored in the new files column of the submissions table as JSON.
Does it work with WP Mail SMTP?
Yes. The plugin uses standard wp_mail which is intercepted by any SMTP plugin you install.
Updates and access
An active individual or portfolio entitlement provides new versions and support. After expiry, the installed local version remains but every update entitlement, support, and protected remote service access stop.
