Formidable Forms adds form abandonment analytics and deepens its multilingual and add-on ecosystem.

◆Current state
Formidable Forms is a mature WordPress form builder with a deep ecosystem of add-ons. Recent releases show a focus on two themes: analytics (abandonment tracking, completion rates, drop-off graphs) and multilingual support (WPML redesign). The core plugin and individual add-ons ship on an independent release cadence, reflecting the modular architecture that defines the product's extensibility model.
◆Where it's heading
The abandonment analytics work signals a move up the value stack — from form creation to form optimization. Drop-off graphs and completion rate stats give marketers data to act on, not just forms to publish. Combined with the MCP server compatibility work from the previous release cycle, Formidable appears to be expanding its surface area toward developer tooling and analytics without changing the core WordPress-native positioning.
◆Prediction
Abandonment analytics will likely expand to include A/B testing or field-level recommendations within 1–2 major releases. The MCP adapter compatibility work suggests integrations with AI tools are on the roadmap.

    Abandonment v1.2

    Abandonment v1.2 adds a drop-off graph and completion rate stats to the form Reports tab, plus auto-saved drafts for conversational forms including repeater fields. The analytics additions move Formidable beyond raw submission counts, giving publishers data on where users drop out of forms — a meaningful addition for lead gen and survey use cases.

    WPML Forms v2.0

    WPML Forms v2.0 redesigns the translation page with a single-language-at-a-time view and a language switcher, and consolidates repeated validation message translations so each message is translated once rather than once per field. A meaningful UX improvement for multilingual WordPress sites with large forms.

    Datepicker Options v3.1 migrates date range logic from the core Pro plugin into this add-on, improving compatibility across versions. A maintenance change that affects developers maintaining version dependencies, invisible to end users.

    Formidable Forms v6.35

    Formidable Forms v6.35 splits the range slider's Default Value into separate Start and End inputs that each accept shortcodes, and both are constrained to the field's min/max bounds. Alongside search results now surfacing repeater entry data and scale field improvements, this release reflects steady core ergonomic improvements.
