For a long time there has not been a WordPress plugin that supports Multi-Page forms. In fact, in 2009 I had a huge need for this solution and was unable to locate a plugin to fill my need, so I created a solution for myself.
But there is better way!
Just the other day, I was on Twitter and saw a tweet from Cory Miller [@corymiller303] which mentioned that Gravity Forms (afflink) newest release was going to feature the Multi-Page Form capability!
I first stumbled upon Gravity Forms in 2009 when I was searching for a solution to may previously mentioned problem. Â At the time they did not have a solution for me, but I have since noticed Gravity Forms being talked about by tons of people. Â So I looked into it again and discovered that Gravity Forms is such an awesome plugin, and provides a great solution for creating and using forms on your WordPress site. Â And this new Multi-Page feature takes this plugin over the top for me!
I snagged this little excerpt from their blog discussing the release of version 1.5:
Multi-Page Forms
One of the most widely requested features is finally here, multi-page form capabilities. Using the new Page Break field you now have the ability split longer forms into multiple pages or steps. We have also integrated a visual paging status bar that can be used to show a progress bar or the steps involved in completing the form.
This new Multi-Page feature that Gravity Forms has added will really offer a huge advantage to anyone that needs to add these types of forms to their WordPress site!
What user level was this plugin created for?
ALL! Â Gravity Forms is a plugin that is easy to use no matter what level of experience you have. The beginner can easily create and manage forms, and the developer/programmer can use Gravity Forms to eliminate a lot of the work involved in creating forms. Â This plugin offers the basic features, but it houses a ton of power-house features to make it with using!
This video will take you on a tour of the Gravity Forms plugin:
What you need to know
Gravity Forms is not free!
I almost always try to find a plugin that is free when I promote something new that is as awesome as this new feature, but there still is no free plugin that provides this capability! Â Not one that I have found anyway…Do you know of one? Â Please share the link to the FREE plugin in the comments!
So because I could not find a free solution for this problem and because the tutorial I wrote several years ago is somewhat complex and people don’t really like it as an option, I decided to hunt down a promo code to make Gravity Forms more affordable! The promo code I found will get you 25% off at Gravity Forms.

well, obviously you didn’t research much on the subject, both Fast Secure Forms and cForms (to the very least) have had this feature for years. They’re the most used forms in WordPress, so how strange your research didn’t find them. But well… they won’t pay you
Well, it is true that I am an Affiliate for Gravity Forms, but that is not why I recommend this plugin. I recommend it because it is the best WordPress Plugin for creating forms, bottom line.
When I first need a solution, it was early 2009, and none of the plugins provided support for multipage forms. Since then, I’ve tried and tested the other plugins you’ve mentioned, but I did not like them. Nothing worked as smoothly and seamlessly as Gravity Forms.
You can hate me for being smart and making a commission for recommending a plugin that is awesome and I use every day, but I’d still only recommend this plugin even without the Affiliate commission.
I use to recommend a bunch of different plugins that provided the same solution, some paid some free, but I realized that putting people through the headache of playing with and finding the same issues and complications I did wasn’t helpful. Providing the best solution, the one that dominates all others, is helpful!
Hi Chris!
There is a new multi-page form plugin for WordPress. BreezyForms used to be for Joomla only, but they have released a free WordPress plugin that allows you to create multi-page forms.
Hey Larry, thanks for the info!
I’ve never been a fan of Joomla. But if there is a new plugin for WordPress that works as well as Gravity Forms and is free, I’m sure some people would love to know about it.
Do you have a link to the plugin? I looked, not really hard, but did not see one…
