What it does
Some forms should not be open to everyone at all times. A contest needs a closing time, an event registration needs a capacity limit, and a private poll should only reach the people it was meant for. This addon gives each form its own set of access rules, so you can decide who gets in and when, without writing code or editing templates. It works inside WPForms, so the rules sit alongside the rest of your form settings.
The available lockers cover several common needs. Password protection and members-only access keep forms private. Age verification asks for a valid birth date, and email confirmation checks an address before a submission goes through. Timed submissions handle opening and closing automatically, while limits on total entries, entries per email and entries from specific IP addresses help keep results fair and reduce duplicates and spam. It suits contests, giveaways, timed surveys, membership sign-ups and event registrations.
Best for
- Sites running contests, giveaways or limited promotions
- Event organizers who need capped, time-limited registrations
- Membership sites with private forms for logged-in users
Features
Password-protected forms
Require visitors to enter a password before they can use a form, so only people you share it with can submit their information.
Scheduled opening and closing
Set exact start and end times for a form so it opens and closes on its own, which works well for contests and limited-time registrations.
Members-only access
Show a form only to users who are logged in to your WordPress site, keeping sign-ups or requests limited to your registered members.
Total entry limits
Cap the number of entries a form accepts so event spots, giveaways or promotions close automatically once they reach capacity.
Per-email submission limits
Control how many submissions can come from a single email address, which cuts down on duplicate entries and keeps contests fair.
Email confirmation locker
Verify a visitor's email address before they are allowed to submit, helping make sure entries come from real people with working addresses.
Age verification
Ask for a valid birth date before submission, useful when a form needs to meet age requirements or collect parental consent.
IP restrictions
Block submissions from specific IP addresses to stop known bots or repeat offenders and keep your form data cleaner.

Questions about WPForms Form Locker
Does this work on its own or do I need WPForms?
It is an addon for WPForms, so it extends forms you build with that plugin. The locker settings add access rules such as passwords, schedules and entry limits to your existing WPForms forms.
Can I stop a form from accepting entries after a certain date?
Yes. Timed submissions let you set exact opening and closing times for a form. Once the closing time passes, the form stops accepting entries without you having to switch it off by hand.
How can I prevent people from entering a contest more than once?
You can limit how many submissions come from a single email address and block specific IP addresses. Combined with a cap on total entries, these options help reduce duplicate and spam submissions.
Can I make a form visible only to my site members?
Yes. The members-only option restricts a form to logged-in users, so visitors who are not signed in cannot submit it. You can also add a password for an extra layer of privacy.
Is WPForms Form Locker free?
The code of WPForms Form Locker is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of WPForms Form Locker is this?

How do I update WPForms Form Locker?
