Tiger Forms can bring your existing forms — and, where they exist, your past submissions — in from the most popular WordPress form plugins, so switching doesn’t mean rebuilding everything by hand.

Supported sources

  • Contact Form 7 — form fields (messages too, if you store them with the free Flamingo add-on)
  • WPForms — form fields and entries
  • Gravity Forms — form fields and entries
  • Ninja Forms — form fields and submissions
  • Fluent Forms — form fields and entries
  • Forminator — form fields and entries

Importing is included in both the free and Pro versions of Tiger Forms.

How to import

  1. Go to Tiger Forms → Import in your WordPress admin.
  2. Tiger Forms lists every form it finds in the other plugins on your site, with a field count and (where available) an entry count.
  3. Click Import next to a form. If that form has stored entries, tick entries to bring them across too.
  4. The form is recreated as a draft so you can review it, then publish when you’re happy.

Your other form plugin is only ever read from — Tiger Forms never changes, deactivates, or deletes anything in it. Run both side by side while you migrate, and remove the old one when you’re ready.

What comes across

  • Field types are mapped to their closest Tiger Forms equivalent.
  • Choice options (dropdown/radio/checkbox values) are preserved.
  • Required fields stay required.
  • Imported entries keep their original submission date.

What to double-check after importing

  • Labels — Contact Form 7 stores field names, not labels, so imported CF7 fields are labelled from the field name. Rename them to taste.
  • Advanced fields — very specialised source fields are imported as the nearest simple field; rebuild those with Tiger Forms’ native versions.
  • Notifications & integrations — set up email routing, payments and integrations fresh on the imported form.

Frequently asked questions

No. Tiger Forms only reads from the other plugin. Nothing in it is modified, deactivated or deleted, so you can run both side by side while you migrate.

Yes, where the source plugin stores them: WPForms and Gravity Forms entries, Ninja Forms submissions, and Contact Form 7 messages saved by Flamingo. Tick the entries box when importing.
