If you find this project helpful, consider showing your support by buying me a coffee! Your contribution helps me keep developing and improving this plugin.
Enjoying the plugin? Feel free to treat me to a cup of coffee ☕🙂 through the following options:
Installation
Quick Install – as Plugin
- Download ZIP: purify-wpforms-lite.zip
- Upload via WordPress Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
- Once activated, you’ll see the tweaked stuff within the Admin Area and in the Admin Bar.
Alternative: Use as Code Snippet
- Below, download the snippet version
- Import, then activate in your snippets plugin
Download .json version for version for: Code Snippets (free & Pro), Advanced Scripts (Premium), Scripts Organizer (Premium)
–> just use their elegant script import features
–> in Scripts Organizer use the “Code Snippets Import”
For WPCode Lite use this .json download file
For all other snippet manager plugins just use our plugin’s main .php file purify-wpforms-lite.php and use its content as snippet (bevor saving your snippet: please check for your plugin if the opening php tag needs to be removed or not!).
–> Please decide for one of both alternatives!

Description
This plugin removes all the promotional / upsell stuff that WPForms Lite is stuffing within itself and the WordPress Admin Area. That way you are not distracted and can actually just USE the free lite version of this form builder / forms manager plugin.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It may seem not much but the removing of “stuff” will make the difference, believe me.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did you even bother and create such a plugin/snippet?
When working on a client site some years ago other options were not possible or allowed (reasons don’t matter here) and I had to use WPForms Lite. While this plugin works just fine, all the promotional “things” and the aggressive upselling got on my nerves in a way that I had to do something about it. The result of that “something” you can see and install here. 😉
It’s completely up to you to buy the Pro Version of WPForms. I love premium plugins and have nothing against them. What I do NOT love is taking over the WordPress Admin and aggressively pressuring on my nerves when I have serious work to do. Period.
Does this plugin/snippet add any new features?
No. This is intentional. If you don’t want my “purify” plugin/snippet you can buy the WPForms Pro version or look for any other alternative.
Is WPForms Lite any good?
Yes. It is a great plugin with some great and unique features. It works very well even in the free version.

Plugin Scope / Disclaimer
This plugin comes as is.
Disclaimer 1: So far I will support the plugin for breaking errors to keep it working. Otherwise support will be very limited. Also, it will NEVER be released to WordPress.org Plugin Repository for a lot of reasons (ah, thanks, Matt!).
Disclaimer 2: All of the above might change. I do all this stuff only in my spare time.
Most of all: Enjoy your code snippet work again. And now, have fun building great sites!!! 😉
