FAQ
-
Is Wiwi Forms GDPR compliant?
-
Yes. All form entries are encrypted with libsodium before storage. File uploads are encrypted on disk. An auto-delete retention policy lets you purge data after a configurable number of days. The GDPR Consent field auto-links to your Privacy Policy, Terms, and Cookie Policy pages.
-
Wiwi Forms uses no tracking cookies, sessions, or localStorage. On non-JavaScript submissions, it sets one functional cookie containing a random token for up to five minutes so the form can be re-populated after the redirect. The cookie is HTTP-only, SameSite=Lax, and Secure on HTTPS. Forms remain compatible with page caching solutions.
-
Does Wiwi Forms require jQuery?
-
The front end loads no jQuery. The admin settings screen uses WordPress’s bundled colour picker, which depends on jQuery.
-
I used this plugin when it was called Scriba — what changes?
-
Everything is renamed, including the shortcode and the way forms and entries are
stored. Use[wiwi-forms id="X"]in place of the old shortcode, and re-create forms
that were built under the old name. This was a one-off: the plugin had not been
released publicly under the old name, so the rename was done cleanly rather than
carrying two sets of names forever.
