Core Forms 4.2.0-beta3

Pre-release. Iterating on v4.2.0-beta2 based on tester feedback.

What changed

WhatsApp actions now show in the per-form Add Action picker

All three v4.2.0 WhatsApp actions (Cloud API, Twilio WhatsApp, Click-to-WhatsApp redirect) live under a new Messaging & SMS category alongside Twilio SMS. They show up regardless of whether global WhatsApp Cloud credentials have been configured — credentials can be filled per-action when no global ones exist. Previously the picker only surfaced actions present in the static category map, so the three new actions were silently hidden.

Headless [CF_REFERRER_URL] etc. now resolve correctly

The headless submit endpoint now reads _cf_page_url from the JSON body and substitutes it into $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] for the duration of Forms::process(). The bundled embed.js automatically forwards window.location.href; the native-fetch snippet in the Headless tab now shows this pattern too.

Cross-origin Referer headers are stripped to the bare origin (https://example.com) by browsers under the default strict-origin-when-cross-origin policy, so without this [CF_REFERRER_URL], [CF_REFERRER_HOST], [CF_REFERRER_PATH], and [CF_POST_ID] were resolving to the WP REST endpoint's own URL on every embed.

Import page redesigned

  • Renamed in the sidebar from "Import (CF7)" to Import — this page will house migration paths from multiple form plugins.
  • New source-picker card grid: Contact Form 7 (active), plus Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, and Formidable as visibly muted "Coming soon" cards.
  • CF7 form list rebuilt as a custom card-style layout below the picker rather than a wp-list-table.
  • Replaced the WP-native red-bar notice-error with a clean inline empty state.

Typeform-style mode is prominent

Promoted from a buried row inside the "Add-ons" accordion at the bottom of the Settings tab to a dedicated Display mode card at the top, with a marketing-style pitch panel explaining what Fullscreen mode is for. Card auto-opens when the form is already in fullscreen.

Carried over from earlier betas
