Everest Forms Form Restriction

Description

The Form Restriction add-on controls access to Everest Forms forms by applying limits per number of entries (day, week, month, year or total), a password, restriction to logged-in users, country block and scheduling by date and time. It allows custom messages to appear when the form is closed or unavailable, preventing submissions outside the defined window and protecting sensitive registrations from unauthorized submissions.

Key Features

• Entry limit
  Sets the maximum number of submissions allowed per day, week, month, year or in total accumulated.
• Password protection
  Requires an administrator-defined password before allowing the form to be filled out.
• Logged-in user restriction
  Blocks the form for anonymous visitors and allows it only for accounts authenticated in WordPress.
• Geographic restriction by country
  Prevents form access from origins outside the countries permitted by the administrator.
• Availability scheduling
  Configures specific dates and times to open and close the form to the public.

Benefits of Form Restriction

• Fewer unwanted submissions
  Reduces spam and duplicate entries by enforcing numeric caps and user access rules.
• Controlled exclusive content
  Holds sensitive forms for specific audiences via password or mandatory login.
• Campaigns with defined windows
  Triggers sign-ups, raffles and offers only within the planned period, without manual intervention.
• Clear communication on restrictions
  Custom messages explain to the visitor the reason for the block, reducing doubts and support contacts.

Who Is This For?

• Site administrators who receive many submissions and need to limit the daily, weekly or monthly submission volume.
• Organizers of raffles, selection processes, event registrations and applications with defined slots or deadlines.
• Member areas, intranets and portals that require login, password or geographic filter before giving access to internal forms.

The Form Restriction extension brings a single module that consolidates the main access control mechanisms expected in professional forms: numeric caps, password authentication, login requirement, geographic filter and time windows. It is suitable for teams that need to transform Everest Forms forms into selective channels, with clear rules about who submits, when they submit and how many times they can submit.
