JetFormBuilder Limit Form Responses

When a form should accept only a set number of entries, this plugin lets site owners define an overall submission cap. It can also restrict repeat submissions using an IP address, cookies, session values, or logged-in status. These controls suit event registrations, surveys, voting forms, job applications, and other situations where managing the number or source of entries matters.

Configure limits and restriction behavior within JetFormBuilder forms. Checks take place when the form is displayed and when a submission is sent, helping prevent users from bypassing a cap through page reloads or manual resubmissions. You can set a reset interval for counters and provide custom messages for restricted, closed, error, or not-logged-in states, with shortcode support and styling options.

Features

• Overall submission cap: Set a maximum number of submissions for a form to control how many total entries it accepts.
• Per-user restrictions: Limit repeat entries using an IP address, cookie value, session value, or the user's logged-in status.
• Scheduled counter resets: Set reset intervals for submission counters so a form can reopen after a chosen period.
• Custom restriction messages: Display personalized messages when a form is closed or a user reaches a limit, is restricted, or is not logged in.
• Shortcodes in messages: Add shortcodes to restricted, closed, error, or not-logged-in messages to include dynamic content.
• Styled notices: Apply custom styles to restriction and error messages to match the appearance of your site.
• Checks at display and submission: Check limits when the form is rendered and submitted to guard against manual resubmissions and page reloads.
