Restrict WPForms Access to Admins

Agencies often struggle with WPForms because of editors deleting forms accidentally. Here is how to fix it.

The Problem with WPForms for Clients

While WPForms is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:

• Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
• "I broke the site" support tickets.
• A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".

The Manual Way (Hard)

You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.

The Client Calm Way (Easy)

WPForms makes form building easy—too easy. Editors can accidentally delete forms or break notification emails. Use role-based access to keep form management admin-only.

With Client Calm, you just:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Go to the Menu Manager.
3. Toggle off the WPForms menus you want to hide.

It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
