    plugins/` directory via FTP.

## FAQ

### Does this require jQuery?

No. jQuery is not needed to perform ajax form submitting, therefore we don’t include
on frontend and your site will be light and fast.

### Can I store submissions?

Yes. Your submissions will be stored in database, so you can keep track of them.

### Is there spam protection?

Yes. We have a basic honeypot checker to prevent spam bot sending their stuffs. 
Also we have support for Google ReCaptcha (v2,v3) to stop spam bot sending form 
and to help you take things clean. Apart from this, data submitted are always validated
and sanitized.

### Can I use forms with Elementor or other page builders?

Yes, you can insert Formello forms using a shortcode.

 [Yaland](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dronvegas/) July 31, 2024 2 replies

Hello!I really like this plugin, but we have two problems: ajax_url undefined on
frontend; js validation for inputs broken: TypeError: Cannot read properties of 
undefined (reading ‘settings’) at e.onload (frontend.js:1:3422) I guess this issues
from one point – is a defining ajax path.
