Description
Kanshi validates form submissions in the WordPress backend before accepted entries continue through the site’s normal form workflow.
Supported integrations include:
- Elementor Forms
- Contact Form 7
- WPForms
- Gravity Forms
- Formidable Forms
- Generic fallback for many custom frontend forms
Only accepted submissions continue to the form plugin’s own handling, such as emails, stored entries, redirects, and follow-up actions.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin validate in the browser?
-
No. Kanshi validation happens on the WordPress backend so the API key is not exposed in frontend JavaScript.
-
What happens when Kanshi rejects a submission?
-
The plugin can either show an error or silently drop the submission, depending on plugin settings.
-
You can configure the plugin to accept entries, reject entries, or disable form handling until the API becomes reachable again.
-
No. The plugin does not include hidden analytics or tracking code. It only communicates with Kanshi endpoints required for license verification and form validation.
