WPZOOM Forms → Settings holds the options that apply to all forms on the site: how the plugin’s styles and scripts load, spam protection, AJAX submission and integrations. (Everything specific to one form — fields, notifications, look — lives in the Form Builder; see Managing Your Forms.)
Loads the plugin’s form stylesheet (the Form Style themes, layouts, etc.). Turn off to let your theme style inputs and buttons; Form Style choices then have no effect.
Load assets on all pages
On
Loads the plugin’s CSS/JS on every page. Keep it on if you embed forms via shortcode in page builders, widgets or templates, where the plugin can’t detect the form in advance. Turn off only to shave a request on pages without forms — then forms inserted outside post content may render unstyled or lose the date picker / CAPTCHA / conditional logic.
Spam Protection
Akismet status box — shows whether the Akismet plugin is installed and active. When it is, every submission is checked automatically and suspicious ones land in the Spam view of Submissions (no configuration needed here).
Service cards — choose None, reCAPTCHA or Turnstile. Only one CAPTCHA service can be active, and it applies to all forms.
reCAPTCHA → Type: reCAPTCHA v2 (visible “I’m not a robot” checkbox on forms built with the 2.0 builder; invisible badge on forms created with 1.x, for which Badge Location applies) or reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible, score-based). Enter the Site Key and Secret Key for the type you use.
Turnstile → Site Key, Secret Key, and a live Widget Preview that verifies your keys against Cloudflare right on the settings page (Widget Theme applies to 1.x forms).
The invisible honeypot field is not here — it’s a per-form toggle in the builder under Settings → Enable spam honeypot field (on by default).
AJAX Settings (PRO)
Allows users to submit forms without reloading the page — on by default in PRO. The form sends in the background and shows the result inline (no page reload, no jump to the top).
Default texts shown during/after an AJAX submission: Sending Message, Success Message, Error Message, Validation Message. A form’s own Success/Failure message (Notifications panel) takes precedence when set.
In WPZOOM Forms (free) this tab is shown locked; forms submit with a normal page reload.
Integrations (PRO)
Mailchimp — paste your Mailchimp API Key and click Connect to Mailchimp. Once connected you see your audiences, Refresh Lists and Disconnect. Enabling Mailchimp for a specific form is done in the builder (Settings → Integrations). Full guide: Setting Up the Mailchimp Integration.
Saving and resetting
Save Settings — saves the current tab’s changes (and all tabs).
Reset Settings — restores every setting on this page to its defaults (styling on, no CAPTCHA, AJAX on, CAPTCHA keys cleared). It does not touch your forms or their submissions.
