Form Block vs SocialCrew Widgets

WordPress offers several (contact) form plugins, but most of them are not up-to-date anymore when it comes to creating forms. Form Block tackles this problem by utilizing the block editor’s power. It enables you to create a form effortlessly within the block editor itself, which makes the process of creating a form much more enjoyable and similar to creating other types of blocks. This innovative approach to form creation ensures that Form Block stands out from other WordPress form plugins. Note: This plugins requires the PHP extension “Document Object Model” (php-dom).

SocialCrew Widgets loads the official SocialCrew widget runtime from widgets-api.socialcrew.io when a page contains a widget shortcode or the SocialCrew block. Shortcode [socialcrew_widget] with catalog parameters (type, team, league) or a direct space id. Shortcode [socialcrew_widget_saved] for presets you save under Settings → SocialCrew Widgets. Gutenberg block SocialCrew Widget to pick a saved preset. Settings screen with a shortcode builder, preview in a new window, and saved widget management. The plugin loads the space catalog from the SocialCrew widgets API (GET /plugin/v1/space-catalog) on the server on demand (when you pick options in the builder, or when a shortcode needs to resolve a space). No setup is required after install—the production API URL and read-only credentials are built into the plugin. Catalog responses are cached briefly in WordPress transients. External services This plugin relies on SocialCrew’s hosted widget loader to render widgets in the visitor’s browser. What the service is: The endpoint https://widgets-api.socialcrew.io/load serves the JavaScript module that powers the widget UI (tables, fixtures, polls, etc.) when your site outputs the plugin shortcode or block. What data is sent and when: On each page view where a widget is embedded (or when you use the admin preview), the visitor’s browser requests that URL. Typical query parameters are space (the widget identifier), adaptive=true, and optional showHeader. The plugin does not intentionally send WordPress user credentials or private admin data to SocialCrew—only the public widget parameters needed to render the embed. Documentation (widgets product): SocialCrew Widgets Terms of Use: https://widgets.socialcrew.io/termos-de-uso Privacy policy: https://widgets.socialcrew.io/politica-de-privacidade Privacy When a visitor loads a page that embeds a SocialCrew widget, the browser requests a JavaScript module from widgets-api.socialcrew.io. Query parameters may include the widget space id, adaptive=true, and optional showHeader. On the server, the plugin may call api-v1.widgets.solutions to refresh the read-only space catalog (type/team/league to space id). That request uses credentials embedded in the plugin package; visitors never see those credentials. The plugin does not send your WordPress user data to SocialCrew by default. Site administrators configure widgets in wp-admin; only public widget parameters are used in the front-end script URL. For questions about data processed by SocialCrew’s servers, refer to the External services section above, the privacy policy at widgets.socialcrew.io/politica-de-privacidade, and the terms at widgets.socialcrew.io/termos-de-uso.
