Awesome Surveys is a free WordPress plugin designed to facilitate the creation and management of surveys on your website. It features an intuitive form builder, allowing users to easily design surveys and publish them using shortcodes. With the ability to collect responses directly on your site, you maintain full ownership of your data, without relying on third-party services. The plugin supports advanced form validation, user authentication options, and provides an admin backend for viewing survey results. The recent major update to version 2.0 has introduced custom post types for surveys, enhancing data management and organization.

However, users should be aware of certain limitations. Editing survey questions after responses have been collected is not possible, and there are potential translation issues if the survey was created in a different language than the site. Additionally, the plugin is no longer actively supported, and versions prior tomay contain vulnerabilities. While it offers valuable features for survey creation, users should proceed with caution, particularly regarding compatibility with their WordPress themes and the potential for cookie-based authentication circumvention.
