Formidable Datepicker Options is a WordPress addon built specifically for Formidable Forms. It replaces the basic date input in your forms with a full interactive calendar that can be configured to match how you collect data. You control the date format shown to users, so the same field can display as MM/DD/YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY, or another layout you prefer. The year dropdown can be restricted to a certain span, which is helpful when you only want recent or upcoming years available. You can also prevent selection of specific dates, such as holidays, closure days, or fully booked slots, and limit choices to particular weekdays for appointment-based forms. Date range selection is included too, letting visitors choose a start and end date in a single flow. All of this is configured through the existing Formidable field settings, so no custom code is required to get the behavior you want. This makes it suitable for everything from simple inquiry forms to complex booking systems.
The visual side of the datepicker can be adjusted to fit your site. Several pre-built themes are available, and you can modify colors or add your own CSS if you want a more exact match. A few handy shortcuts let users pick Today, Tomorrow, or Next Week with one click, reducing typing effort. There is also a setting to define which day starts the calendar week, which is useful for audiences that expect Monday rather than Sunday. Validation rules give you control over data quality: you can block past dates, force a minimum or maximum date, or require selections to fall within a certain range. The datepicker is fully responsive, so it adapts cleanly to phones and tablets without clipping or awkward zoom. Because everything is managed from the WordPress dashboard, setting up a refined date field takes only a short time after you create your form. These features make the addon feel like a natural extension of Formidable rather than a separate tool.
Where this addon really helps is in practical situations. An event registration form can limit available choices to the days when the event actually runs, while an appointment scheduler can remove weekends and already booked times. An online store can ask customers for a preferred delivery date, and an educational site can let students pick a course start date within an open enrollment period. Even simpler forms, such as a contact page asking when someone is available, become easier to fill out correctly. The chosen dates are stored as normal Formidable entries, so they appear in your existing views, exports, and any connected workflows. Multiple datepicker fields can be added to the same form, each with its own format and restrictions. This flexibility makes the plugin useful across different types of websites without requiring any template coding or custom development work. The interface stays consistent with the Formidable administration area, so the learning curve is minimal.

On the technical side, the addon uses established JavaScript libraries to render the calendar, and the code stays lightweight enough to avoid noticeable slowdowns on your pages. It works consistently across the major desktop browsers and is built to cooperate with the broader WordPress ecosystem. Regular updates have brought better compatibility with newer Formidable Forms versions, along with useful additions such as importing a list of blocked dates from a CSV file, independent controls for each weekday, and improved keyboard accessibility. You need Formidable Forms installed and activated for the addon to function; it has no standalone form builder of its own. The plugin is distributed under the GPL license, which means you can modify it and use it in commercial projects. For anyone already relying on Formidable Forms, this addon gives a level of date control that would otherwise require custom JavaScript. The settings panel reflects the same style as Formidable, so finding the new options does not feel jarring.
