I\'m looking for a WordPress plugin which lets me build custom (contact) forms.

Question

I'm looking for a WordPress plugin which lets me build custom (contact) forms. I also need that form to create a post in WordPress upon submission.

Currently I'm using TDO Mini Forms plugin, but the plugin has a pretty severe security hole & has been abandoned by the author.

Plugin should:

Allow me to build custom forms
Inherit current WordPress theme
Allow me to set certain fields as required, also allow for minimum, max character limits
Allow me to save the entered form as a post with desired category, tags & support for custom fields
Send emails of submissions to WordPress blog admins (preferably) or to a specific set of users
Be free

I think Gravity Forms & Form Ninja allow me to do most of these, but are paid, and I'm looking at a free alternative. Also TDO Mini Forms, but for reasons mentioned about I can't use that.

Is there a free plugin which does what I want?

Explanation / Answer

I really doubt you'll find a software with those characteristics. Any of the cited products, Gravity Forms, Form Ninja, Contact Form 7, Jetpack, should offer an entry point for you to add this piece of functionality:

Allow me to save the entered form as a post with desired category, tags & support for custom fields

You will be looking for do_action calls inside the plugins' code. But normally this info is on the plugins' FAQ.

The first 3 requirements are pretty much default in all plugins. Sending emails too, but maybe needing settings adjustments or custom functionality.
