  Hi! I want to create a page on which people can submit information about an animal sighting, including the option to submit photos of their sighting (not to be posted on the website, but to be sent to the admin).

  I know there are Plugins to do this (WPForms, Jotform, etc), but Plugins require the Business Plan, and I only have the Personal plan (for now).

  Any idea how I could get around this problem and add an “upload an image” to the existing form templates, without purchasing the Business plan?

  Thanks!

  Hi there – Have you tried using the Google Form option for this? Their forms have a “File Upload” option.

  Try creating a form and using the built-in “File Upload” feature. Use this support article from Google to get that set up: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308632?hl=en

  Once the form is created, use our guide below to learn how to add the form to your site.

  Google Forms is free. With a little luck this will be just what you’re looking for. :)
