A Wordpress plugin to enable encrypting and decrypting of data entered using Formidable Forms. Requires Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Plugin. Based upon original code by Victor Font.

Initial configuration

The following lines need to be added to wp-config.php, substituting the strings as described below.

define('FORMIDABLE_SALT', 'string);
define('FORMIDABLE_METHOD', 'string');
define('FORMIDABLE_OPTIONS', 0);
define('FORMIDABLE_IV', 'string');

FORMIDABLE_SALT

Generate a SALT value (choose any one and rename FORMIDABLE_SALT).

FORMIDABLE_METHOD

Choose an appropriate encryption method. e.g. AES-256-CBC

FORMIDABLE_OPTIONS

Is 0, here’s an explanation of openssl options.

FORMIDABLE_IV

“A non-NULL Initialization Vector” of a particular length according to chosen encryption method

“a random string with a length that must match the length required by your chosen cipher method. How do we know the iv length required by the chosen cipher method? We use the openssl_cipher_iv_length($cipher) function to find out.”
