Does Elementor Pro let you export form submissions?

Yes. Go to Elementor → Submissions in your WordPress dashboard. Click Export All to CSV to download every entry, or tick checkboxes on specific rows and click Export Selected to CSV. A date filter is available to narrow entries before exporting. No row limit, no extra plugin needed.

That covers the basics. The rest of this guide is about what Form Vibes adds when you need more than a full download.

  • Go to Form Vibes → Submissions in your WordPress dashboard.

Filtered Export – export by date range or field value

When you need entries from a specific time period or matching specific criteria.

  • Go to Form Vibes → Submissions and select your Elementor form.
  • Click the date range selector and choose a preset – Today, Last Week, Last Month, or Last Quarter or use the custom date picker for a specific window.
  • Click the filter icon to narrow down entries before exporting. Form Vibes Pro provides two filtering options:
    • By submission status – filter to only Read, Unread, or Spam entries. Useful when you want to export only new unread leads, or pull out flagged spam entries separately.
    • By field value – filter by a specific form field, for example only entries where a Service field equals “Web Design.” You can stack multiple conditions with AND or OR logic between them.
  • Click Quick Export. Form Vibes exports only the entries matching your active filters.

  • Go to Form Vibes → Export Profiles in your WordPress dashboard and click Add New.
  • At the top of the settings page, select Local Download to export as a CSV file.
  • Open the Data Source tab. Select your Elementor form from the form dropdown. Set a date range. Add any filter conditions you need, such as filtering by a specific field value or submission status. Stack multiple conditions with AND or OR logic between them.
