I am sorry to hear you are having a problem creating a form.
We are not aware of any issues with Cognito forms that would have caused an Operation timed out message?
My first instinct is to ask you to try again as we have a number of wordpress users and I haven’t heard of any timeout issues recently.
If you are still having an issue if you could get us more info (WordPress Version, Website URL or website IP address ) I can look to see if we are seeing any errors on our end.
I also would invite you to signup at our main site https://www.cognitoforms.com/
Once your are signed up
You can alwats create your forms on the main site outside of wordpress and then later link them to your wordpress site but it all should work from WordPress as well.
