Hey @patriciafoster!

You can export your Contact Form Builder forms by exporting MySQL database tables of the plugin, and importing them into the database of your new website. Please follow the steps below:

Please uninstall Contact Form Builder from your second site, if you have it installed there.

On your first WordPress site:

1. Go to PHPMyAdmin of your site,
2. open your WordPress site database,
3. select Export menu item,
4. change the radio button from Quick to Custom,
5. unselect all tables and select the following 5 only:

[wp1_prefix]_contactformmaker
[wp1_prefix]_contactformmaker_blocked
[wp1_prefix]_contactformmaker_submits
[wp1_prefix]_contactformmaker_themes
[wp1_prefix]_contactformmaker_views

(where [wp1_prefix] is your WordPress database prefix)

6. scroll all the way down and press the Go button. This will export an SQL file containing those tables.

On your second WordPress site:

7. Go to your WordPress database,
8. select Import menu item,
9. browse for the exported SQL file,
10. scroll all the way down and press Go button. This will import the form maker tables to your WordPress database.

Now you need to change the prefix for those tables to the one that is set for your second WordPress database.

11. Select [wp1_prefix]_contactformmaker table from the left pane of PHPMyAdmin of your second WordPress database ,
12. select Operations menu item from top menu
13. scroll to Table Options box and edit the value of Rename table to field with the second WordPress database prefix, so that the table name now looks like this: [wp2_prefix]_contactformmaker (where [wp2_prefix] is your second WordPress database prefix)
14. do the same for other 4 tables.
15. go to your second WordPress administration panel and install the Contact Form Builder.

That’s it! Now you should have your forms, submissions and themes all set up. Let me know in case you have further questions.
Thanks! Have a wonderful day!
