Have You Tested Gravity Forms 2.7 Release Candidate?

Alongside the release of Gravity Forms 2.6.8, this week also saw Gravity Forms 2.7 Release Candidate go live!

We are now asking all members of our community to test 2.7 RC and get in contact with any comments, questions, or feedback. This will help us to continue to identify and make the necessary changes and improvements needed before the final release of 2.7.

Gravity Forms 2.7 sees a focus on streamlining processes for both new and existing customers – from the installation of the plugin, to the creation and styling of forms. Users will benefit from a redesigned Setup Wizard, a built-in template library, and significantly improved form styling options via a new form theme and block styling settings.

Top features include…

• Form Template Library – Our premade, fully-customizable form templates will help you get started in minutes, or can be used as a jumping off point for more complex form builds.
• Form Theme and Block Styling Option – A new front-end form theme, named Orbital, and block styling settings will enable you to easily customize the appearance of your forms, no CSS needed.
• Setup Wizard – A redesigned Setup Wizard will give new customers a user-friendly experience from the get-go.
• Honeypot Field Enhancements – JavaScript will now be used to inject another honeypot field into the form right before it is submitted, helping to identify and reduce the number of spam entries.
• Developer Features – A  significant shift in how we build our products sees us now using React and our new component library to create our back-end UI. This will significantly benefit our developer community, and the experience of building on Gravity Forms.

Gravity Forms 2.7 RC is available for you to install in a sandbox environment – we can’t wait for you to try it out. Just pop over to your Gravity Forms account to get started with 2.7 RC today!
