Gravity Forms v1.9.2 Released

By Carl Hancock Published February 25, 2015

Gravity Forms v1.9.2 is now available via automatic update and the customer downloads page. This is an important security and maintenance release.

We recommend all users update as soon as possible. It is important to always keep WordPress, plugins and themes up to date as a matter of best practice.

We highly recommend users enable background automatic updates within the Gravity Forms Settings so that maintenance updates can be applied automatically the same way WordPress core handles maintenance updates.
