Update to Gravity Forms 2.5.9

Check out this advice for updating to Gravity Forms 2.5.9…

• How to Update Gravity Forms – If you are already using Gravity Forms version 2.5 (or above) and have background updates enables, 2.5.9 will update automatically. However, if you are yet to install Gravity Forms 2.5, you will need to do so manually. You can do this by either updating Gravity Forms from your site’s plugin page within WordPress Admin or downloading 2.5.9 from your Gravity Forms account dashboard.

• Clear Your Cache – Caching and script optimization plugins and services have been known to cause problems with the functionality of forms when Gravity Forms is updated to the latest version. To counter this issue, we recommend clearing/flushing the caches and the browser cache following all updates.

• Further Resources – For more information on 2.5, and to get the most out of this major update to our form builder, check out the Gravity Forms 2.5 Resource Hub.
