Gravity Forms 2.6 Rollout

Gravity Forms 2.6 is being offered to all active license holders via a phased rollout. This means that you’ll receive the 2.6 update through your WordPress Admin at some point during the rollout period, which is expected to be a few weeks long.

However, if you don’t want to wait, Gravity Forms 2.6 is also available to all our customers via a direct download from your Gravity Forms account dashboard.

To summarize:

• Update Gravity Forms 2.6 in WordPress Admin – All customers can expect to receive an update during the rollout period (which commenced 14th March, 2022). Once you receive the update, simply navigate to the Plugins page within your WordPress Admin, scroll down to Gravity Forms and select Update Now.

• Download 2.6 from Your Gravity Forms Account Dashboard – If you have an active Gravity Forms license, you can now download 2.6 from your GF Dashboard.

• New Customers – Gravity Forms 2.6 is now available to buy. Check out our pricing page to find the plan that best suits your requirements.

Note: 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.

If you have any questions about Gravity Forms 2.6, or the staggered release procedure, please contact Support.
