Find Out More About Gravity Forms 2.7

Gravity Forms 2.7 went live last month and as always with our major releases, 2.7 packs a punch! Once you’ve updated to 2.7.1, you’ll benefit from a new built-in template library, significantly improved form styling options via a new form theme and block styling settings, as well as a redesigned Setup Wizard.

• 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 Options – 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 is now available to all customers! Simply update the plugin from within your WordPress Admin, or download version 2.7.1 from your Gravity Forms account dashboard.

And of course, the latest version of Gravity Forms is available to all new customers. Simply head over to our pricing page to pick the right plan for your form building needs and make a purchase.
