Find Out More About Gravity Forms 2.7

Last month we asked the Gravity Forms team to share their favorite 2.7 features, improvements, and updates. Here are a few of the highlights…

Gravity Forms is going to be known for being beautiful as well as powerful!

Morgan Kay (Software Engineer, Product Team)

“I’m really excited about the form style settings. It is now really easy to make your forms look like an integrated part of your website, instead of something that is clearly stuck in by a plugin. The control users have over form designs is exciting, but from a developer standpoint, what users see is just the tip of the iceberg.

The style settings are built using a new theme framework, which will make it easier for developers to build their own form themes in a variety of different ways. As we expand the theme framework, and as plugin and theme developers begin to take advantage of it, Gravity Forms is going to be known for being beautiful as well as powerful.”

The theme framework and CSS API set us up for the future of WordPress

Ryan Urban (Software Engineer, Product Team)

“We are excited about the theme framework and CSS API and how these features set us up for the future of WordPress. These will provide developers and non-developers alike multiple avenues and mechanisms by which they will be able to make their forms look great on their websites.”

Enhancements to the anti-spam honeypot in 2.7

Chris Hajer (Support Engineer, Support Team)

“I really like the enhancements to the anti-spam honeypot in 2.7. The honeypot was enhanced with new techniques for 2.7 to make it even more capable of stopping spammers. And you have a new option now to save the entry and mark it as spam, in addition to retaining the original option to silently discard it.”
