Brand New Release: Gravity Forms 2.8.4
By Gravity Forms
Published February 21, 2024
We’re pleased to announce the release of Gravity Forms 2.8.4. This update to the plugin contains a number of fixes, including…
- Fixed an issue that causes fields like the signature field to not render correctly in hidden interfaces such as tabs or modals.
- Fixed an issue where the merge tag dropdown in the product field shows the incorrect options.
Gravity Forms 2.8 – Have You Used Compact View Yet?
The Gravity Forms Compact View feature was one of the main additions to the plugin with the release of version 2.8.
The new feature is great news for anyone working on large forms with lots of fields as well as those creating forms on smaller screens.
Thanks to the arrival of Compact View, users can now switch between the regular view and a more minimized and streamlined view of their form in the editor.
Switching views only takes a few clicks in the form editor — after that, you’ll have a clearer view of your form.
The simplified preview of your form makes it much easier to get an overview of your form.
It also makes it more convenient to navigate larger forms, especially if you’re working on a smaller screen. Users should also find it easier to locate the fields in their form, edit them, and move them into new positions.
You can find more information on using Compact View in the Gravity Forms documentation.
