Read moreGravity Forms v1.0.1 Update Released
By Carl HancockWe have released Gravity Forms v1.0.1. If you have a license key activated, It should be available via automatic upgrade on your Plugins page in the WordPress dashboard. If you do not see that an upgrade is available, try refreshing the Plugins page in WordPress. WordPress caches this data and only checks for plugin updates periodically. Refreshing the page should force it to check for available upgrades. This releases patches a bug that may allow a user to unintentionally uninstall the plugin by submitting the Settings form using the enter key rather than clicking on the Submit button. It could only be reproduced in certain browsers. We will be releasing Gravity Forms v1.1 next week, this release will add new features and functionality to the plugin.

By Carl HancockUPDATE 9 April 2019 – Updated link to the demo site. We are pleased to release a demo of Gravity Forms that you can access online. We have received requests from users to try the demo before purchasing so we have put together a site where you can try out the administration end of Gravity Forms to get a better feel for how the plugin works. Please keep in mind that for security reasons we have locked down the demo so that users cannot cause issues with the WordPress setup. The only area available to use when you login will be the Gravity Forms administration tools. We have disabled other features within the plugin such as the ability to save a form, however you can get a feel for how the form editor works by editing the form and changing options. You just can’t save your changes. You can view the test forms we have created and preview those forms and submit entries. You will be able to submit entries and then view those entries in the entry manager. Ready to try it out? You can check it out here: Gravity Forms Demo Site Enjoy!
Read moreGravity Forms Feature Highlight: Admin Labels
By Carl HancockOne of the great features of Gravity Forms that most people don’t know about is the Admin Label. This feature is available for every field and can be found as an option under the Advanced tab when editing a field in the form editor. It is the first option under the Advanced tab and allows you to rename the field for admin only use. What this allows you to do is call the field one thing on the frontend using the field label (ex. “Would you like to sign up for our newsletter and receive special offers?”) and refer to it as something else (ex. “Newsletter Signup”) when viewed in the administration tool.
