Read moreGravity Forms v1.9.4 Released
By Carl HancockGravity Forms v1.9.4 is now available via automatic update and the customer downloads page. This is a maintenance and security release and we recommend users update as soon as possible. This release includes a fix for a blind SQL injection vulnerability similar to the issue recently fixed in other popular WordPress plugins such as WPSEO, WooCommerce, and PODS. The scope of this vulnerability was limited to functionality within the Gravity Forms admin by a user within sufficient privileges to view and edit forms within the WordPress Dashboard. By default this vulnerability could only be exploited by a WordPress user with admin privileges to your site and could not be exploited anonymously from the frontend.

Read moreGravity Forms v1.9 Now Available Via Automatic Update
By Carl HancockGravity Forms v1.9 is now available via automatic update for existing users.

Read moreGravity Forms v1.9 Released
By Carl HancockGravity Forms v1.9 is now available via the downloads page. This is a major feature release that introduces several highly anticipated features such as Save and Continue! We are taking a slightly different approach to the roll out of this major release. We have made Gravity Forms v1.9 available to new users and to existing users via the downloads page. However, we will not be deploying it via automatic update until we release v1.9.1. Why? Because a follow up to a major feature release such as this is inevitable and we’d prefer that existing users do not need to automatically update multiple times within a short time period if it can be avoided. We are taking deployment cues from managed WordPress hosting services who routinely deploy major WordPress updates only after a subsequent maintenance release. If you would like to update an existing site prior to automatic update being deployed, you can certainly do so by downloading v1.9 from the downloads page and manually updating your site. Enough with the boring details, let’s take a look at what is in the v1.9 release of Gravity Forms…

This will most likely be the final v1.8 maintenance release before we release the Gravity Forms v1.9 feature release to the public. We recommend all users update as soon as possible. It is important to always keep WordPress, plugins and themes up to date as a matter of best practice.
