By Carl HancockGravity Forms incorporates automatic updates like WordPress and other WordPress plugins; however, sometimes we need to make updates available to users before they are deployed globally. We already do so, but many users aren’t aware. We will frequently update the version of Gravity Forms that is available for download on the downloads page and we do the same for Add-Ons as needed. These updates have to be applied manually by downloading the plugin files and overriding the plugin files on your site with the new files.

By Carl HancockSomething we’ve always prided ourselves on is just how extendable Gravity Forms is. From the very beginning we provided hooks and filters to customize Gravity Forms and its behavior and that library of available hooks and filters has grown and grown over the years. With the introduction of both the Add-On Framework and the API we’ve positioned Gravity Forms as a great platform to build on top of. Just like Gravity Forms builds on top of WordPress, these tools can be leveraged to build incredible applications on top of Gravity Forms. Gravity Forms programmer Steve Henty has put together a fantastic introductory tutorial on Gravity Forms as a Platform that we highly recommend you check out right here!
