Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms is a WordPress plugin for building contact, registration, payment and data-collection forms through a visual editor. Administrators can review entries in the dashboard and configure notifications, confirmations and exports around each form’s purpose.

The core plugin handles general form building. Separate add-ons extend it for particular services and workflows, allowing a site to enable only the integrations it actually uses.

Key features

• Visual editing: arrange fields, adjust layouts and preview forms without building the interface from scratch.
• Conditional workflows: control when fields, sections, pages and buttons appear according to a visitor’s choices.
• Entry tools: manage submissions, notifications, confirmations and exports from WordPress.
• Flexible form structures: use multiple pages, file attachments, calculated values and spam-prevention options where needed.
• Extensions: connect supported payment, registration, mailing and automation services through relevant add-ons.

Who it is for

Gravity Forms suits agencies, site builders and organizations that need more than one basic contact form. Typical uses include lead routing, event registrations, orders, donations, surveys and application forms. A small site with a single straightforward contact page may not need its broader configuration options.

Teams collecting payments or personal information should plan access, retention and notification delivery before publishing. External services can also require their own accounts, credentials and settings; having an add-on archive does not complete that setup.

Things to know

The source listing contains two downloads. Gravity Forms WP Plugin is the main product, while Gravity Forms Addons is an optional collection of extensions. The add-ons are not required for core form building. Install only the specific extensions your project needs and check their versions separately.

Exact WordPress and PHP compatibility has not been verified for this package. No license key, developer support or automatic updates are included. A malware scan alone cannot prove that a third-party archive is safe. Test on staging and review every enabled integration before accepting live submissions.

What changed in Gravity Forms 3.2.1

The official changelog dates version 3.2.1 to October 28, 2026. It adds security enhancements and fixes inconsistent enforcement of form access settings and form management permissions. A new Export button on the entry list opens the Export Entries page with the current form and entry status already selected.

Other changes include repeater support when saving partial entries through the Partial Entries Add-On, a filter for disabling the multi-page query parameter, and comma encoding for URL-encoded merge tags. Fixes cover scripts in AJAX confirmations and keyboard and screen-reader access to the international phone field’s country selector on later pages. The release also deprecates the gform_progress_steps filter and the plugin’s IS_ADMIN constant.

Installation and rollback

Back up the site files and database first. On a staging site, upload the main plugin ZIP through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, activate it and submit test entries. Check notifications, confirmations, conditional paths, uploads and any payment or integration workflows before deploying to production. Add optional extensions one at a time.

For rollback, deactivate a problematic add-on first when that isolates the issue. If the core plugin must be reverted, restore a known-good package together with the appropriate backup rather than relying on an older ZIP alone. Code rollback does not reverse database changes, so test the complete restoration process on staging.

Gravity Forms suits sites where submissions feed a business process rather than simply trigger an email. Its editor covers layout and rules, while separate add-ons handle selected integrations. That flexibility creates setup work: permissions, notifications, data handling and external accounts all need review. Version 3.2.1 includes access-control fixes, so a staged upgrade deserves consideration. The supplied package has not been compatibility-tested here.
