GravityView – Display Gravity Forms Entries on Your Websites
/Year
Display and Manage Gravity Forms Data on Your Frontend
GravityView provides a powerful solution for displaying Gravity Forms entries directly on the frontend of your WordPress website. Instead of keeping user submissions locked away in the administrative dashboard, this plugin allows site owners to publish, filter, and edit data securely in public or private views. Whether you need to build a member directory, a job board, an inventory tracker, or a real-time data database, it bridges the gap between form submission and public display without requiring complex custom coding.
What GravityView Does
At its core, the plugin acts as a dynamic presentation layer for data collected via Gravity Forms. When a user submits a form, the information is automatically pulled into a pre-configured layout layout known as a View. You can design these layouts using an intuitive drag-and-drop configuration interface. The plugin gives you complete control over which fields are displayed, how they are styled, and who has permission to see or interact with them. It also supports frontend editing, allowing authorized users or entry creators to update their own data without access to the WordPress backend.
Who Is This Plugin For
This extension is built for WordPress developers, agency professionals, and site administrators who use Gravity Forms to collect structured information and need to display it cleanly to visitors or users. It is highly beneficial for organizations running membership portals, educational institutions tracking student profiles, businesses maintaining business directories, and non-profits managing volunteer rosters. If your workflow involves sorting, filtering, and presenting form data in a readable tabular or list format, this tool simplifies the deployment significantly.
Key Capabilities and Layout Styles
The plugin offers versatile built-in layouts to suit various data presentation requirements. The List Layout is ideal for directories, profile listings, and classified ads where each entry requires a dedicated content block. The Table Layout provides a spreadsheet-style overview, making it suitable for numerical databases, inventory lists, and administrative logs where rapid sorting is necessary. Advanced filtering options let you restrict entry display based on user roles, approval status, specific field values, or date ranges, ensuring your target audience sees exactly what is intended.
Practical WordPress Use Cases
Site administrators use this tool for a wide variety of practical applications on production websites. For instance, you can easily deploy a paid member directory where users fill out a form, pay via a payment gateway, and instantly appear on a searchable public index. Another common use case is creating employee databases or client portals where users log in to review and edit their previously submitted records. It also works well for creating community calendars, product catalogs, customer feedback boards, and support ticket dashboards where dynamic content tracking is necessary.
Setup and Compatibility Context
Deploying this extension requires an active installation of Gravity Forms on your WordPress site. The setup process involves creating a new View, selecting the source form, choosing your preferred layout layout, and mapping the form fields to specific positions in the template. The tool is designed to work seamlessly with modern WordPress block editors, classic environments, and major page builders. It respects standard WordPress user capabilities, ensuring that frontend editing permissions remain secure and uncompromised.

- Table layout: a new "Use this field as a row header" field setting renders that column's cells as
<th scope="row">instead of<td>, so screen readers announce the identifying cell (like a name or title) as context for the other cells in the row.
- Hardened the "Enhanced Security" embed secret. Existing embeds keep working; if one ever stops rendering, re-copy its embed code from the View editor. Developers can require the new secret on specific Views (see Developer Updates).
- The View editor now warns when the Edit Entries bulk action can't run on the frontend because the View's form uses conditional logic, instead of allowing the action to be configured and silently do nothing.
- Phone field compatibility with Gravity Forms 3.0+.
- An entry opened in a lightbox showed "The requested entry could not be found." when the View's filtering depended on a value from the page request (e.g., Advanced Filtering configured to read a URL parameter).
- An entry opened in a lightbox could show a raw error (
{"code":"rest_cookie_invalid_nonce",...}) instead of the entry when the visitor had logged out or their session expired. The lightbox now falls back to the normal access-controlled response. - The confirmation message did not display after duplicating or deleting an entry from the front end.
- On the List layout, placing heading markup in the Listing Title or Subtitle zones left an empty heading flagged by accessibility checkers. The layout's heading wrapper now becomes a
<div>when the field's content is itself a heading. - Entries appeared in the Multiple Entries layout but showed "You are not allowed to view this content." when opened or edited, even by administrators. This affected entries with statuses saved with different capitalization (e.g.,
Activeinstead ofactive). - A Search Bar Date Range field overflowed its column; the pickers now shrink to the available width and stack when the column is narrow.
- The Search Bar's Search button rendered at the horizontal center of the form instead of below the search fields.
- The Search Bar's Clear/Reset button was missing on pages without an active search; it is now always part of the form again.
- Removing the last widget from a widget-area row and updating the View removed the row itself from the editor with no way to add it back; the default full-width and half-width rows now always stay available as drop targets.
- Activating GravityView could prevent a site from loading when its theme or another plugin already included the same email-obfuscation library.
- A deprecation warning ("The gravityview_template_..._options hook is deprecated") was logged blaming an add-on such as Gravity Flow when the add-on registered a custom field or widget type.
- The GravityView integration was missing from the LifterLMS Settings → Integrations screen since the 3.0 update.
- The
[gv_entry_link]shortcode withlightbox="true"opened a full page instead of the lightbox when entries were loaded over AJAX. - A DataTables View using the Vantage theme rendered a narrow table pushed to one side with empty space when FixedHeader or FixedColumns was enabled.
- A "translation loading triggered too early" notice appeared on WordPress 6.7 and newer.
- Single entry pages could fail to load when custom entry slugs were enabled and an entry link was built for an entry that could not be resolved, such as by the WPML language switcher.
- A Time field's "Override Date Format" box showed the default format even when left empty and could not be cleared. The default is now shown as a placeholder hint.
- Duplicating an entry failed when the request had no user agent, such as from WP-CLI.
- Suppressing an internal deprecated-hook notice could remove an identical suppression filter registered by other code.
- When multiple Views were embedded on the same page, a search now applies only to the View it was performed on.
- Entry approval checks now accept the lowercase
approvedvalue in theis_approvedentry meta. - Edit Entry now uses
GFAPI::get_entry()andGF_Field::get_value_save_input()instead of deprecated Gravity Forms methods. - GravityView no longer listens to its own deprecated hooks, clearing deprecated-hook entries from debugging tools like Query Monitor.
- Added
gk/gravityview/template/options/pre-contextfilter to modify typed field options before they are filtered by context. - Added
gk/gravityview/deprecated-hook-notices/product-dirsfilter to register additional directories as GravityKit products for deprecated-hook classification. - Added
gk/gravityview/field-output/fix-heading-wrapperfilter to disable the automatic demotion and suppression of heading wrappers. - Added the
gk/gravityview/search/scope-to-viewfilter to control whether a front-end search is scoped to the View it was performed on. - Added the
gk/gravityview/view/secret/allow-legacyfilter to control whether a View accepts the embed secret it used before this release. - Foundation updated to version 1.25.0.
