Ready for Gutenberg? Gravity Forms

With the release of 5.0 coming in November, significant WordPress changes are on the horizon.
It’s fair to say the announcement of Gutenberg has met mixed reactions. Regardless of how you use WordPress, Gutenberg will be affecting your site in some way.

Plugin developers, blog authors, theme builders, and those managing a site on their own will face these inevitable changes. So, in other words, basically everyone. Whether you love it or hate it, Gutenberg is coming so prepare your site. Fortunately, many of the top plugins we all know and love are ahead of the game.

At the forefront of Gutenberg is Gravity Forms. Co-founder Carl Hancock has been vocal in his support of the update and the different way’s they will embrace it. He stated to wpcouple.com, “as the developer of a major WordPress plugin, Gravity Forms, we intend on fully embracing Gutenberg. We will be introducing all kinds of new features and functionality as a result.”

Launching their initial beta in February of 2018, Gravity forms are now looking towards their 5th version.

The first add-on presented by Gravity Forms for Gutenberg was simple but showed potential when it comes to forms. Instead of the old “Add Form” bottom, I’m sure you’re familiar with, forms are added by block. This allows users to more simply place forms where they would like on a page.

Throughout the beta testing process, GF has instituted reusable blocks, conditional logic, legacy shortcodes support, a Mail Chimp add-on and more. While some developers shy away from Gutenberg, Gravity Forms embraces it. By the time WordPress updates in November, expect an entirely dedicated Gravity Form plug-in including even more adopted technology. Carl Hancock has noted that after the release, Gutenberg blocks will become merged with the core of Gravity Forms.

The Gravity Forms blocks we develop for Gutenberg will reside in their own Gravity Forms Add-On for development purposes until WordPress v5.0 is ready for public release. We will then merge all of our Gutenberg blocks into Gravity Forms core. https://t.co/G82Lnv6Wld

Lucky for us, top-tier plugins are preparing for the Gutenberg release. Gravity Forms intends to make the transition to blocks a painless one.

What our clients say…

Jay Baer

If you need to take your web/digital program to the next level, these are the guys to see. Fast, honest, innovative and totally on top of it. Highly recommended! • Jay Baer – NY Times Best-selling Author, Founder/President – Convince and Convert

What our clients say…

While I’ve known Greg for years from our time together in the marketing scene, I’ve only recently had the chance to work with Trinity Web Media on a client project. Not only was the team professional and their work spot on, they were amazingly quick to respond and required very little hand-holding along the way. I chalk that up to their past experience and a deep understanding of best-in-class services.

What our clients say…

I have hired Greg and the Trinity team multiple times for work on my own websites, and have also hired them to work on behalf of multiple clients. He is simply a pleasure to work with, in every respect. Smart but without the giant ego of some developers, Trinity Web Media works with his clients to achieve their vision in the best way possible — with careful attention to their interests, and thoughtful recommendations based on his expertise. • Susan Baier – Founding Marketing Strategist – Audience Audit
