🌟 PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
|
GravityView: Checkbox fields now have a flexible new “Display Format” option, allowing you to choose between bulleted lists or comma-separated values. Security has been tightened in Edit Entry, specifically around the Approval Status field, which now always reflects the correct entry status. File Upload fields also look cleaner, with icons neatly aligned next to filenames. And for those using Dashboard Views, we fixed an issue causing the DataTables layout not to render properly.

Need better image upload capabilities for your Gravity Forms? While Gravity Forms includes a basic file upload field, it lacks advanced features like cropping, resizing, and previews. If you’re looking to enhance your image upload workflow, third-party plugins are the way to go.
In this updated guide, we compare the best Gravity Forms image upload plugins: File Upload Pro and Image Hopper. You’ll learn about their features, pricing, installation process, and how they perform on the frontend.

Nonprofits depend on volunteers, but managing them efficiently can be a challenge. While many organizations turn to expensive software solutions, there’s a more affordable, flexible alternative: build your own volunteer management system on WordPress using Gravity Forms and GravityView!
