GWW 325: Magic Powder

Greetings, wizards!

Been thinking a lot this week about just how long Gravity Wiz has been sprinkling its magic powder around the Gravity Forms ecosystem.

That sounds a little weird but I’m leaving it for branding purposes. 😆

But seriously, I’m genuinely amazed at how organically this whole adventure has unfolded. And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the wizards who have helped us get here — past and present, customers and employees alike.

Thank you. 💜

Now who’s ready for some more of that magic powder? ✨

Top Picks: Product Updates

GP Entry Blocks
✦ The easiest, most flexible way to display and edit Gravity Forms entries on the frontend. Fully customizable layouts powered by WordPress’ very own Block Editor.

The Block Editor no longer re-renders every block on the page every time you edit one.

This has been a huge personal annoyance of mine. 😆 It only really reared its head when I was displaying loads of entries, but hot dang, it was annoying.

Now the editor moves at the same speed I do. 🏎️

GP Inventory
✦ Easy, flexible inventory management for Gravity Forms.

Scope drop downs on the Inventory tab now populate for fields that don’t have choices — Hidden, Single Line Text, Number, etc. — using values that have already been submitted.

In other words, you can pick from real values instead of having to remember (or guess) what you’ve scoped before.

GP Address Autocomplete
✦ Autocomplete addresses, calculate routes, and display interactive maps in Gravity Forms.

GPAA 2.0.1 shipped this week. Nothing super exciting to share here — just an excuse for me to remind you how awesome the new Travel Estimate field is. It can show the route on the Map field too!

How To: Stop Form Spam Without a CAPTCHA

CAPTCHAs keep bots out, but they also make your actual visitors squint at traffic lights wondering whether that tiny corner counts.

Spam Hexer, our free plugin, makes bots do the work while real people get on with submitting your forms.

Dan shows how it works — and how to put it to work on your site. 🤖

✦ Sorcerous Snippets

We add new snippets (and updates) to our Snippet Library every week — ready-made solutions that often beat prompting AI, or at least give you one heck of a head start on your next vibe-coded build.

Here are a few “new” snippets I haven’t gotten around to sharing yet!

—

GP Bookings | Filter Google Calendar Events Blocking Availability
Choose which Google Calendar events actually block your booking availability — ignore invitations you never accepted, events pulled in from shared calendars, or anything you’ve titled “Hold.”

GP Bookings | No Lead Time Restriction for Admins
Let admins book on the spot, skipping the lead time everyone else has to respect. #adminprivilege

GF User Registration | Map ACF Google Maps Field to Address Field
Populate an Address field from an ACF Google Maps field when updating a user — street, city, state, ZIP, and country all land in the right inputs.
