Gravity Wiz Weekly #106

Happy Valetine’s, wizards! 💕

I hope it was a good one! For once, I had all of my Valetine’s arrangements secured before the day. And they say you can’t teach an old wizard new tricks. 😉

Don’t have much to share today besides another ridiculous wagonload of free resources and fresh updates. But you wouldn’t be interested in those, would you? Oh, you are? Then read on!

How to Update Posts with Gravity Forms
Looking for a simple way to update a post with a Gravity Forms submission? We’ve just added support for updating custom fields too!

Disable Word Count Limits for Logged-in Users
GP Word Count makes it easy to count, display, and limit the number of words that can be entered into a field. Use this snippet to disable those limits for logged-in users. Think membership benefits!

Display Terms Hierarchically
Populate Anything is the easiest way to populate terms (and anything else) into your Gravity Forms. Use this snippet to display your terms hierarchically allowing using to more easily understand their relationships.

Snippet Library Migrations
We’ve migrated a few existing snippets into our growing Snippet Library.

• Create entries manually from the Gravity Forms Entries list.
• Sync Nested Forms parent/child data on submission.
• Generate multiple unique IDs per submission.
• Display hidden field validation messages at the top of your form.
