January 21, 2020: Updated snippet to be simpler and more aggressive.
In my experience, autocomplete is generally more helpful than harmful but there are times when it just gets in the way. For those times, use this handy snippet inspired by @ronalfy to disable this feature.
| <?php | |
| // Disable auto-complete on form. | |
| add_filter( 'gform_form_tag', function( $form_tag ) { | |
| return str_replace( '>', ' autocomplete="off">', $form_tag ); | |
| }, 11 ); | |
| // Diable auto-complete on each field. | |
| add_filter( 'gform_field_content', function( $input ) { | |
| return preg_replace( '/<(input|textarea)/', '<${1} autocomplete="off" ', $input ); | |
| }, 11 ); |
How do I get started?
- This will work with even older versions Gravity Forms but that’s no excuse not to be running the latest version.
- Already have a license? Download Latest Gravity Forms
- Need a license? Buy Gravity Forms
- Copy and paste the snippet into your theme’s functions.php file.
- Once you have installed the snippet, you’re good to go! This one’s plug and play.

This snippet will apply to all forms and all fields. If you’d like to only apply this to specific forms and/or specific fields, let us know in the comments.
Did this resource help you do something awesome with Gravity Forms? Then you'll absolutely love Gravity Perks; a suite of 31+ essential add-ons for Gravity Forms with support you can count on.
Here is an even easier way that is more customer friendly.
Add a class to the gravity form’s “Custom CSS Class” field… something like “no-autocomplete”.
Then add the following to your site’s JS file:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(“.no-autocomplete input”).attr(‘autocomplete’, ‘off’); });
Is there an easy way to disable the autofill for multiple forms? I saw how to apply it to an individual form, but didn’t see a reply for applying it to more than one.
Hello Trey, This is a great question. You may want to check out our documentation here on how to apply class-based snippets to the same form. 😃
