This plugin is part of Gravity Perks, a suite of 31+ essential Gravity Forms addons with support you can count on.
What does it do?
Gravity Forms must create an entry in order to function properly. Rather than truly disabling entry creation, the Disable Entry Creation perk will automatically delete the entry and any associated files after the submission process has been completed.
Additionally, if the form has a User Registration feed, the entry will be deleted once the user has been activated, created or updated (depending on how your User Registration feed is configured).
How do I enable this functionality?
To disable entry creation for any form, just activate this perk and head to the form settings for whichever form you’re working with. Scroll down to the “Form Options” section near the bottom and check the “Disable entry creation” checkbox.
GP Disable Entry Creation Form SettingsCan I still access uploaded files after the entry is deleted?
Yes! By default, the entire entry an any associated files will be deleted. However, if you would like to delete the entry but keep the uploaded files, you can add this filter to your themes functions.php.
add_filter( 'gform_field_types_delete_files', function() { return array(); } );
