Entry Blocks Beta 1 is here!

Display and edit Gravity Forms data on the front end. Now, with a fresh take on The Entries Loop — giving you sorcerous power while displaying entry data.

gpeb beta 1 cover release

GP Entry Blocks is our longest running alpha. We’ve been working with you building out use cases for this powerhouse perk for over two years. For its official Beta 1 release, we have something special planned!

Remember Entry Blocks?

Easily display and edit Gravity Forms entries on the frontend, with support for hundreds of WordPress blocks out of the box — fully customizable layouts powered by WordPress’ very own Block Editor.

Entry Blocks offers a roster of all-star default layouts, like the Entries Table (display and edit entries in a table format), the Entries Loop, the Single Entry and the Edit Entry.

Each of these come with a variety of filtering options, providing total control over how data is displayed and interacted with. Only want to display entries that belong to the current user viewing? Easy! 🪄

Entry Blocks has accommodated use cases like building a large scale conference’s attendee management system, epic internal employee payroll tools, and a patented works showcase powered by Gravity Forms submissions, where team members can interact with each patent from the front end. 

All of this was happening while Entry Blocks was in alpha.

Introducing Entry Blocks Beta 1

We’ve overhauled the Entries Loop. It’s fully dynamic and now supports grid view.

The Entries Loop is simple on the surface: it outputs {all_fields} with links to edit and view.

Its magic is in how easy it makes it to customize how Gravity Forms data is displayed.

  • Display form data through hundreds of WordPress blocks; as you customize, changes will be reflected in all displayed entries, instantly. 
  • See Gravity Forms data as you’re working. No guesswork here. See how your actual entries will be displayed right in the editor. 
  • No need for custom code, or custom styles!

This opens the door to mind blowing real world use cases and full-blown web applications. Whip up contact directories, employee portals, registration administration tools, or anything else using Gravity Forms data, with the confidence and utility of the WordPress Block Editor!

ICYMI: Entries Index Block 🟩

The Entries Loop sits within the Entries Index block — a layout we quietly snuck out recently. This view gives you the power to format your birds-eye multi-entry view, which displays all form submissions at a glance, without it affecting other views. Learn more on that here:

Hundreds of ways to display Gravity Forms data!

If there’s one thing we want you to take from this: you can easily use Gravity Forms data in the WordPress Block Editor any way you want — filter and edit that data, display and interact with it from the front end, and build practical tools, quickly.

There’s still plenty of room for polish with Beta 1 (there always is) but we’re confident you’re going to love it! Now that we’ve finally broken the beta seal, we’re extra eager to prioritize your use cases and fast track improvements going forward.

Ready to leverage the mighty power of the Block Editor with your Gravity Forms data?

    Love that I found this!

    I understand it’s new but the two things holding me back from being able to use it fully are:

    1) For number filters, being able to use a range instead of a single number. Useful for many reasons (price, age, height, size, etc)

    2) Ajax filtering…this would just put it

    Everything else I think I can work around for now, but especially that first one…just makes it unusable in some cases for this project.

    Thanks again!

    Hey Cole. Awesome awesome awesome. We also used Entry Blocks for a women lawyers directory at https://womenlawyersdirectory.nz/. Thanks to Entry Blocks, it’s easy for individual lawyers to edit their own entries from the front end. Not sure where we’d be without the stable of GravityWiz Perks.
