The Complete Multi-page Form UX Package

Super excited to announce that Multi-page Navigation now integrates seamlessly with Page Transitions!

Multi-page Navigation makes navigating large multi-page forms so much easier. Each page name becomes a clickable link allowing instant traversal of even the largest forms. Helpful additions like “Back to Last Page” and “Next Page with Errors” buttons streamline the completion of those hefty forms.

Page Transitions slides in with delicious page transitions, delighting your users and giving them a little dopamine hit – just the motivation they need to keep moving forward! Enable auto-progression to create truly frictionless form navigation.

This week, Multi-page Navigation was updated to ensure that Page Transitions’ liquid animations are preserved when using page links to navigate to any form page. And it works with custom page links too!

Note from the Support Team

We’ve been getting a lot of reports about a conflict with the WooCommerce Gravity Forms Product Add-ons plugin and Nested Forms. Long story short, it’s disabling AJAX on all forms globally which makes Nested Forms cry. 😭

We’ve added some bullet-proofing to Nested Form to account for this issue so please update to the latest version (v1.1.22+) asap.

For those of you who have begged us to make our own integration with WooCommerce, let’s talk. 😉

If you’re not familiar with Nested Forms, it’s just the most robust solution for collecting repeatable data with Gravity Forms, like ever.

New Walkthrough | Petitions Powered by Gravity Forms

We worked with a Gravity Perks power wizard known as Guilamu to create a crash course on setting up your own petitions with Gravity Forms. Learn how to:

• Display a progress meter for the number of signatures.
• Configure multiple goals to keep your audience engaged.
• Display the number of signatures anywhere on your site.
• Send follow-up emails to signers.

Hot Snippet | Single Submission Nested Form Fields

We had a great question in yesterday’s wizarding workshop: 

If you are doing events with guest sign ups that require signing a waiver (assuming the waiver is on a separate form), is there an easy way to associate that waiver submission with the event registration for admins to keep track?

This sounded like a perfect fit for Nested Forms and I was immediately reminded of our Single Submission snippet. See it in action!

Back Pocket Snippet | Show All Results to Admin with Populate Anything

You’re using Populate Anything to populate posts submitted by the current user. You want to populate all posts for admins though. This snippet does the trick!

Under the hood: This snippet will look for any filter that is based on the “Current User ID” and remove it. This means all your other filters will be preserved. For example, if you have a filter to only show posts from your “Books” custom post type and where the “Author” is the “Current User ID”, this snippet would still only show “Books” and not posts from all post types.
