Gravity Wiz Weekly #185
Insatiable curiosity! Entry Blocks + oEmbeds, Workshop VI’s recording, Populate Anything for referral programs, and styling Gravity Forms page steps.
Greetings, wizards!
For those of us with school-aged children, youāre likely enjoying some time off this month for Spring Break. My girls had theirs this week. š
For everyone else, GET BACK TO WORK!
I tease, I tease! In fact, stop working right now and read this newsletter because thereās a good chance youāll find something useful that actually reduces your workload.

Entry Blocks + oEmbeds
Entry Blocks makes displaying your entry data on the frontend sooo simple. Just add a āGravity Forms Entriesā block to your page, select the style (table vs loop), filter which entries should be included, and configure which entry data should be displayed. 2ez.
This week, we added support for handling oEmbeds in the āView Entryā view. Hereās an example of what that looks like with YouTube URLs.
Gravity Forms Gets Real (Estate)
I have no idea whatās going on with the real estate market but I do have some awesome ideas on how you can put Gravity Forms + Gravity Perks to work for your real estate business. Check out our deep-dive article where weāll teach you how to createā¦
- A mortgage calculator with Advanced Calculations.
- A showing scheduler with Inventory and Notification Scheduler.
- A home appraisal form with Advanced Save & Continue, enhanced with Page Transitions.
The best part? The knowledge here is useful regardless of your industry.
Wizarding Workshop VI: Recap
We hosted our sixth wizarding workshop last week and, per usual, it was a blast! This was my personal favorite so far as I got to show off so many tips and tricks across a variety of perks.
If you missed it, donāt fret ā weāve got the full recording ready for you here!
PS ā Donāt forget that you can follow along with our workshop doc here.

Snippet Update | Double Confirmation Fields
Some fields in Gravity Forms, like Password and Email fields, have double confirmation built-in. Ya know, where you have to enter the same value twice to confirm that you entered the correct value.
But there are a lot of other scenarios where you might want the assurance of double confirmation too. Thatās why, thousands of years ago (feels like it anyways), we wrote a snippet that does just that ā double confirmation by linking any two (or more) fields.
This week, we added support for ignoring fields hidden via conditional logic so you can conditionally include them as part of your double confirmation configuration.
Gettinā Fancy | Styling Gravity Forms Page Steps
When a Pro customer asks if something is possible and we arenāt sure if it is, it triggers an insatiable curiosity that simply must be scratched. Thatās what happened here. And it turns out, it is possible to style Gravity Forms page steps so they span the full width of the form and have fancy lines between them. š
New Snippet | Page Numbers to Letters
āāSpeaking of insatiable curiositiesā¦ did you know itās surprisingly simple to tweak your Gravity Forms page numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3) into letters (e.g. A, B, C)?
Another Pro customer inspired us to figure this one out and the resulting snippet is now available for free in our Snippet Library. š
Alright wizards, until next week. š§
