Advanced Custom Fields: Gravity Forms Add-on

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 97% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Reviewers keep saying it does exactly what it promises and drops straight into ACF, with a couple of older complaints about conflicts with other Gravity Forms add-ons breaking third party fields.

   I’ve used this plugin ~5 times over the years and it consistently works as expected, glad it exists!

   Having this plugin active results in the Gravity Forms Signature add-on to break. You cannot use both.

   For days I’ve been having issues with addons for Gravity Forms where they suddenly stopped showing the fields. Only title and description. The native GF fields worked fine, but any third party ones stopped working. Fields I confirmed were not compatible: Gravity Perks Nested Forms and Slim Image Cropper for Gravity Forms. I’ve been going through code looking for a solution and googling results. I identified that the fields were not using the right class. They were all using “GF_Field”, the basic class. They should have been using “GF_Field_Nested_Form” for example. The cause was that Gravity Forms was being called too early by this plugin. And that was caching forms before all the plugins have loaded and registered their fields. There’s a pull request which fixes the problem but it has not been released. That was submitted in 2018. It’s the end of 2019 and has not been pushed as a release. I uninstalled this plugin and replaced the Forms ACF field with a number input where you manually enter the form id. Everything is suddenly working. Don’t combine this plugin with third party GF extensions. This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by James Huff.

   The field creates a dropdown for selecting a gravity form from the existing ones. Looks good and is finely integrated with ACF. Lacks a bit of hooks but the author is quite receptive to change requests on Github.

   Excellent plugin. I used to use the version from github but glad to have one that works in the WordPress plugin repository. Thanks for doing this and keep up the good work.
