Disable Gravity Forms Fields

Reviewers say it does exactly what it promises and saves them writing custom JavaScript, with the newest review in 2025 just as happy as the older ones.

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 10 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Very handy to add fields the user can’t edit, in order to produce pdf contracts.

   Works exactly as it says. This was a great timesaver. Simply give the field a class of “readonly” (or “disabled”) and you’re done. Thank you for a great plugin!

   Im running this JS in my own custom file, but for those of you who want this to function in this plugin while using ajax you can change your disable-gf-fields.js file to the following code this can be done by editing the plugin file in through the WP plugin after installation by going to your admin screen and then plugins, then click edit next to this plugin and select the file . ..or you can just edit the js file before installation. anyway, gravity forms has a simple after render hook to allow for things to take place after any ajax or other renders of the form so you can just rerun the code any time the form is rendered by replacing this files code with this. jQuery(document).ready(function($){ $(".disabled input").attr('disabled','true'); $(".readonly input").attr('readonly','true'); }); $(document).bind('gform_post_render', function(){ $(".gform_wrapper .readonly input").attr("readonly", true); $(".gform_wrapper .disabled input").attr("disabled", true); }); then the plugin will work with ajax as well. THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH READONLY to retain field data if you are pre-populateting the field dynamically! Disabled fields do not pass information to the server and as such do not retain any pre populated data from a query string or shortcode ect. with the ajax call such as after a failed submission or page change and will fall back to their default state. ..you can however just set the default value of a disabled field if it is a constant value to be pre-populated, and it will work fine. but the data still will not be submitted with the form. you should use readonly to have the data passed.
