CSS Ready Classes for Gravity Forms WordPress Plugin

 

[ See the officially released version of this plugin on WordPress.org ]

 

Gravity Forms comes with a few built-in CSS classes, called CSS Ready Classes, for you to choose from when building your forms. However, unless you have memorized them you will have to look them up.

We’ve updated Brad’s (6+ year old) Gravity Forms CSS Ready Class Selector WordPress plugin which works as a handy CSS Ready Class reference tool. When editing your forms, selecting the old ellipsis image from the Custom CSS Class label within the Appearance tab, this plugin would generate a convenient popup containing all the latest available CSS Ready Classes. But as we mentioned, its over 6 years old and needed to be updated. It was missing a few CSS Ready Classes and had an invalid link to the Gravity Forms CSS Ready documentation. Plus, wouldn’t it be handy to know which fields the intended class would work with? Then we discovered Mike’s forked version and enhancements which further streamlined the code and removed the unnecessary accordions. We didn’t know that we didn’t want the accordions until they were gone.

Our revision of this convenient plugin further refined and streamlined the popup display.

Updated CSS Ready Classes for Gravity Forms

This new plugin, as before, from within your forms’ fields, select the Appearance tab and click the new “CSS” link next to the Custom CSS Class field. This will open the handy reference popup. We replaced the old ellipsis image button with a simple link.

Browse through the various CSS Ready Classes and select the ones you want to have added to your field. Double click on your last selection to automatically close the popup or just hit esc. When you hover your cursor over any class, a description (via link title) will appear of the classes function and intended use. View this project on GitHub.

WP Imsizer (short for Image Resizer) is a plugin for WordPress which will save you and your clients or fellow blog contributors from having to manually resize all of your images to a more visitor friendly size. You can even restrict the total file size of uploaded images and even disable the WordPress image 2560px threshold limit which was introduced in version 5.3.

When someone uploads an image that is larger than your set dimensions, WP Imsizer will automatically scale it down to your desired pre-configured size and replace the original image.

The WP Imsizer Plugin is ideal for WordPress web sites and blogs that do not require super high resolution images. This will save space on your server, speed up your page speed performance, and reduce bandwidth utilization for both you and your visitors. As a result of being able to quickly display your media on your web site, this will most likely improve your search engine ranking.

Create Read-only Field in Gravity Forms

, , ,

Need to prevent a visitor or user from changing a specific form field on one of your Gravity Forms? Using the provided code snippet within this article, you can convert any input field into a “read-only” field. This type of field is different from a hidden field as it will display the contained data but prevent the visitor from altering it.

Sometimes making a field read-only can be useful, allowing you to then utilize that field for dynamic display of various messages. If you want to change a field to be read-only, you currently need to use JavaScript to do so. The following code snippets will help you accomplish this.

WordPress Nulled Themes and Plugins

How to Install a Nulled WordPress Theme or Plugin

, , , , ,

The process of installing a “nulled” theme or plugin (one that has had its licensing requirements or copyright removed) on your WordPress web site is simple, you begin by never doing it! Yes, the title was click-bait but keep reading.

I understand the lure of using a pirated WordPress nulled theme or pirated WordPress nulled plugin completely. Many times one isn’t sure if particular theme will suit a project or if a plugin will function as needed. No one wants to waste money purchasing a theme or plugin that they end up not using. Especially since there are literally thousands of them out there. Which is why some look for nulled versions of themes and plugins, but is it really worth it?

Gravity Forms Importer CSV File Failed to Upload

, , , , ,

Using the Gravity Forms Import Entries 2.0 plugin, (which was developed by the team at GravityView) you can easily bulk import hundreds or thousands of Gravity Form entries in minutes with any properly formatted comma separated value (CSV) file.

I’ve used this plugin a handful of times and it is well worth the licensing cost having paid for itself after the first use. However, I ran across an issue when attempting to upload a CSV file that contained html content and or https links. Each time I attempted to upload such a CSV I received a “CSV file failed to upload” error. In this article I write on how to get around this upload error.

Gravity Forms Renaming Uploaded Files Breaking Links

, , , , , ,

The premium WordPress plugin, Gravity Forms has a built in security feature which “self heals” the Gravity Forms uploads folder by renaming files containing certain file name extensions. This “self healing” function is routinely called from a Gravity Forms created cron-job and scans for files that may be malicious but it doesn’t actually analyze the file to verify if it is malicious or not. Rather, it simply renames the discovered file based off the file extension with no notice to you that it has been renamed or has altered any files in the uploads directory.

Below we’ve listed the file name extensions that are monitored for their existence and will be automatically renamed if discovered.

Gravity Forms Custom User Registration Activation Page

, , , , , , ,

If you want to allow visitor to registrations on your WordPress website or project, Gravity Forms has a handy Add-On called User Registration. This makes registering new users, creating login forms, and even setting custom user meta relatively simple.

Assuming you’ve configured such a solution for your website or project, you may want to enable the user activation option. This will help cut down on the number of junk registrations.

When a visitor registers, an activation email is dispatched with a link to their specific account activation. Upon clicking this link, they are directed to the default Gravity Forms activate page which completes the user activation process. This page isn’t particularly interesting and you may want to spice it up to provide your new registered user with more helpful information.

This article will show you the steps needed in order to implement a custom activation page when using Gravity Forms User Registration.

How to Disable or Hide Gravity Forms Tooltips in Backend

, , ,

When you first start off with Gravity Forms, their various tooltips come in handy to inform you what certain fields and features can and cannot do.

Tooltips are those little popup messages which appear when you hover your cursor over those little question mark icons (or any programmed element for that matter).

Within the Gravity Forms WordPress administrative backend these icons appear at the end of may form fields and labels. Again, these are handy for the uninitiated, but tend to appear in front of and block fields that you may be attempting to edit. Thus they quickly become an annoyance and time wasting feature. That is why we looked into disabling them. All of them.

Special thanks to Joshua Vandercar for his assistance.
