Announcing GravityView 3.0: a fresh new look, AI View creation, and native page builder support

GravityView 3.0 is here, and it’s our biggest GravityView release in years. We spent the last six months rebuilding how you style, build, and place your Views, and today it’s all available. GravityView turns your Gravity Forms entries into searchable, sortable front-end displays called Views, and 3.0 makes those Views better looking out of the box, faster to create, and far easier to drop into the page builder you already use.

Here’s what’s new.

Themes: Giving GravityView a fresh new look

GravityView 3.0 ships with Vantage, our first built-in theme. Turn it on from the new Styles tab in the View editor, and your View gets a clean, modern design that adapts to your site’s fonts and colors automatically.

It works with every layout, including Table, List, Layout Builder, and DataTables, and it restyles the entire View (including the parts that often needed manual work, like the search bar and the buttons on the Edit Entry screen).

Vantage also unlocks a card grid:

• Display entries in multiple columns instead of a single list
• Set the number of columns and turn on equal-height cards for tidy rows
• Stay responsive automatically, stacking to a single column on smaller screens

New Views use Vantage by default. Existing Views keep their current styling until you switch it on, so nothing changes underfoot. And for developers, Vantage exposes CSS tokens so you can override the look cleanly.

Vantage is built on a theme framework, so it’s the foundation for more themes and saved presets down the road. As our founder Zack put it on the livestream, “this is the first step to a long evolution of making it easier for you to style your Views.”

Build and manage Views with AI

Our free GravityKit MCP already lets an AI assistant like Claude manage your forms and entries. GravityView 3.0 adds a full set of View-building tools to it, so you can create and manage Views using natural language.

Ask for what you want, and the assistant builds it. For example: “Build a table View from my job application form showing name, position, years of experience, and email, then add a search bar and turn on the Vantage theme.” It drafts the View for you to review, and you can keep refining it (“switch this to a three-column grid”) in the same conversation.

A few things worth knowing:

• It works with any MCP-capable client, including the Claude desktop app (you don’t need a paid Claude plan)
• It’s opt-in. The connection is something you set up, not something that’s on by default
• It’s built on the WordPress Abilities API introduced in WordPress 6.9
• It also speaks Gravity Forms, so you can create a form and build a View for it in one go

Embed Views in Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder

If you build with a page builder, you know the old routine: copy a shortcode, paste it into a text widget, and hope it renders. Well, “The crying days are over,” as Zack said on our recent livestream.

GravityView 3.0 adds native modules for Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder. Drag the GravityView widget into your layout, pick a View from the dropdown, and see it render live in the editor, no shortcodes required. Each builder gets the same five GravityView modules that match our Gutenberg blocks, so you can embed a full View, a single entry, a single field, an entry link, or View details.

The settings match the block and the [gravityview] shortcode exactly, including page size, sorting, search, and date filtering, so anything you can configure elsewhere, you can configure here. See Embedding Views in Divi, Beaver Builder, and Elementor for the full walkthrough.

Run bulk actions on the front end

Some workflows belong on the front end, not in wp-admin. GravityView 3.0 brings Gravity Forms-style bulk actions to your Views with a new Bulk Actions widget. Add it, and a checkbox column appears so your users can select entries and act on them in bulk.

Supported actions include:

• Approve or disapprove entries – Moderate submissions without opening the dashboard.
• Edit, delete, or export entries – Handle routine cleanup and reporting in place.
• Download attachments – Bundle every file across the selected entries into a single zip.
• Resend notifications – Trigger emails again for a batch of entries.

Because large jobs run on GravityKit’s background processing, you can act on hundreds or thousands of entries without waiting around. This is something we’ve wanted on the front end since GravityView first launched in 2014!

Full details are in Frontend bulk actions in GravityView.

More quality-of-life upgrades

GravityView 3.0 is full of smaller improvements that add up, including:

• Date range searches with presets – Filter by ranges like the last 7 days, the last 30 days, or a custom range.
• A more flexible pagination widget – Control how pagination links are displayed.
• Field preservation when changing layouts – Change View layouts without losing your field configuration.

These are just a slice of what shipped. See Quality-of-life upgrades in GravityView 3.0 for the rest.

This is just the beginning

A lot of GravityView 3.0 is foundation work that sets up what’s next. The theme framework behind Vantage will support more themes and saved presets. The new page builder framework makes it easier to add more builders over time. And the GravityKit MCP is moving toward a two-click setup baked right into GravityKit, so connecting an AI assistant won’t require editing any config files.

There’s more coming this year, too, including a new way to bring entries from multiple forms together in a single View. We’ll have more to share soon.
