Migrating between WPForms and Gravity Forms
This page lists what GravityMigrate does with each kind of WPForms field and setting, in both directions, as read from the migration code itself. The tables are generated from the plugin, so they change when it does. For the steps, and for the wording of the report the wizard shows before it runs, see Migrating forms from another form plugin.
Checked against WPForms 1.10.0.2.

Form settings WPForms cannot hold
These Gravity Forms settings have no counterpart in WPForms. The migration names each one as left behind: Entry limit, Require user to be logged in, Description placement, Notification BCC, Submit button conditional logic.
Merge tags #
Merge tags in notifications and confirmations are translated where both plugins have one:
| Gravity Forms | WPForms |
|---|---|
{all_fields} | {all_fields} |
{admin_email} | {admin_email} |
{form_title} | {form_name} |
{form_id} | {form_id} |
{ip} | {user_ip} |
{referer} | {url_referer} |
{embed_url} | {page_url} |
{post_id} | {page_id} |
{embed_post:post_title} | {page_title} |
{logout_url} | {url_logout} |
{date_mdy} | {date} |
{user:ID} | {user_id} |
{user:user_email} | {user_email} |
{user:display_name} | {user_display} |
A merge tag with no counterpart is left as written and named in the report.
