Featured Entries for your Views

Our Featured Entries extension makes it simple to feature an entry. By adding a star to an entry in Gravity Forms, it will be highlighted in GravityView. You can also choose to have featured entries moved to the top of all results. The Featured Entries extension is simple to use, and makes a big impact. Check out an example on our demo page. The Featured Entries extension is available for free for all Interstellar and Galactic license holders. Have a license? Download the extension today from your Account page.
