GravityView Changelog

This release adds a "Delete all Views" button and a "Use as Page Title" setting for Edit Entry, strengthens security for embedded Views and entry actions (we recommend updating), and keeps your Views when GravityView is deleted. It also fixes many issues with Views built with the GravityKit MCP, View revisions, Custom CSS, DataTables, Edit Entry, and Multiple Forms.

🚀 Added

• "Delete all Views" button under GravityKit > Settings > GravityView > Delete Views that permanently deletes every View, including trashed ones, without affecting forms, entries, or settings.
• "Use as Page Title" setting on the Edit Entry tab to choose whether the Edit Entry Title also replaces the page and browser tab titles (on by default, so existing Views keep their titles).
• Settings to choose what an embedded View shows when its search value is empty, such as when a {get:customer} merge tag has no value:
  • "When the search value is empty" on the View field, which now shows no entries by default ("is not" searches still show every entry);
  • search_value_empty="none" in the [gravityview] shortcode;
  • "Show no entries" in the View block and the Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder modules, selected by default for new block, Elementor, and Beaver Builder embeds (new Divi modules start at "Not set");
  • Existing shortcode, block, and page builder embeds keep showing every entry, and an admin notice lists the pages that use them.

🔒 Security

• Improved checks when deleting, approving, or rejecting entries from the front end.
• Improved how embedded Views apply their Search Field and Search Value, so they show only the entries they are set to show (sites using the GravityView Widget for Elementor plugin also need its next update).
• Views built or cloned with the GravityKit MCP could show entries their settings were meant to restrict, or allow REST access that was turned off.
• Page and browser tab titles on Views with an Edit Entry Title could show entry values to visitors not allowed to edit the entry.

🐛 Fixed

• Issues when deleting GravityView from the Plugins page:
  • All Views, entry approval statuses, and GravityView entry notes were permanently deleted, and embeds of Views with Enhanced Security stopped working after reinstalling;
  • A PHP fatal error was logged ("Class "ActionScheduler_Lock" not found").
• Search Operators other than "Is", "Is Not", and "Contains" in the View block, the View field, the Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder modules, and the [gravityview] shortcode matched any entry containing the Search Value, so "Not Equal" and "Not In" listed the entries they should have excluded.
• A search value of 0 in the [gravityview] shortcode or an embedded View was ignored, so the View listed every entry instead of those matching 0.
• Issues with Views built with the GravityKit MCP:
  • New Views used the Legacy theme instead of the Default theme setting (GravityKit > Settings > GravityView > Appearance), as did Views created with the REST API;
  • Edit Entry fields were hidden from users editing their own entries;
  • Unsaved View settings, such as "Show only approved entries", showed as empty instead of their default values;
  • Every value of the "No Entries Behavior" setting was refused;
  • View and field settings turned on or off with text values such as "yes", "no", or "off" were not applied correctly, and some showed the wrong state in the View editor;
  • Single Entry fields were refused on Views whose Single Entry layout differs from the Multiple Entries layout;
  • Cloned Views lost their Multiple Forms joins and unions, Layout Builder row settings, and backslashes in their title and settings.
• Cloning a View from the Views list removed backslashes from its title and settings, such as field labels.
• Issues with restoring View revisions:
  • Advanced Filtering conditions, Multiple Forms joins and unions, and Layout Builder row settings were not restored;
  • Restoring a revision saved before GravityView 3.0.0 removed the View's form, layouts, fields, and widgets;
  • On sites that limit revisions, restoring the oldest kept revision did not restore View settings, and the notice showed no date;
  • The revision saved by a restore held the View settings from before it, so the Revisions screen showed the wrong changes.
• Issues saving Views in the View editor:
  • Publishing a draft View left it as a draft when the View editor showed Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) fields;
  • Saving a draft was blocked until every required ACF field in the View editor was filled in;
  • Saving by pressing Enter, or by clicking a save button while WordPress was autosaving, asked to confirm leaving the page and saved only after confirming.
• Issues with Custom CSS and styles:
  • Custom CSS could not override the layout's styles, such as table cell padding;
  • On Views using the Vantage theme, Custom CSS could not override many of the theme's styles, and rules starting with the layout's class, such as .gv-table-view td, had no effect on the Single Entry page or in the entry lightbox;
  • On Views using the Vantage theme, Custom CSS containing a Google Fonts @import lost all of its rules, and a <style> tag pasted around Custom CSS broke its first rule;
  • On DataTables Views, Custom CSS could not override the styles of DataTables features such as Buttons;
  • Views shown inside another View, such as through a Custom Content widget or the [gventry] shortcode, lost their Custom CSS, Custom JavaScript, layout styles, and Style settings.
• Issues with DataTables Views:
  • Clearing the Search Bar widget and searching again kept the previous results instead of showing every entry (or hiding them when "Hide View data until search is performed" is on);
  • The browser Back button stayed on the last search instead of returning to earlier searches and pages;
  • Views set to "Embed only" showed "This table could not load" to visitors and users below the Editor role when placed with Beaver Builder, through the GravityView module or a [gravityview] shortcode in a module.
• Issues with Edit Entry:
  • GP Populate Anything Drop Down values that depend on a field placed later in the form were erased;
  • When the same form was embedded on the page, Edit Entry showed every form field, or the other copy of the form showed the entry being edited;
  • The Edit Entry Title setting also renamed menu items and other posts listed on the page, such as in a Latest Posts block;
  • A field added to the Edit Entry tab twice showed two inputs, and changes made in one were lost.
• Issues with Views that join or union forms using Multiple Forms:
  • The Entry Field block and [gvfield] set to First or Last showed nothing in joined Views;
  • The Entry block, [gventry], entry links pasted into a post, and the REST API showed the main entry's values in fields from the joined form;
  • Joined entry links such as /entry/12,34/ showed nothing in the Entry block, [gventry], or when pasted into a post;
  • The REST API returned empty values for every form field in the entry list of joined Views;
  • Edit Entry showed and saved the wrong fields: a field added from another form changed the entry's own field with the same ID, including Administrative fields, and unioned entries ignored the field mapping;
  • In unioned Views, CSV and TSV exports and the REST API ignored the field mapping for entries from the added form, leaving mapped columns empty or showing fields the View was not set to display;
  • In unioned Views, entries from the added form ignored field settings such as "Link phone number", "Encrypt email address", and "Show as initials".
• Issues with merge tag modifiers:
  • :urlencode encoded Dynamic Lookup field values twice, so a confirmation redirect such as ?company={Company:2:urlencode} passed AT%2526T instead of AT%26T;
  • Modifiers such as :urlencode printed { (or %26%23x7b%3B in a link) instead of { when a field value contained a curly brace.
• On block themes such as Twenty Twenty-Five, images and entry links set to open in a lightbox opened in the full browser tab when the first View on the page had "Enable lightbox for images" turned off, and a [gv_entry_link lightbox="true"] shortcode outside a View broke the page layout.
• CSV and TSV exports dropped trailing empty values, such as the empty last columns of a TSV export's last row or the empty last rows of a one-column export.
• Sites showing a View embed missing its "secret" on 404 or archive pages created a separate admin notice for every nonexistent address visited, and on category and author archives the notice named an unrelated post.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityview/search/empty-value/default filter to set what embeds without a search_value_empty value show when their search value is empty (return none to show no entries).
• Added gk/gravityview/edit-entry/page-title filter to change the page title on the Edit Entry screen (return an empty string to keep the page's own title).
• Added GVEntry::is_active() and GVEntry::is_trashed() methods, which compare the entry's status case-insensitively.
• gk/gravityview/edit-entry/page-title and gk/gravityview/edit-entry/document-title default to an empty string when the View's "Use as Page Title" setting is unchecked.
• Breaking change: gravityview()->plugin->uninstall() now removes only temporary data and keeps Views, entry approval statuses, GravityView entry notes, capabilities, and options; use GravityKitGravityViewViewViewRemover::remove_all() to delete Views.
• Breaking change: GVView::get_entry() now returns the joined row (a GVMulti_Entry) on Views that join forms and accepts joined entry slugs such as 12,34; on that row, $entry['id'] and $entry['form_id'] are null, so use $entry->ID or $entry->entries instead.
• Deletes granted by the gk/gravityview/delete-entry/can-delete filter are now checked against the View's forms and the entry's status, while the View's filters and approval setting apply only to deletes the filter leaves to GravityView.
• A View's id setting now stays an integer when a shortcode embeds the View, so strict (===) comparisons with the View ID, such as in a gravityview/datatables/output filter, match correctly.
• gk-gravityview/view-clone now copies every _gravityview_ meta key of the source View, except the edit version counter and the "new form" notice flag.
• View revisions now also track _gravityview_filters, _gravityview_form_joins, _gravityview_form_unions, and _gravityview_row_settings, and preserve settings saved as empty values.
• Each View's Custom CSS and Style settings now print from their own gravityview_view_css_{View ID} stylesheet handle, after GravityView's stylesheets, instead of on gravityview_default_style or gv-theme (the gk/gravityview/theme/custom-css filter is unchanged).
• Legacy Views with more than one grid column now get a gv-card-grid class on their template wrapper.
• gk-gravityview/view-config-get and gk-gravityview/view-settings-patch now return the default value of each core View setting that is not saved, instead of leaving it out.
• gk-gravityview/view-config-apply and gk-gravityview/view-settings-patch now refuse to turn on show_only_entries_by_current_user, with gv_rest_setting_requires_extension (400) when Advanced Filtering is not active and gv_rest_setting_conflicts_with_filters (400) when the View's Advanced Filter matches entries if any one group matches.
• The entry lightbox page now includes a doctype, so browsers no longer render it in quirks mode or log jQuery Migrate's "jQuery is not compatible with Quirks Mode" warning.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.37.0.

This release makes "Search Everything" and sorting use what fields display rather than what they store, fixes several security issues around entry visibility and exports (we recommend updating), and resolves many issues with embedded Views, search, multi-page Edit Entry, and combined forms.

✨ Improved

• Broader "Search Everything" matching that covers what fields display, not just what they store:
  • Names of users, posts, entries, and database table rows that Dynamic Lookup, GP Populate Anything, and GP Nested Forms fields store by ID;
  • Labels of choice fields, such as Drop Down and Checkboxes;
  • Fields inside Repeater fields.
• Sorting by fields that store the ID of a user, post, entry, or database table row, which now orders entries by the displayed name, including in Views that combine forms with the Multiple Forms extension.

🔒 Security

• Views embedded with a {user:...} merge tag in their search (such as search_value="{user:ID}") showed every entry to logged-out visitors instead of none.
• The Entry and Entry Field blocks, the [gventry] and [gvfield] shortcodes, entry embeds (oEmbed), and the REST API's single entry route could display entries that the View's filters exclude, such as entries hidden by Advanced Filtering conditions or by the "Show only entries created by the currently logged-in user" setting.
• Entries not listed on a page could be opened in its lightbox when the page also contained an escaped [[gravityview]] shortcode or a secured View embedded without its secret.
• The Single Entry page heading of a View embedded in a reusable block could show the title of an entry the visitor wasn't allowed to view.
• Search Bar fields restricted to logged-in users could still filter results for logged-out visitors.
• A GravityView Search widget left in the WordPress Inactive Widgets area still allowed visitors to search by its fields.
• Some values in CSV and TSV exports, including bulk action exports and the attachments manifest, could run as spreadsheet formulas when the file was opened in a spreadsheet application.

🐛 Fixed

• Pages with a Search Bar widget loaded more slowly after the GravityView 3.5.0 update, increasingly so with each search field, form field, and user on the site.
• Custom CSS that arranged List or Layout Builder entries into columns with the Legacy theme, such as the grid CSS from our documentation, displayed every entry in a single column after the GravityView 3.5.0 update.
• Entry links set to open in a lightbox, such as [gv_entry_link lightbox="true"], opened a full page instead in DataTables 3.14.0 and later and in Views that refresh results without reloading the page.
• Single Entry Title issues:
  • Single Entry pages and the entry lightbox had an empty title, and the Breadcrumbs block showed "(no title)", when the Single Entry Title setting was empty (the default) or its merge tags had no value for the entry — Single Entry pages now fall back to the page's title;
  • Single Entry pages of an embedded View with a Single Entry Slug showed the page's title instead of the Single Entry Title, and GravityView Social Sharing & SEO gave them the page's SEO title and the wrong canonical URL;
  • Views embedded with a merge tag in their search (such as search_value="{user:ID}") showed the page's title instead of the Single Entry Title and couldn't open entries in a lightbox.
• Issues on pages that display more than one View or entry embed:
  • When the same View was embedded more than once, an embed could show another embed's search, page size, or other shortcode settings, lose its widgets, or refuse to open its own entries in a lightbox;
  • When the same View was embedded more than once, its Single Entry pages displayed the entry once per embed;
  • A View lost its Search Bar widget, pagination, and other widgets when it followed an Entry block or [gventry] shortcode showing a Map View entry, or an entry displayed through a theme's legacy single entry template;
  • A View embedded in another View's field, such as a Custom Content field, pushed the parent View's remaining entries outside the View.
• Issues in Views that combine forms using the Multiple Forms extension:
  • With entry caching enabled, Views combining many forms through joins or unions could show another View's entries and ignore searches;
  • With entry caching disabled, a page showing two Views of the same form, one of which combined other forms, could display the first View's entries in the second View;
  • Sorting by a field that one of the combined forms lacks ordered that form's entries by entry ID and applied the second sort field as the first;
  • The Entry and Entry Field blocks and the [gventry] and [gvfield] shortcodes showed nothing for entries from a form combined through a union.
• Issues with the First and Last entry options:
  • The Entry Link block and [gv_entry_link] shortcode set to First or Last could link to an entry from a different View on the same page, and Last stopped at the end of the View's first page;
  • The Entry and Entry Field blocks and the [gventry] and [gvfield] shortcodes showed the first entry when set to Last, and both First and Last shifted with the View's current page.
• Search Bar widget issues:
  • Chained Selects fields didn't appear, and searching by them listed every entry;
  • Dropdowns didn't show the Drop Down field's Placeholder as their first option;
  • With "Search Everything" limited to visible fields, searching by a field the View didn't display (including through a GravityView Search widget) returned every entry.
• "Search Everything" issues:
  • Required (+) words matched an entry only when they all appeared in the same field;
  • In Views with joined forms, rows containing an excluded (-) word in one of the forms were still shown;
  • In Views that combine entries from several forms, an excluded (-) word returned no entries, and limiting the search to visible fields didn't apply to the added forms;
  • When limited to visible fields, an excluded (-) word still filtered out entries that contained it in a hidden field, and fields inside a visible Repeater field weren't searched;
  • % and _ acted as wildcards, matching any text or any single character, instead of being treated as plain characters.
• Search issues with fields that store IDs, such as Dynamic Lookup, GP Populate Anything, and GP Nested Forms fields:
  • Searching by the displayed name found nothing because it was compared with the stored ID;
  • Picking a Dynamic Lookup value from a Search Bar dropdown, radio button, or link also matched entries whose stored IDs contained it (for example, 7 also matched 78) — choices now match exactly, and Lookups that store several IDs match any one of them;
  • Searching a Dynamic Lookup field that uses the Checkbox input or a multi-select Select input found no entries.
• With "Allow searching beyond the start and end date range" enabled, Single Entry pages could show entries outside the View's date range when the page address included a date search.
• Issues with multi-page forms in Edit Entry:
  • Next and Previous saved the entry but stayed on the same page when the button text didn't match GravityView's translation for the user, such as for users in another language or when the View's Next or Previous text was customized;
  • Page links, such as those added by GP Multi-Page Navigation, opened the next page instead of the one clicked;
  • When a submission failed validation, a different page opened and the error stayed hidden on the page that had it;
  • Fields on pages after the first were saved without validation (for example, an Email field with an invalid address), including through GP Multi-Page Navigation's page links.
• Edit Entry flagged an unchanged Date or Time field with No Duplicates enabled as a duplicate, preventing the entry from being saved.
• Links to specific View editor tabs, such as "Add fields to Single Entry" in the notice shown when a layout hasn't been configured, opened the wrong tab.
• Issues with merge tag modifiers added by GravityView, which modified a field's stored value instead of its displayed value:
  • Text modifiers on Radio, Drop Down, and other choice fields changed the choice's value instead of its label (for a "By Phone" choice with the value phone, :strtoupper showed PHONE instead of BY PHONE);
  • Some modifiers removed HTML escaping from text fields;
  • :format:Y-m-d on a Date field showed the field's display format (such as 03/09/2026) when the stored date was already in the requested format;
  • Gravity Forms modifiers in the same merge tag, such as {Contact Method:1:value,strtoupper}, were ignored.

💻 Developer Updates

• First and Last lookups in [gventry], [gvfield], [gv_entry_link], and the Entry blocks now run the gravityview/view/entries filter, which receives the looked-up position as a new fourth argument (null for the View's page), and return nothing if a callback removes the boundary entry instead of moving on to the next one.
• Added gk/gravityview/view/boundary-entry/run-entries-filter filter to stop First and Last lookups from running the gravityview/view/entries filter.
• Added gk/gravityview/edit-entry/redirect filter to change where Edit Entry redirects users after an update.
• Added gk/gravityview/fields/gravityview-view/pre-render filter to replace a View field's output before it renders the embedded View.
• Added gk/gravityview/shortcode/is-reembedded filter to let a View rendered inside another View's page show its Single Entry pages and widgets.
• Added View::get_entry(), which returns an entry only if the View lists it, and View::lists_entry(), which checks an already-loaded entry against the View's filters and is now used by GVCommon::check_entry_display().
• GVCommon::check_entry_display() now allows an Embed Only View's entries on pages that belong to a different View, while the View's own URL stays closed.
• gravityview()->request->is_entry() called without a form ID now looks up custom entry slugs only in the form of the requested View.
• Items added through the gk/gravityview/search/searchable-fields/allowed filter can set is_search_key to true to keep a non-field search key, such as a map area, searchable when "Search Everything" is limited to visible fields.
• The REST API's single entry route now returns 404 for every entry the View doesn't show, including unapproved entries and entries from other forms, which previously returned 403.
• Fixed a PHP warning logged on every page after the first when editing multi-page forms in Edit Entry.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.36.0.

This update makes removing files in Edit Entry safer, includes security fixes, and resolves issues with Edit Entry, Populate Anything fields, search, and View layouts. We recommend updating.

Note: GravityView now requires Gravity Forms 2.9.4 or newer.

✨ Improved

• File removal in Edit Entry, which now takes effect only after clicking Update (leaving the page without updating keeps the files).

🔒 Security

• Improved security when deleting uploaded files in Edit Entry.
• Fixed a data disclosure issue in Edit Entry, limited to users already allowed to edit the entry.

🐛 Fixed

• The "Hide View data until search is performed" setting did not hide entries from the REST API, CSV and TSV exports, or [gravityview detail] counts, and blank searches or searches on fields the View did not offer still showed entries.
• Issues with choice fields populated by Populate Anything:
  • Saving an entry in Edit Entry changed or erased choices beyond the first 501, the default maximum Populate Anything loads;
  • Inline editing with GravityEdit did not offer saved choices that were not among the loaded choices, so saving erased them;
  • Merge tags used outside Custom Content fields showed the stored value instead of the label;
  • Custom entry slugs built from these fields switched between the stored value and the label (they now always use the label).
• Issues in Edit Entry:
  • Conditional logic restored the wrong value to a dynamically populated field whose parameter name matched an entry property, such as ip;
  • Calculation fields stopped updating after the first save when the entry had no stored value for them;
  • With Gravity Forms 3.1.2, files uploaded to a multi-file field were rejected when the form was resubmitted after a validation error;
  • Multi-file upload errors showed "Array" instead of the message for each file.
• Gravity Flow assignees could not delete uploaded files on User Input steps while GravityView was active.
• DataTables column filters had no effect after updating to GravityView 3.5.0.
• View settings added by add-ons, such as GravityMath's Calculation Row Background, went missing from the View editor in GravityView 3.0.
• Search Bar widget issues:
  • A large gap appeared between each search field and the Search button in the Horizontal layout on Views not using the Vantage theme;
  • Labels for radio, checkbox, date, date range, and number range fields ignored the theme's label styling and appeared at body text size;
  • Searches that did not specify a search mode ignored the Search Mode saved on the View and matched any field.
• Layout issues:
  • List and Layout Builder Views set to more than one column showed every entry in the first column;
  • Entries in Vantage Layout Builder Views lost the space between them;
  • Vantage Table Views grew wider than the page when a field held long text instead of wrapping it within the column widths.

💻 Developer Updates

• Deprecated GravityView_Edit_Entry::delete_file() and removed GravityView's handler for the rg_delete_file AJAX action, since Edit Entry now deletes removed files when the entry is updated.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.35.0.

This release adds default values for Search Bar fields, improves screen reader navigation, and fixes several search, sorting, and display issues.

Note: GravityView now requires WordPress 6.5 or newer.

🚀 Added

• Default Value setting for Search Bar fields, which pre-fills the field and filters the View until a visitor searches, offering a picker of choices for fields that have them.
• "No value" option setting for radio button search fields, adding a choice that clears the field since radio buttons cannot otherwise be deselected.

✨ Improved

• Screen reader navigation:
  • The Search Bar is a search landmark, the entries are a named region, and the View title names both;
  • Pagination arrows and First/Last links have accessible names;
  • Radio, checkbox, date, date range, and number range Search Bar fields announce their field name, which screen readers previously skipped;
  • Links search fields read as a named list of choices, announcing the field name and the active option.
• Readable query keys in search, sort, and pagination links (for example, sort[3] rather than sort%5B3%5D).
• Vantage theme styling of DataTables Views: pagination buttons match the rest of GravityView, the page-length control sits at the end of the toolbar, and focus outlines are fully visible.
• Keyboard and screen reader accessibility of conditional logic: focus stays in place when adding or removing a condition, the AND/OR switch is a single control, and date fields and buttons identify the field they belong to.
• Wider Custom Value box in narrow settings panels.

🐛 Fixed

• The User Activation field showed "Invalid activation key" instead of the Activate User button on multisite subsites.
• Issues in Views that combine entries from multiple forms (Multiple Forms extension):
  • A Search Bar field from a joined form searched the View's main form instead, matching the wrong entries or none at all;
  • Filters on a joined form's fields did not work with relative dates such as "yesterday";
  • Sorting by a field did nothing on sites running Gravity Forms older than 3.0.0.1.
• Vantage theme issues in the Search Bar:
  • A single-checkbox search field showed its checkbox below the field name instead of beside it;
  • Fields in the Advanced Search section ignored the Search Bar's grid, losing their column widths, spacing, and single-column layout on mobile.
• Choosing an option in a Links search field cleared the other search fields' values.
• Views added to a block theme's template or template part through the Site Editor were not recognized as part of the page.
• The :diff merge tag modifier (for example, {date_created:diff}) was off by the site's UTC offset, so an entry created two hours ago could show as "2 hours from now".
• A form: merge tag showed a value from the main form when the target form no longer had that field.
• Filters on product prices matched the wrong entries, especially with currencies that use a comma for decimals or place the symbol first (such as Pound Sterling).
• The page scrolled when a date picker calendar was opened or closed.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added the GET /wp-json/gravityview/v1/views/{view_id}/refresh endpoint, used by GravityKit layouts and extensions to fetch a View's entries, entry total, and page window for a given query, and enabled per layout with the gk/gravityview/view/refresh/live filter (documented in docs/view-refresh.md).
• Added sorting by a joined form's field on any layout with a sort[<field_id>:<form_id>] URL parameter, ignoring keys that name a form the View does not join.
• Search Bar fields from a joined form now render the matching filter_<field_id>:<form_id> key.
• The gk/gravityview/view/entries/query/sorting-parameters filter now provides a form_id key on each sorting parameter, identifying the form the sort column belongs to.
• Added the gk/gravityview/view/output filter to modify a View's fully rendered HTML before it is returned.
• Added the gk/gravityview/search/field/default-value filter to provide or override a Search Bar field's default value.
• The {gv_entry_link} merge tag wrote a deprecation notice to the debug log every time it rendered.
• Search Bar fields that hold a group of inputs (radio, checkbox, chained select, date, date range, number range, and entry date) now render as <fieldset class="gv-search-box ..."> with a <legend> instead of a <div> with a <label>:
  • Class names, IDs, input names, and the per-choice .gv-check-radio labels are unchanged;
  • Custom CSS works with both versions when it leaves the element name off the class (.gv-search-box, not div.gv-search-box) and targets both field-name elements (.gv-search-box > label, .gv-search-box > legend).

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.33.0.

This release strengthens the "Prevent Direct Access" setting and fixes several Single Entry, Edit Entry, Custom CSS, and merge tag issues.

✨ Improved

• Views with "Prevent Direct Access" enabled now return a "not found" page at their own URL and are excluded from the WordPress sitemap, feeds, archives, and previous/next links, while still working wherever they are embedded and remaining accessible to administrators and editors.

🐛 Fixed

• The Edit Entry, Delete Entry, and Duplicate Entry link fields did not appear on a user's own Single Entry when that entry was not on the View's first page.
• Single Entry pages in Views with joined forms (Multiple Forms extension) showed "You are not allowed to view this content." when an Entry Slug was set.
• Long column headings in Table Views using the Vantage theme did not wrap, overlapping the next column.
• Custom CSS and Vantage theme styling did not apply in several places:
  • Custom CSS on Views using the Vantage theme had no effect on the Single Entry page unless it used VIEW_SELECTOR;
  • Custom CSS written with VIEW_SELECTOR or VIEW_WRAPPER, and Custom CSS on Views using the Vantage theme, had no effect on the Edit Entry page;
  • The Vantage theme's typography and style settings did not apply to the Edit Entry page.
• The {now}, {yesterday} and {tomorrow} merge tags showed the wrong time on sites not set to UTC, and did not return UTC when the :no_tz_offset modifier was used.
• The gravityview/template/field/label filter had no effect on field labels on the Maps layout's Single Entry page.

💻 Developer Updates

• New gk/gravityview/view/output/direct/404 filter to show the previous message page instead of a "not found" response when a View that prevents direct access is visited at its own URL (return false).
• The Edit Entry wrapper (.gv-edit-entry-wrapper) now also carries the gv-container gv-container-{View ID} classes and a gv-view-{View ID}-edit-{Entry ID} id.

This update restores Address field Country searching and fixes merge tag pickers in the View editor, both broken by changes in recent Gravity Forms releases.

🐛 Fixed

• A View setting supplied by an add-on could place unfiltered markup in the View editor.
• The View editor showed every merge tag picker open and unstyled on Gravity Forms 3.1.1 and newer.
• Address field Country issues:
  • Searching by country returned no entries submitted since Gravity Forms 3.0.3, which stores the country as its two-letter code;
  • The Country input added to a View on its own showed the code (for example, "PR") instead of the country name;
  • Searching Country matched every country whose name contains what was searched, so "US" also returned entries from Australia and Austria.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.32.1.

This release fixes an incompatibility with Gravity Flow on Gravity Forms 3.0 and newer, improves accessibility of the Entry Approval chooser, and includes many other fixes.

🐛 Fixed

• Edit Entry could not be submitted on Gravity Forms 3.0 and newer when Gravity Flow was active: clicking Update or Next did nothing, with no error and no changes saved.
• A search field's Input Type and other field-specific settings disappeared from its settings window after saving the View until the field was removed and re-added. This affected fields added from your form, including the Gravity Flow workflow fields.
• Edit Entry logged an "Unsupported submission flow detected" warning to the browser console every time it was displayed.
• The Entry Approval field could show and change another form's entry in Views with joins using the Multiple Forms extension.
• Entry Approval buttons showed HTML code instead of the approve, disapprove and reset icons when another plugin loaded its own copy of the Tippy tooltip library.
  • GravityView's bundled Tippy and Popper libraries broke tooltips in other plugins that bundle their own copies.
• Searching by entry creator on a page showing more than one View could search using another View's settings, returning the wrong entries.
• The Approval Status chooser is now fully usable with a keyboard and a screen reader, in the Gravity Forms Entries list and in Views on your site alike:
  • Press Enter or Space on an entry's approval button to open the chooser, the arrow keys to move between Approve, Disapprove and Reset Approval, and Enter or Space to choose one. Escape or Tab closes it and returns you to the approval button;
  • A screen reader now says which status an entry is set to, and reports the new status once it changes;
  • Opening the chooser with the keyboard no longer jumps the page to the bottom, leaving the chooser and its entry off screen;
  • The approval button and the three options are now large enough to be a comfortable target on a touch screen.
• The approval status chooser did not work in a DataTables View until the table was redrawn by sorting or paging.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added the gk/gravityview/edit-entry/form-tag filter, which modifies the opening <form> tag of the Edit Entry form.
• Removed the gravityview_entries_list-popper and gravityview-field-approval-popper script handles. The bundled tooltip library includes Popper, so the separate file was never used.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.32.0.

This release fixes multiple minor View editor problems that could lose your widgets or your most recent changes, and cleans up field settings that showed up where they do not apply.

🔒 Security

• Hardens how the Support Port identifies you to our support system.

🐛 Fixed

• Issues in the View editor:
  • Updating a View before the Widgets area fully loaded removed the View's configured widgets;
  • Checking one of two mutually exclusive field options, such as opening a link in a lightbox or in a new window, left the other option checked, so both were saved;
  • Changes made after a save that another plugin interrupted were missing from the next save;
  • Field settings added by other plugins under their own grouping did not appear in the field settings dialog.
  • The "Open in a lightbox?" and "Open link in a new tab or window?" field settings appeared when configuring Single Entry and Edit Entry fields, where they do nothing.
• URLs entered with a leading space were rejected as invalid.
• Fields with a Custom CSS Class were missing the separator line above them on single entry screens using the Layout Builder layout.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added the gravityview/merge-tags/setup JavaScript trigger, fired on document.body before GravityView sets up Merge Tag autocomplete in the View editor. Handlers get the textarea and the wp.codeEditor instance, and can call preventDefault() to take over the field with their own merge tag picker.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.31.1.

🐛 Fixed

• Edit Entry ignored changes to fields, and could clear stored values, on forms where a field with its Gravity Forms visibility set to "Hidden" controls conditional logic or dynamically populated choices.
• View settings that store multiple checkbox choices, such as the Form Notifications setting added by PDF for GravityView, were discarded when saving a View.
• GravityView shortcodes inside code blocks were mangled, showing encoded text starting with b64: in place of the attribute values.
• Issues with entry approval in the Gravity Forms Entries list:
  • Clicking the approval toggle did nothing, and choosing a status from its popover reported that the request was invalid on WordPress 7.1;
  • Confirmation messages did not appear after a bulk Approve, Disapprove, or Reset Approval;
  • The approval column was added to forms that do not have any entries yet, so the "no entries" message did not line up with the table.
• Single entry links opened the list of entries instead of the entry on sites running Formidable Forms Pro, when a Formidable view used entry as its detail parameter.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.30.0.

This release fixes several issues affecting Views that combine entries from multiple forms, View display settings, and Export Link widget visibility.

🐛 Fixed

• Issues in Views that combine entries from multiple forms (Multiple Forms extension):
  • The Entry Notes field showed another form's notes;
  • Choice-based fields from joined forms were missing the setting that chooses between showing the choice value or the choice label.
• The Export Link widget offered a download link to visitors who are not allowed to export on Views with "Prevent Direct Access" enabled or Views that are not published publicly.
• Issues with View display settings:
  • The "Hide the View" and "Hide View until search is performed" settings had no effect on Views using a theme or multiple columns;
  • Views lost their theme, custom CSS class, and the "Hide the View" setting when the site's theme contained a GravityView template override.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.29.0.

This release adds display options to the Entry Notes field, improves drag-and-drop in the View editor, resolves an HTML escaping issue in the View editor, and fixes issues with search, multi-form Views, and the View block.

🚀 Added

• The Entry Notes field can now display the number of notes, a simple Yes/No, or custom text (merge tags supported) instead of the notes themselves — useful for flagging entries that have been commented on, including in exports.

✨ Improved

• Dragging a field in the View editor now follows the pointer, so the zone under the mouse receives the field — narrow and empty zones are easier to target.

🐛 Fixed

• HTML in a form field's label was output without escaping in the View editor.
• The Entry Notes field exported an empty column to CSV.
• Searching by Entry Date returned the wrong entries on sites with a non-UTC timezone — results were shifted by the timezone offset, so entries from the searched date were missing while entries from a neighboring day appeared.
• Table layouts using a theme other than Legacy displayed a solid white background behind the table, so rounded corners looked square on colored or dark pages.
• Issues in Views that combine entries from multiple forms using the Multiple Forms extension:
  • Pagination and entry totals counted only the primary form's entries on Gravity Forms 3.0, so pages of results could be missing and reported counts were too low;
  • Single entry pages could open the wrong entry, or none at all, on sites that use custom entry slugs.
• Dragging fields in the View editor: the Move and Duplicate buttons wrapped onto a second line in narrow columns, and a field could not be picked up when the drag started on those buttons.
• View block issues in the block editor:
  • Enabling Preview loaded the site's front-end styles into the editor and changed its appearance — preview styles now load only inside the editor canvas;
  • The block's controls (View selector, Preview toggle) appeared unstyled;
  • A preview that failed once kept showing the error after a later preview succeeded.
• An "Entry meta already set" error was repeatedly logged when another plugin (e.g., GravityBoard) had already registered the same entry meta key.
• PHP warnings ("Undefined array key 10") appeared above Views on sites with custom code attached to the deprecated gravityview_after action at a non-default priority.
• URLs registered by other plugins (such as Uncanny Toolkit Pro's group sign-up pages) redirected to the home page on sites that use a static front page.
• GravityView's notification events (entry approved, updated, deleted, duplicated) were not sent — with no error — on sites where another plugin modified the form through the gform_pre_render filter.

💻 Developer Updates

• Views that combine entries from multiple forms now pass an extra union key in the SQL fragments array filtered by gform_gf_query_sql, holding the UNION ALL statements and the subquery's closing alias. Code that rebuilds that array from a fixed list of keys needs to carry it through, or the query loses its unioned forms.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.28.0.

This release adds Alt/Option-drag copying and accessibility improvements to the View editor, improves how Views combine entries from multiple forms, and resolves issues with lightboxes and embedded Views, Checkbox sorting, and fatal errors.

🚀 Added

• Hold Alt/Option while dropping a dragged field, widget, or search field in the View editor to copy it instead of moving it — the original stays in place and the copy keeps its settings.

✨ Improved

• Keyboard and screen reader accessibility in the View editor:
  • Rows and fields can now be reordered without a mouse using Move buttons in a keyboard-navigable toolbar (Up and Down to reorder, Left and Right to move a field between columns), with a screen reader announcement after each move;
  • Better keyboard and screen reader support for layout controls;
  • Various other screen reader improvements.
• Views that combine entries from multiple forms using the Multiple Forms extension now display their results reliably.

🐛 Fixed

• Sorting a View by a Checkbox field left the rows unchanged — clicking the column header now sorts by the first checked choice, in both directions.
• Pressing Ctrl+F to search inside the Custom CSS and Custom JavaScript editors saved the View and reloaded the page instead of opening the search.
• Issues with Views embedded in blocks:
  • An entry opened in a lightbox showed "The requested entry could not be found." when the View was placed inside a Group, Columns, or other container block;
  • The lightbox now reads the embed page's filtering context only when that page actually displays the View;
  • Blocks that reference a View without displaying it (Entry, Entry Field, Entry Link, and View Details) are no longer counted as embeds of that View on the page.
• Opening an entry in a View that uses the Maps single entry layout logged a PHP warning on every request, and the "Go back" link could lose its View reference or not render at all.
• Opening a single entry from a View embedded on the site's static front page showed the theme's "not found" page when the entry link contained extra URL parameters.
• Setting --gv-shadow-color removed every shadow instead of tinting them — the variable now accepts a normal CSS color (see Developer Updates).
• Fatal errors when a percent sign appeared in a Search Bar field label (e.g., "100% sure") or in a Table layout row attribute name added by a custom filter.

💻 Developer Updates

• --gv-shadow-color is now a true <color> value (default #121961), tinted via color-mix() instead of rgb(var(--gv-shadow-color) / <alpha>) — if you set this variable in your own CSS, replace 18 25 97 with #121961, since the old three-number value now falls back to the default tint on browsers with @property support (Chrome 85+, Safari 16.4+, Firefox 128+) and removes the shadow on Firefox 113–127 and Safari 16.2–16.3.
• color-mix() requires Chromium 111+, Safari 16.2+, or Firefox 113+ — older engines keep shadows at the default tint via static rgba() fallbacks, except per-View shadow depth overrides, which are emitted unguarded and render without a shadow.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.27.0.

This update resolves a lightbox error in Views with page-dependent Advanced Filtering conditions and clears a stuck dashboard warning about the extension being inactive.

🐛 Fixed

• Opening an entry in a lightbox showed "The requested entry could not be found." when the View's Advanced Filtering conditions depended on the page the View was embedded on (e.g., using {custom_field:...} or {embed_post:...} merge tags).
• A dashboard warning that the Advanced Filtering extension was inactive could remain stuck and non-dismissible after the extension was reactivated; it is now cleared automatically.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.26.0.

This release adds a Table layout row-header setting for better screen reader support and a View editor warning when the Edit Entries bulk action can't run on the frontend, restores the LifterLMS integration, scopes a front-end search to the View it was performed on, includes security hardening for embedded Views, and fixes an issue that could prevent activation on some configurations, along with several lightbox, access, accessibility, and Vantage-style layout issues.

🚀 Added

• Table layout: a new "Use this field as a row header" field setting renders that column's cells as <th scope="row"> instead of <td>, so screen readers announce the identifying cell (like a name or title) as context for the other cells in the row.

✨ Improved

• Hardened the "Enhanced Security" embed secret. Existing embeds keep working; if one ever stops rendering, re-copy its embed code from the View editor. Developers can require the new secret on specific Views (see Developer Updates).
• The View editor now warns when the Edit Entries bulk action can't run on the frontend because the View's form uses conditional logic, instead of allowing the action to be configured and silently do nothing.
• Phone field compatibility with Gravity Forms 3.0+.

🐛 Fixed

• An entry opened in a lightbox showed "The requested entry could not be found." when the View's filtering depended on a value from the page request (e.g., Advanced Filtering configured to read a URL parameter).
• An entry opened in a lightbox could show a raw error ({"code":"rest_cookie_invalid_nonce",...}) instead of the entry when the visitor had logged out or their session expired (for example, a tab left open past the daily security-token refresh). The lightbox now falls back to the normal access-controlled response: a public entry displays, and a restricted one shows the friendly "could not be found" message.
• The confirmation message did not display after duplicating or deleting an entry from the front end.
• On the List layout, placing heading markup (such as an <h1> in a Custom Content field) in the Listing Title or Subtitle zones left an empty heading in the page that accessibility checkers like WAVE flagged as an "Empty heading" error. The layout's heading wrapper now becomes a <div> when the field's content is itself a heading, and is omitted entirely when there is nothing to display.
• Entries appeared in the Multiple Entries layout but showed "You are not allowed to view this content." when opened or edited, even by administrators. This affected entries whose status was saved with different capitalization (e.g., Active instead of active), which can happen when entries are imported.
• A Search Bar Date Range field overflowed its column in both "Separate Fields" and "Combined" modes, running off-screen or overlapping the adjacent field; the pickers now shrink to the available width and stack when the column is narrow.
• The Search Bar's Search button rendered at the horizontal center of the form instead of below the search fields, and on browsers without :has() support it aligned with a neighboring field's label instead of its input.
• The Search Bar's Clear/Reset button was missing on pages without an active search, so changing inputs no longer revealed the Reset button; it is now always part of the form again and appears when there is something to reset or clear.
• Removing the last widget from a widget-area row and updating the View removed the row itself from the editor with no way to add it back; the default full-width and half-width rows now always stay available as drop targets.
• Activating GravityView could prevent a site from loading when its theme or another plugin already included the same email-obfuscation library.
• A deprecation warning ("The gravityviewtemplate..._options hook is deprecated") was logged blaming an add-on such as Gravity Flow when the add-on registered a custom field or widget type, even though GravityView itself attaches that hook on the add-on's behalf.
• The GravityView integration was missing from the LifterLMS Settings → Integrations screen (and the "My Forms" student dashboard tab with it) since the 3.0 update.
• The [gv_entry_link] shortcode with lightbox="true" opened a full page instead of the lightbox when the View's entries were loaded over AJAX, such as on the DataTables layout.
• A DataTables View using the Vantage theme rendered a narrow table pushed to one side of the View, with empty space beside it, when FixedHeader or FixedColumns was enabled.
• A "translation loading triggered too early" (_load_textdomain_just_in_time) notice appeared on WordPress 6.7 and newer because some widgets and field types loaded translations too early.
• Single entry pages could fail to load when custom entry slugs were enabled and an entry link was built for an entry that could not be resolved, such as by the WPML language switcher rebuilding entry links in the page header.
• A Time field's "Override Date Format" box showed the default format (e.g. h:i A) even when left empty and could not be cleared, and saving the View baked that format in. The default is now shown as a placeholder hint, so the box stays empty and the field keeps following the form's time format.
• Duplicating an entry failed when the request had no user agent, such as from WP-CLI or other server-side requests.
• Suppressing an internal deprecated-hook notice could remove an identical suppression filter registered by other code on deprecated_hook_trigger_error, causing deprecation notices that the other code had silenced to print.
• When multiple Views were embedded on the same page and one had a search bar, performing a search also filtered the other Views, so a View set to hide when it has no entries showed "This search returned no results." instead. A search now applies only to the View it was performed on.

💻 Developer Updates

• Entry approval checks now accept the lowercase approved value in the is_approved entry meta, matching the already-accepted Approved and 1 values.
• Edit Entry now uses GFAPI::get_entry() and GF_Field::get_value_save_input() instead of GFFormsModel::get_lead() and GFFormsModel::prepare_value(), deprecated in Gravity Forms 3.0.
• GravityView no longer listens to its own deprecated hooks, clearing deprecated-hook entries from debugging tools like Query Monitor. The deprecated hooks still fire for third-party code.
• Added gk/gravityview/template/options/pre-context filter to modify typed field options before they are filtered by context.
• Added gk/gravityview/deprecated-hook-notices/product-dirs filter to register additional directories as GravityKit products for deprecated-hook classification, and the internal product list now refreshes until Foundation has fully initialized.
• Added gk/gravityview/field-output/fix-heading-wrapper filter to disable the automatic demotion and suppression of heading wrappers in field output.
• Added the gk/gravityview/search/scope-to-view filter (default true) to control whether a front-end search is scoped to the View it was performed on. Return false to restore the legacy behavior where one search bar filters every View on the page.
• Added the gk/gravityview/view/secret/allow-legacy filter to control whether a View accepts the embed secret it used before this release. Existing embeds keep working by default; return false to require the current site-specific secret.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.25.0.

This release hardens lightbox entry access, fixes opening and editing entries in a lightbox, and fixes an issue with the Bulk Edit action's field picker.

🔒 Security

• Hardens access control for entries opened in a lightbox. We recommend updating to the latest version.

🐛 Fixed

• Fixes an entry showing "The requested entry could not be found." when opened or edited in a lightbox (a regression introduced in 3.0.1), even though the same entry opened correctly as a full page. This affected Views set to "Embed Only" and Views using a custom entry slug.
• When using the Bulk Actions "Edit Entries" action with "Pick specific fields", a selected form field was not shown the next time the View editor settings were opened, causing the selection to be lost when the View was saved again.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.24.2.

This release includes several security hardening improvements and fixes a handful of display and shortcode issues.

🔒 Security

• Hardens access control and output escaping across several areas. We recommend updating to the latest version.

🐛 Fixed

• The "Container Tag" setting on DIY Layout was hidden in the View editor.
• Adding a single input of a Chained Selects field to a View (for example, only the "City" dropdown) displayed the entire field with every dropdown's label and value, instead of just that input's value.
• A View using the Vantage theme's table layout could extend past the screen edge on mobile devices instead of fitting within the viewport.
• The GravityView "My Forms" tab on a LifterLMS student dashboard could appear in the wrong position or have a broken link, depending on which other dashboard tabs were enabled (for example, when the "My Certificates" tab was disabled).
• The GravityKit icon in the WordPress admin toolbar appeared vertically off-center (sitting too low) inside the WordPress admin, while displaying correctly on the frontend.
• The [gv_entry_link] shortcode could point to the wrong View when another View was embedded earlier in the same post or page.
• The [gvlogic] shortcode's in and not_in operators did not match values stored as comma-separated lists (such as List and Multi-Select fields) or single values, only JSON arrays.

GravityView 3.0 is the biggest release in years: Give your Views a fresh look with the new Vantage theme, users no longer need WordPress admin access to perform bulk actions on entries, a powerful new way to create Views using your AI agent, and more!

🚀 Added

• Vantage: a new, great-looking theme for Views.
  • Built-in card layout capability with the Columns control.
  • For existing Views, enable Vantage in your View Settings' Styles tab.
  • A site-wide Default theme setting (GravityKit → Settings → GravityView → Appearance) that applies Vantage to new Views by default.
• Frontend bulk actions on table-layout Views, applied to selected entries:
  • Delete, Approve, Disapprove, Export;
  • Bulk Edit of field values, including complex field types (dropdown, radio, checkbox, multiselect, Name inputs, and Address text inputs);
  • Resend Notifications to (re)send Gravity Forms notifications;
  • Download Attachments to package file-upload attachments into a single ZIP download;
  • Optional background processing on each action, for large entry sets.
• Create and configure Views using the GravityKit MCP:
  • Control everything about your View using your AI assistant;
  • Also create and edit your Gravity Forms forms;
  • Powered by the WordPress Abilities API, available in WordPress 6.9 and newer.
• Search Bar improvements:
  • Date range presets in the Search Bar, including This Week, This Year, Last Year, and the last four completed quarters.
  • "Date range layout" setting: two separate date pickers, or a new combined date range picker.
  • Minimum and maximum date settings on date fields limit the dates a visitor can select in the picker. Supports absolute dates (e.g. 2026-01-31) and relative dates (e.g. "-1 year", "now").
• Revision history for Views, with one-click restore from the Revisions box in the Edit View screen.

✨ Improved

• Switching View types (for example, from Table to Layout Builder) now maintains your configured fields instead of resetting the configuration.
• When creating a new View, the editor has form fields pre-filled for all layout types (previously only for Table and DataTables layout types).
• Added a Display Mode setting to the Page Links widget to improve View navigation, with three options: Numbers with arrows (default, unchanged), Numbers with Previous/Next labels, or Previous/Next only.
• Multiple Views on the same page can now be paginated independently of one another.
• Loading the block editor is now significantly faster on sites with many Views.

💻 Developer Updates

Check out the new GravityKit Developer MCP - develop faster by enabling your AI to quickly find what it needs!

• Read what you need to know about the GravityView 3.0 migration.
• Added a GravityView Theme CSS Token System for easily styling every aspect of a View.
• Refactored the codebase to use a PSR-4 autoloaded GravityKitGravityView* namespace, with core classes moved from includes/ and future/ into a unified src/ directory. Lazy-loaded class aliases keep legacy GV* and GravityView_* class names working.
• Added formal Contracts interfaces for core components, including Views, Entries, Fields, Forms, and Widgets.
• Added the GravityView Abilities layer: a set of gk-gravityview/* abilities registered with the WordPress Abilities API that make View authoring — creating Views and configuring their fields, widgets, search, and layouts — available over REST and to AI agents through MCP. Add-ons can register their own abilities and hook into the View lifecycle to extend what's automatable (for example, gk/gravityview/rest/view/cloned and gk/gravityview/rest/view-config/apply/after).
• Added the gk/gravityview/bulk-actions/* filter and action namespace for the new frontend bulk actions. Register or modify the available actions with gk/gravityview/bulk-actions/actions, gate them with gk/gravityview/bulk-actions/action-is-available, and configure per-action settings and field requirements with gk/gravityview/bulk-actions/action-config, gk/gravityview/bulk-actions/action-settings, and gk/gravityview/bulk-actions/action-field-requirements.
• Added background-processing controls for bulk actions with many new hooks
• Added gk/gravityview/admin/field-type/class filter to modify the field-type rendering class. Its default is now the PSR-4 namespaced class name (GravityKitGravityViewAdminFieldTypes{Type}):
  • Deprecated gravityview/setting/class/{$field_type} in its favor (existing hooks continue to fire);
  • Removed the gravityview/setting/class_file/{$field_type} filter and the src/Admin/Rendering/field-types/ directory it gated;
  • Legacy GravityView_FieldType_* names continue to resolve via class_alias().
• Replaced the jQuery UI datepicker with a modern, accessible date picker from Query Filters across the Search Bar and View editor.
  • Removed the jQuery UI datepicker dependency: the jquery-ui-datepicker script and the Google-hosted ajax.googleapis.com/.../smoothness/jquery-ui.css stylesheet are no longer enqueued.
• Deprecated the gravityview_datepicker_settings filter and the GravityView_Widget_Search::add_datepicker_localization() / add_datepicker_js_dependency() methods that fed it. Use gk/query-filters/date-picker/translations and gk/query-filters/date-range-picker/translations instead. fe-views.datepicker() is now a no-op shim retained for backward compatibility with external callers.
• Added gk/gravityview/view/revisions/tracked-meta-keys filter to register additional View meta keys for revision tracking.
• Added gk/gravityview/view/revisions/restored action, fired after a View revision is restored.
• Added per-View pagination parameters (pagenum_{View ID}) so multiple Views on a page can paginate independently. The parameter is always honored when present; to generate per-View pagination links instead of the shared ?pagenum=, enable the new gk/gravityview/pagination/scoped-keys filter (off by default).
• Added gk/gravityview/search/datepicker/min-date and gk/gravityview/search/datepicker/max-date filters to set or override a Search Bar date field's selectable range per View.
• Added gk/gravityview/search/date-range-picker/presets filter to customize the date range preset list.
• Added gk/gravityview/admin-views/template-switch/fields filter to modify the migrated field configuration when a View's layout is switched in the editor.
• Added gravityview/view-config-error JavaScript event on document.body, fired after the View editor recovers from a failed zone configuration request.
• In the gravityview_page_links_args filter, type is now force-overridden to array when the Page Links widget's Display Mode is set to "Previous / Next only" or when "Show First / Last links" is enabled (those modes post-process the link list). Filters that set type to list or plain continue to work for the other modes.

This release fixes empty entry links and several Edit Entry issues, improves Entry Locking, and stops a duplicate admin notice for Views with Enhanced Security enabled.

✨ Improved

• The "missing secret" admin notice for a View with Enhanced Security embedded without its secret attribute now appears once per page, instead of a separate notice for every entry visited.
• Entry Locking now releases the lock as soon as the editor leaves the page and stores a single transient per entry, so other users can edit sooner and the options table stays cleaner.

🐛 Fixed

• The {gv_entry_link} merge tag and [gv_entry_link] shortcode produced empty links on the Single Entry page of a View with Enhanced Security enabled.
• Saving a View in Safari is faster.
• Multiple issues with Edit Entry page behavior:
  • The "Cancel" button required a second click to leave Edit Entry after taking over a locked entry;
  • The "Cancel" button returned to the previous edit instead of the Single Entry after an entry had been updated;
  • Pressing Enter while editing an entry with a File Upload or Post Image field cleared form fields instead of submitting the form.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.22.0.

This release adapts the View editor and GravityKit admin pages to the admin color scheme changes in WordPress 7.

✨ Improved

• The View editor and the GravityKit Settings, Manage Your Kit, and Background Jobs pages now follow the active WordPress admin color scheme.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.20.0.

This release fixes a JavaScript error that could disable interactive features on View pages, an Unapproved entries filter that returned all results when combined with a search, a regression where single-file upload fields could fail Edit Entry validation or silently lose their existing file, and incorrectly blocked Gravity PDF updates.

🐛 Fixed

• A JavaScript error on View pages could disable interactive features (datepickers, the Search Bar widget, sorting, multi-page Edit Entry forms) in certain plugin or optimizer configurations.
• The Unapproved entries filter on the Gravity Forms Entries list returned all entries when combined with a search query.
• Single-file upload fields in Edit Entry: required fields could fail validation on submit, and optional fields could silently clear an existing file, even when no new file was uploaded.
• Updates to Gravity PDF were incorrectly blocked because it was misidentified as a GravityKit product.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gravityview/approve-entries/refresh JavaScript event on document. Trigger it after the Gravity Forms Entries list table is re-rendered (e.g., AJAX updates) to re-inject the approval column and re-bind the approval controls.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.19.0.

This release fixes a fatal error triggered by empty Search Bar submissions, incorrect Date field display with custom formats, and a stray deprecated hook notice in the admin.

🐛 Fixed

• An empty search keyword submitted via the Search Bar widget could trigger a fatal error on the View page.
• Date fields could display today's date instead of the entry's actual date when a custom Date Format was used.
• A deprecated hook notice could appear in the WordPress admin when viewing entries in a lightbox.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.18.0.

This release speeds up the Views list page on form-heavy sites and fixes File Upload fields rendering blank in Views.

✨ Improved

• Faster loading of the Views list page on sites with a large number of forms.

🐛 Fixed

• File Upload fields rendered blank in Views on Gravity Forms 2.10.0 and later

💻 Developer Updates

• Restored $context argument passed to gravityview/field_output/* filters in the legacy table and list templates.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.17.0.

This release adds a setting to modify the Edit Entry page title, adds support for the Gravity Flow Assignee field in the Search Bar widget, and resolves a fatal error on PHP 8+.

🚀 Added

• View setting to customize the title shown on the Edit Entry screen.
• Search Bar widget now renders the Gravity Flow Assignee field as a dropdown of users and roles.

🐛 Fixed

• Fatal error that could occur on PHP 8+ when an unexpected URL value was passed to a date-range or number-range field in the Search Bar widget.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityview/edit-entry/title filter to modify the title shown on the Edit Entry screen.
• Added gk/gravityview/edit-entry/document-title filter to override the browser tab title on Edit Entry independently of the page heading.
• Added gk/gravityview/search/field/choices filter to supply Search Bar choices for Gravity Forms-backed fields that don't populate $field->choices natively (e.g., the Gravity Flow Assignee field).
• Deprecated the gravityview_edit_entry_title filter in favor of gk/gravityview/edit-entry/title.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.16.1.

This update includes internal code improvements.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.16.0.

This release adds a View setting to extend searches beyond configured date ranges and a live-updating Search Bar configuration summary, and resolves compatibility issues with Gravity Forms 2.9.31.3+.

🚀 Added

• View setting to allow searching beyond the configured start and end date range.
• Live-updating Search Bar configuration summary in the View editor that shows field count and search mode without opening the settings dialog.

🐛 Fixed

• ?filter_<ID>=value request arguments could bypass the "Search in visible fields only" setting.
• Gravity Forms 2.9.31.3 compatibility:
  • Duplicate "Edit" action link on the Gravity Forms entries page;
  • GravityView notifications for entry deletion and approval status changes were not sent when async notifications were enabled.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityview/admin/widget-info filter to allow widgets to add custom summary information in the View editor.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.15.0.

This release resolves an issue where the "Search in visible fields only" setting could interfere with unrelated query conditions, and a separate issue where [gv_entry_link] URLs were missing pre-populated field values.

🐛 Fixed

• "Search in visible fields only" setting was incorrectly removing non-search conditions (such as approval status) from queries, allowing unapproved entries to appear and breaking Single Entry access.
• The field_values attribute in the [gv_entry_link] shortcode was not being appended to URLs when using read or delete link types.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.14.0.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.13.0.

This update fixes search issues affecting Multi Select fields and URL parameter filtering.

🐛 Fixed

• Search not returning results for Multi Select fields.
• URL search parameters not filtering results when the Search Bar is configured with only the "Search Everything" field.

This release resolves third-party plugin compatibility issues, Gravity Forms field rendering in Single Entry, and Custom Content field label handling in the View editor.

🐛 Fixed

• The Gravity Forms field did not render correctly in Single Entry, causing broken CSS styling, form feeds, and third-party integration issues.
• Sorting a View by column broke page styles when PDF for GravityView download links were present.
• Admin Labels set on Custom Content fields were replaced by Custom Labels after saving the View.
• Fatal error caused by a third-party plugin conflict that prevented GravityView from loading.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.11.0.

This update gives you more styling control over rows in the Layout Builder template and addresses issues affecting Edit Entry, Gravity PDF, and View widgets.

🚀 Added

• Ability to configure custom CSS classes and HTML IDs for Layout Builder row wrapper elements in the View editor.

🐛 Fixed

• Fatal errors in various scenarios:
  • On PHP 8+ when editing an entry with the Created By field in the edit layout and the form's honeypot enabled;
  • On the Edit Entry page with multi-column List fields caused by certain plugins;
  • When Gravity PDF generates a PDF for forms with Quiz fields.
• View widgets (e.g., Search Bar, Page Links) rendering multiple times on pages that also contain a GravityView Search sidebar widget.
• Embedded View in a Custom Content field not rendering inside lightbox Single Entry, showing "You are not allowed to view this content" instead.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gravityview/template/layout-builder/row/attributes filter to modify the HTML attributes of Layout Builder rows.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.10.0.

This release introduces the ability to filter Entry Notes by type, resolves multiple Edit Entry issues including hidden fields, List fields, and multi-page navigation, and fixes File Upload secure links forcing downloads instead of opening in the browser.

🚀 Added

• Entry Notes field setting to filter displayed note types, such as hiding notification confirmations while showing only user notes.

💻 Developer Updates

• Migrated the entire codebase to PSR-4 autoloading under the GravityKitGravityView namespace. All classes from includes/ (GravityView_*) and future/ (GV*) now live in src/ with class_alias() bridges preserving full backwards compatibility.
• Removed the includes/ and future/ directories. All class files are now consolidated under src/.
• Removed the Composer classmap autoloader in favor of PSR-4 autoloading with lazy SPL autoloaders for legacy aliases.
• Reorganized src/Support/ into domain-specific directories: Data/, Logging/, Media/, Migration/, Renderer/, Template/, Utils/, Frontend/, Core/, GravityForms/, and Wrappers/.
• Added a deprecation tracking layer that logs usage of old class names, helping developers identify code that should be updated.
• Added a developer migration guide (docs/developer-migration-guide.md) with class mapping tables and code examples.
• Consolidated 48 individual integration hook wp_loaded callbacks into a single filesystem-based discovery and registration system.
• Added Assets and Path helper classes to centralize plugin URL and file path resolution.
• Moved template, partial, and asset files to standardized locations within src/.
• Replaced scattered plugins_url() calls with the centralized Assets helper.
• Replaced json_encode() calls with wp_json_encode() for WordPress coding standards compliance.
• Added backslash prefixes to global function calls in namespaced files for consistency and performance.
• Removed future/loader.php. The bootstrap logic now runs directly from gravityview.php. Any code that explicitly required future/loader.php will need to be updated.
• Legacy class aliases are now registered via a lazy SPL autoloader at plugins_loaded priority 0. Code that calls class_exists('GravityView_*') before plugins_loaded (e.g., in mu-plugins) may get false where the old classmap autoloader returned true. Use the plugins_loaded hook with priority >= 1 to safely check for GravityView classes.

🐛 Fixed

• Hidden fields not appearing on the Edit Entry page when the gravityview/edit_entry/reveal_hidden_field filter returns true.
• Multi-column List fields with data on the Edit Entry page no longer display serialized array data when revealed via conditional logic.
• Edit Entry Next/Previous buttons not navigating to the correct page on multi-page forms.
• The "Unapproved" entries filter preventing other plugins from modifying the entry query.
• Layout Builder template now has distinct CSS classes for Single Entry (gv-layout-builder-single-container) and Multiple Entries (gv-layout-builder-multiple-container) views, matching the pattern used by Table and List templates.

• Prevented potential PHP warnings in View joins and unions retrieval when post meta contains unexpected data.
• Fixed PHP 8.3 deprecation warning for implicit float-to-int conversion when processing Gravity Forms fields with sub-inputs.
• Added missing get_instance() method to the Gutenberg Blocks class.
• Fixed PHP 8.4 deprecation warnings for implicit nullable parameter types in Entry, Field, Renderer, and Template classes.
• Fixed PHP 8.5 null array offset deprecation in Table and List template files.

💻 Developer Updates

• Conflict with plugins that use Laravel/Illuminate components.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityview/delete-entry/can-delete filter to control whether a user can delete an entry.

This release improves error messaging for administrators, adds custom CSS/JavaScript placeholders for View-specific styling, and fixes Edit Entry functionality, REST API access handling, PHP 8.4 compatibility issues, and more.

✨ Improved

• Administrators now see detailed, actionable error messages when Views or entries cannot be displayed, instead of the generic "You are not allowed to view this content." message.
• Custom CSS and JavaScript settings now support placeholders that are automatically replaced with View-specific values. This makes it easy to write custom styles that apply to a single View without affecting others on the same page. Read about the new placeholders.
• The "Created By" field on the Edit Entry page now includes AJAX-powered search, making it easy to find and select users.

🐛 Fixed

• JavaScript error breaking Edit Entry functionality when forms use conditional logic on buttons.
• Unnecessary database queries running on every page load when GravityView caching was disabled, potentially causing performance issues.
• Multi-column List fields on the Edit Entry page displayed serialized array data (e.g., a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}) instead of remaining empty when revealed via conditional logic.
• REST API requests for single entries now properly respect View settings like "Prevent Direct Access" and REST API restrictions.
• PHP 8.4 implicit nullable parameter deprecation warnings.
• Name field now respects hidden input settings configured in Gravity Forms (e.g., hiding Prefix, Middle Name or Suffix).
• Some hooks were not removed when switching lightbox provider.
• Merge tag picker not appearing in the View editor when Yoast SEO Premium is active.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.7.1.

💻 Developer Updates

• Added gk/gravityview/custom-code/placeholders filter to modify or add custom placeholders for the Custom CSS and JavaScript settings.
• The VIEW_SELECTOR placeholder is hard-coded to .gv-container.gv-container-{view id}. If you have removed those classes by using the gravityview/render/container/class filter, the VIEW_SELECTOR placeholder will not work as expected; use the VIEW_ID placeholder instead.
• View Custom CSS and JavaScript is now output only once per View, even when the same View is embedded multiple times on a page.

- Zack with GravityView

---

Note: GravityView now requires PHP 5.3 or newer

This is a major release. Please back up your site before updating. We have tested the plugin thoroughly, but we suggest backing up your site before updating all plugins.

New functionality

• [gventry]: embed entries in a post, page or a View (learn more)
• [gvfield]: embed single field values (learn more)
• Many new Merge Tag modifiers - These enable powerful new abilities when using the Custom Content field!
• Use oEmbed with Custom Content fields - easily embed YouTube videos, Tweets (and much more) on your Custom Content field
• "Is Starred" field - display whether an entry is "Starred" in Gravity Forms or not, and star/unstar it from the front end of your site
• Added Bosnian, Iranian, and Canadian French translations, updated many others (thank you all!)

Smaller changes

• Added {gv_entry_link} Merge Tag, alias of [gv_entry_link] shortcode in {gv_entry_link:[post id]:[action]} format. This allows you to use {gv_entry_link} inside HTML tags, where you are not able to use the [gv_entry_link] shortcode.
• Default [gvlogic] comparison is now set to isnot=""; this way, you can just use [gvlogic if="{example:1}"] instead of [gvlogic if="{example:1}" isnot=""] to check if a field has a value.

Developer Updates

This release is the biggest ever for developers! Even so, we have taken great care to provide backward compatibility with GravityView 1.x. Other than increasing the minimum version of PHP to 5.3, no breaking changes were made.

• We have rewritten the plugin from the ground up. Learn all about it here.
• New REST API! Fetch GravityView details and entries using the WordPress REST API endpoint. It's disabled by default, but can be enabled or disabled globally on GravityView Settings screen, or per-View in View Settings. Learn about the endpoints.
• New gravityview() API wrapper function, now used for easy access to everything you could want
• New template structure (learn how to migrate your custom template files)
• We have gotten rid of global state; actions and filters are now passed a $context argument, a GVTemplate_Context object
• When HTML 5 is enabled in Gravity Forms, now the Search All field will use type="search"
• Countless new filters and actions! Additional documentation will be coming, both on docs.gravitykit.com as well as codex.gravitykit.com.

A special thanks to Gennady for your tireless pursuit of better code, insistence on backward compatibility, and your positive attitude. ��
