Using the Gravity Forms plugin, a site administrator can create and use a web-based form to collect information from site visitors.
In this document:
While the WiscWeb service does allow the use of Gravity Forms within its sites, there are three important pieces of information to be aware of when using the plugin.
Please be aware that the Gravity Forms plugin can be activated by Administrators using the instructions in WiscWeb - WordPress UW Theme - Self Service Plugin Activation / Deactivation. Also know that only site administrators can have access to creating and editing forms within your site.
While the WiscWeb team is more than happy to assist with general guidance on how to use the Gravity Forms plugin as well as best practices, it is difficulty to continue to update our own documentation regarding the plugin. We recommend using the documentation found on the Vendor website.
Embedding a form within a page or post in your site is a two-step process that requires you copy the embed shortcode and then paste it into the appropriate location.
The "From Email" field for all Gravity Forms in WiscWeb will need to be set to "noreply@email.wiscweb.wisc.edu". More information on this change can be found at WiscWeb - WordPress UW Theme - Required "From Email" Settings for Gravity Forms.
