GravityView
Setup, Customization & Debugging
Turn Gravity Forms entries into powerful, user-friendly front-end displays. GravityView unlocks the full potential of Gravity Forms by allowing you to display, edit, and manage form entries on the front end. We help you set it up, style it, and make it work exactly how your project needs it to.
Build Real Tools With GravityView
Gravity Forms is great for collecting data. But what if you want to actually do something with that data? Like create a user directory, job board, sortable database, or searchable listing? That’s exactly where GravityView comes in.
With GravityView, you can take entries submitted through Gravity Forms and display them anywhere on your site—beautifully formatted, filterable, and even editable. But like any powerful tool, it takes careful setup to work properly and efficiently.
At theWPGirls, we help solopreneurs, educators, agencies, nonprofits, and community builders use GravityView to transform form entries into functional web tools. Whether you’re building a staff directory, student dashboard, client portal, or volunteer list, we’ll help you bring it to life without struggling through documentation or layout headaches.
We start by understanding your use case. Are you displaying basic contact information, building a complex table, or showing entries conditionally based on user roles? We help plan the data structure, forms, fields, and how everything will be presented.
Once the strategy is locked in, we install and configure GravityView, including all required add-ons—like the DataTables extension for advanced sorting and filtering, the Edit Entry extension for frontend updates, or the Advanced Filter extension for more control over visibility.
We design custom views that match your layout needs—whether it’s a simple list, a table, a multi-column grid, or even a profile-style layout for logged-in users. We customize the entry display templates, configure what fields appear where, and ensure the design stays responsive and clean across all devices.
Need users to be able to update their submissions or view only their own data? We configure user-specific filters and permissions to lock it all down correctly. If you’re running a member portal, this is crucial.
Already using GravityView but the layout looks messy, or filtering doesn’t work? We fix broken shortcodes, resolve plugin conflicts, and optimize the logic behind your views to make sure data shows up properly and pages don’t bog down your site speed.
If you’re managing directories or community content, we can also help set up custom search bars, front-end sorting, and printable views. Whether it’s a public database or a private dashboard, your data will be accessible, readable, and secure.
We also help agencies and freelancers who want to offer GravityView-powered solutions to their clients. From job boards to client dashboards to business directories, we provide white-label setup and can even build reusable templates to speed up future work.
