So on the podcast today we have Joshua Vandercar from Gravity Hopper which is a plug that allows you to have a central dashboard for all your Gravity Forms. Joshua is employed by Rocket Genius, the developers of Gravity Forms, so he knows a thing or two about how it all works!

The idea is that you create a standalone install of WordPress is put the Gravity Hopper plugin on there and from that moment on you have a central dashboard from which you can handle all of your forms on all of your websites.

I think that the best way to think about this is as a time saver plugin. If you’re working with WordPress and deploy Gravity Forms on your sites, then it’s likely that you end up creating similar forms over and over again.

With Gravity Hopper you can squirrel those forms away and deploy them with just a few clicks on other sites. In fact the magic goes a little further than that, because it might be that you only want to deploy a collection of commonly used fields and not entire forms? That’s possible too, and so are field groups, sections and so on.

You can also make this work with Multisite, and so if that’s your bag, imagine how much time this might save you. Every time a new site is added to your network, you can hop in (see what I did there?) and set up the form that your networked site users typically want.

It will all start syncing back to the mothership so that you can stop worrying about yet another aspect of your WordPress website business.

There’s some other cool features in the plugin as well, such as the ‘Form Integrity’ checker which will make sure that you are unable to deploy a form unless all-the-things will work properly. In other words, if you combine some saved sections which have some conditional logic, which is missing, it’ll tell you about that so that the form can be updated and not deployed, all broken, to a live site. That’s nice right?

There’s also notes that you can add to fields so that you are able to keep track of the purpose of form fields, you can organise your growing collection of forms in to folders so that you know exactly where you’ve stored them and there’s save often repeated form exports so that it only exports that forms that you previous selected. More nice! Oh, and did we mention keyboard shortcuts?

So check out the podcast today and see if Gravity Hopper can help you save time and effort with your Gravity Forms.
