GravityView (GravityKit)

GravityView renders Gravity Forms entries as searchable, sortable, filterable front-end Views without custom query code. Part of the GravityKit product suite alongside GravityActions and GravityBoard.

When to use

• Displaying Gravity Forms entries on the front-end (staff directories, portfolios, listings)
• Building searchable/filterable entry displays
• Setting up entry approval workflows
• Creating edit-entry forms for front-end user editing
• Restricting views by role or entry ownership
• Building admin workflows with automated classification

Procedure

1) Install

GravityView is a premium plugin. Download from your GravityKit account and install:

wp plugin install gravityview.zip --activate
wp plugin install gravityview-datatables.zip --activate  # optional table layout

Or via SatisPress/Composer:

"satispress/gravityview": "*"

2) Create a View

1. Views → New View
2. Select the Gravity Form to pull entries from
3. Choose a layout (Table, List, DataTables, Map)
4. Add fields to the Multiple Entries layout (directory view)
5. Add fields to the Single Entry layout (detail page)
6. Configure View Settings (sorting, pagination, entry ownership)

3) Restrict by ownership and role

View Settings → Show only entries created by the current user: ✓
View Settings → Required Capability: gravityview_view_entries

// Prevent metadata exposure in public views
add_filter('gravityview/fields/custom/content_after', function($content, $field) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in() && in_array($field->ID, ['internal_notes', 'api_key'])) {
        return '—';
    }
    return $content;
}, 10, 2);

4) Entry approval workflow

1. Add Approval field to your View layout
2. Configure: View Settings → Approval Status → Approved only
3. Gravity Connect can auto-classify submissions:

Gravity Connect Feed → classify "Flagged" →
GravityView filter: {Approval Status} = Flagged →
Admin-only view for review

5) Edit entry (front-end editing)

1. Views → Edit → add fields to Edit Entry layout
2. Embed with shortcode: [gravityview id="1" context="edit"]
3. Set capability: View Settings → User Edit → "Own entries only"

6) Shortcodes

[gravityview id="1"]                         # basic view
[gravityview id="1" page_size="20"]          # paginated
[gravityview id="1" search_field="2"]        # pre-filtered by field 2
[gravityview id="1" context="single" entry_id="42"]  # single entry

7) MCP prototyping

Feed your GravityView structure to an LLM to generate custom layout HTML:

// Export view field config for LLM context
$view_fields = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_gravityview_directory_fields', true);
echo json_encode($view_fields, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Security

• Always apply entry ownership restrictions on public-facing Views
• Never expose sensitive field IDs in public shortcodes
• Use Roles and Capabilities settings to gate admin-only views
• See wp-gravity-stack → references/security.md for the full audit script
