Gravity Forms v1.3.13 Beta 1 Released
Gravity Forms v1.3.13 Beta 1 is now ready to download and test! This release adds some exciting new features and enhancements to the plugin and we are looking forward to receiving feedback from users who want to take it for a spin.
Here is a look at what we have added under the hood:
- Import/Export Forms: One of the most widely requested features is finally here. The Export menu has now been renamed Import/Export and Gravity Forms can now import/export forms! Using a friendly XML file format you can now move forms from one site to another using the Import/Export functionality. Please note that this only applies to the form setup itself and does not carry over entries.
- HTML Block Field: Want to display an image or content in between fields? Now you can with the HTML Block. This new Standard Field allows you to position a block of free form HTML anywhere on your form just like a field.
- Conditional Form Submit: Now you can show or hide the form submit button based on user input. Found under the advanced Form Settings, this feature gives you more control over how and when your form can be submitted by only allowing it to be done when certain conditions are met.
- Revised Export Entries: The export entries functionality has been rewritten to help insure compatibility with various server configurations. The export entries functionality no longer saves the export file on the server and delivers it purely via instant download.
- HTML5 Field Option: We implemented new HTML5 field types in the last release but neglected to include a way to turn these off. Our mistake. We have added an option to the Settings page to control the output of HTML5 markup.
- Filters Filters Filters: We have implemented a handful of new filters that allow you to control various functionality such as the starting tabindex for your form or the file upload path for file upload fields. View the changelog file for more details and examples.
- Bug Fixes: We have fixed issues with the date formatting variable in notifications, a conditional logic bug involving post custom fields still storing data even when hidden, and inactive forms will no longer appear on the dashboard widget.
We will be releasing v1.3.13 via automatic upgrade once it has undergone beta testing. Own Gravity Forms and want to give it a try and help us test? Grab a copy on the downloads page!

Love the new features! I’m about to make some of it go!
Great new features guys! Downloading the beta now.
Any word on when Custom Post Types will be supported? I’d love to integrate GF with an events plugin I’m using.
Custom Post Types are planned for the next release, be it 1.3.14 or 1.4 depending on which direction we go in with the version number. We still have to work out how we are going to implement Custom Taxonomy support. Adding Custom Post Types are easy but with it we need to provide good support for Custom Taxonomies that people would use with the Custom Post Types… so we need to work out the best UI for controlling those on the Post Tag and Post Category fields. So it is coming, but it won’t be until the next feature release after 1.3.13.
I’m having a big problem with this iteration.
I’m using Conditional Logic two levels deep. From a drop-down to a checkbox to a file upload, using the correct fields.
It won’t play nice with WP3.0 so I’m reverting to the stable build. Look forward to this having been road tested properly.
Beta 1 has a known issue with Conditional Logic that is related to a bug with the Conditional Logic submit functionality that was added interfering with field level Conditional Logic. This will be corrected in Beta 2 which will be released Monday or Tuesday. Try it again then, if the issue you are experiencing is related to that particular bug then it should clear up the issue.
good news…..
is it working well with wordpress v3?
