Advanced Custom Fields: Gravity Forms Add-on
30,000+ active installs · Rated 4.2/5 · Updated December 2, 2025
Small developer add-on that registers a Gravity Forms field type in Advanced Custom Fields, so editors can pick one or several active forms in a field group. Theme code then receives the form object or form ID and renders it. It suits developers building ACF-driven templates on sites that use Gravity Forms. It outputs nothing on the front end by itself, so a developer has to write the template code.
Pros
- Lightweight, with no settings page or front-end output
- Returns either the full form object or just the form ID
- Supports single or multiple form selection and an optional empty value
Cons
- Needs both ACF and Gravity Forms active
- Does not render the form; template code is required
- Only active forms are offered in the select list
