Merge Tag for Gravity View Edit Entry link

GOAL

Create a custom merge tag that outputs a secure GravityView Edit Entry link for the current entry when displayed inside a GravityView context.

The snippet registers the merge tags:

{gview_edit_entry_link}
{gview_edit_entry_link:Link Text}

These tags generate an edit link to the current entry within the active GravityView.

WHAT IT DOES

  • Generates a GravityView Edit Entry link for the current entry.

  • Uses the current View ID automatically (no configuration required).

  • Ensures the link is only displayed if the current user has permission to edit the entry.

  • Supports custom link text.

Customizing the Link Text

You can customize the text displayed in the edit link by adding text after the merge tag using a colon.

Syntax

{gview_edit_entry_link:Your Link Text}

Example

{gview_edit_entry_link:Update your submission}

Default Behavior

If no link text is provided, the merge tag will automatically use: Edit Entry

WHERE IT WORKS

The merge tag works in any content processed through Gravity Forms merge tags, including:

  • GravityView Custom Content fields

  • Gravity Forms confirmations

  • Gravity Forms notifications

  • Any text processed through gform_replace_merge_tags
