Posts Are Real GF Entries

Every topic and reply lives in your Gravity Forms database — queryable, exportable, and editable like any GF entry.

Use the Forms You Already Know

Build your topic and reply forms in the Gravity Forms editor with every field type, validator, and integration you already use.

Permissions That Lock Down Right

Fail-closed Access Sets map to WordPress roles — control view, post, reply, edit-own, and moderate per forum.

Drop It In Anywhere

One shortcode renders your full forum, or use custom rewrite rules for clean URLs. Works in any WordPress theme.

Run a Real Community on Gravity Forms

GravityOps Forum turns your existing Gravity Forms stack into a complete community platform — no new database tables, no separate user system, no external service to rent. Topics, replies, permissions, subscriptions, and moderation all run on the WordPress and Gravity Forms you already trust.

How It Works

Launch Your Forum in 3 Simple Steps

1

Install

Download GravityOps Forum, install it, and activate it. Enter your license key to unlock Pro or Premium features.

2

Configure

Create a Board and Forum, then map your Gravity Forms to Topics and Replies. Set permissions and notification rules per forum.

3

Test and Launch

Drop the [gofrm_index] shortcode on a page (or enable custom rewrites). Submit a test topic and watch your forum come to life.

6 Features That Make Your Forum Fast and Native

Boards, Forums & Nested Hierarchy

Organize discussions with Boards, Forums, Topics, and Replies. Nest forums to any depth for sub-communities and topic categories.

Real Gravity Forms Posts

Topics and replies are stored as native GF entries — edit, export, filter, report, and integrate them with every Gravity Forms tool.

Fail-Closed Permissions

Access Sets govern view, post, reply, edit-own, and moderate per forum — mapped to WordPress roles. Nothing leaks by default.

Feed-Based Workflows

Process topics and replies through Gravity Forms Feeds with full conditional logic — gate, transform, and route content dynamically (Premium).

Subscriptions & Custom Notifications

Members follow forums or topics; new posts trigger custom GF notifications with rich subscriber merge tags and BCC support (Premium).

Gravity Flow Moderation

Send topics through a Gravity Flow workflow for review-before-publish. Moderate at scale with assignments, approvals, and SLAs (Premium).
