GravityOps Live Field Validation: Real-time validation for Gravity Forms

Validate your Gravity Forms fields as users type them, using the same rules your form runs at submission. Pick which fields to validate live from a per-form settings tab. Session state persists across multi-page forms, so users never lose their place — all without third-party platforms or per-user fees.

Real-Time, Not On Submit

Users see field errors as they finish each field, not after clicking Submit. Fewer abandoned forms and cleaner data on the first try.

Same Rules, Just Faster

Live validation uses Gravity Forms’ exact submission pipeline — custom filters, no-duplicates checks, everything. No divergence between what users see live and what happens at submit.

You Choose Which Fields

Turn live validation on per form, then pick specific fields with a checkbox. Required and Optional fields get labeled distinctly.

Multi-Page Aware

Session state carries validation across pages and page reloads. Progressive form completion works without losing user progress.

Real-Time Validation for Every Gravity Forms Field

GravityOps Live Field Validation runs your form’s exact validation logic at type-time, so users see errors while they’re focused on the field — not after they’ve submitted and moved on. Enable it per form, pick which fields validate live, and let Gravity Forms’ full validation pipeline do the wordPress and Gravity Forms you already trust.

How It Works

6 Features That Make Your Forms Validate Live

Real-Time AJAX Field Validation

The moment a user finishes typing a field, the plugin validates it against your Gravity Forms rules and shows the result inline. No form submission required.

Uses Gravity Forms’ Full Validation Logic

Not a subset — the exact validation pipeline that runs at submission. Custom `gform_field_validation` filters run. No-duplicates checks run. Everything you’d expect at submit runs at type-time.

Per-Field Selection with Required/Optional Labels

Choose exactly which fields validate live via checkboxes on each form. Required and Optional fields are labeled distinctly so you always know which are gated.

Multi-Page Form Support with Session State

Session state carries validation across pages. If a user validates page 1, refreshes, and returns, the state is preserved and progress isn’t lost.

GF Populate Anything Integration

If you use GP Populate Anything, live validation picks up dynamically-populated values and validates them correctly. Pre-filled, hidden, and calculated fields all handled.

JavaScript Event Hook for Extensibility

Fire the `gravityops_lgfv_field_validated` event on any validated field for custom UI behavior — animate a checkmark, update a progress bar, do whatever your form needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you want your Gravity Forms fields to validate as users type them — using the same rules your form runs at submit — GravityOps Live Field Validation is built for you. Got questions? You may find the answers here.

Yes, on any field type that Gravity Forms itself can validate. The plugin uses GFAPI::validate_field, so if GF can validate it at submit, this validates it live. Field types with no server-side validation (pure display fields) are automatically skipped.

Yes. It’s built as a Gravity Forms add-on and supports core GF features (conditional logic, merge tags, etc.).

Yes. Your existing gform_field_validation filters, conditional logic, and no-duplicates rules run while the user types, exactly as they do at submit. Nothing to rewrite or reconfigure.

No! The plugin is built to work without coding needed.

Gravity Forms. Live Field Validation comes on the Premium and Agency plans.

Yes. Every paid plan has a 14-day free trial, and you don’t need a card to start it.

Why Choose

Why It’s Better

Gravity Forms already validates every field at submit. GravityOps Live Field Validation moves that validation to type-time — the exact same rules, running the exact same code, just earlier. Users see errors while they’re focused on the field, not after they’ve moved on and forgotten what they typed. Cleaner submissions, fewer support tickets, better conversion.
