What Is Gravity Perks Disable Entry Creation?
Gravity Perks Disable Entry Creation is developed by Gravity Wiz and is a forms extension plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for Gravity Forms users. The plugin is designed for site owners who need to process form data through notifications or feeds but don’t want to keep a local database record.
Gravity Forms must create an entry in order to function properly, so this plugin deletes the entry immediately after the submission process finishes. It is ideal for high-privacy environments like healthcare, legal, or GDPR-compliant sites where data retention must be minimized.
Gravity Perks Disable Entry Creation Features
The feature set is built around automated data cleanup and conditional control over entry storage.
Automated Entry and File Deletion
Disable Entry Creation removes the entry and any associated files after feeds have been processed. If your form includes a User Registration feed, the plugin waits until the user has been activated, created, or updated before triggering the deletion. This ensures that essential processes are not interrupted while keeping your database clean and reducing server storage requirements for forms with heavy file uploads.
Conditional Logic Integration
You can use standard Gravity Forms conditional logic to determine exactly when an entry should be deleted. This allows you to selectively retain some entries while discarding others based on user input or specific field values. This granular control makes the plugin versatile for complex workflows where only certain types of submissions require permanent storage.
GDPR Compliance and Security
The plugin assists with GDPR compliance by removing all personal data from entries after processing is complete. It integrates directly into the existing Gravity Forms UI with a single-click activation setting. This seamless integration ensures that you can manage data privacy settings without leaving the standard form editor environment.

⚠️ Limitations
- Cannot be used on child forms embedded via a field, though parent forms work correctly
