What Is Gravity Perks Limit Dates?
Gravity Perks Limit Dates is developed by Gravity Wiz and is a forms extension plugin for WordPress. It provides a visual interface within the form builder to manage date ranges without writing custom JavaScript. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for advanced data collection.
The plugin solves the problem of users selecting invalid dates, such as past dates for future appointments or weekends for weekday-only services. It is designed for developers and site owners who need to enforce business logic directly within their date pickers.
Gravity Perks Limit Dates Features
The feature set is built around providing developers with total control over the datepicker calendar behavior.
Minimum and Maximum Date Ranges
Set fixed start and end dates or dynamic limits based on the current day. Limit Dates supports specific date inputs or relative settings like “Current Date” to prevent users from selecting days that have already passed. This ensures that every submission fits within your allowed timeframe, such as a fiscal year or a specific event duration.
Linked Date Fields
Create dependency between two date fields where the selection in the first field dictates the limits of the second. This is ideal for booking systems where an “End Date” cannot occur before the “Start Date.” The plugin automatically adjusts the second picker’s minimum date as soon as the user selects a value in the primary field.
Days of the Week and Exceptions
Disable specific days of the week, such as Saturdays and Sundays, with a single click. If you have unique holiday closures or one-off availability, the Exceptions tool allows you to manually block or enable specific dates regardless of your general rules. This level of forms customization prevents scheduling conflicts before the form is even submitted.
Date Modifiers and Timezone Support
Apply modifiers to limits, such as requiring a selection to be at least “current date +3 days” to allow for lead time. Limit Dates also respects the WordPress timezone configuration, ensuring that “today” correctly aligns with your server time rather than the user’s local clock. This prevents late-night submissions from bypassing same-day cutoff rules.

Use Cases
Restaurant and Service Bookings
Restrict reservations to business hours and specific operating days only. By using the forms extension to block weekends or holidays, you prevent customers from booking slots when your staff is unavailable.
Equipment Rentals and Check-Outs
Link the return date field to the pickup date field to ensure customers cannot select a return date that precedes the pickup. You can also add a modifier to require a minimum 24-hour rental period.
Insurance and Incident Reporting
Force users to select only past or current dates for incident reports. This prevents the submission of future-dated claims which would be logically impossible and clutter your database with invalid entries.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Using WPExclusive allows agencies to deploy advanced form logic across dozens of client sites without ballooning project costs. One membership provides the specific perk needed for each unique form requirement.
