Gravity Perks Live Preview is a WordPress plugin that provides a method for previewing forms exactly as they will appear on a live website’s frontend. It eliminates the need to create temporary posts or configure shortcodes just to check form styling. This plugin allows developers and site owners to see real-time updates to their forms within the Gravity Forms interface.
WPExclusive members get access to Live Preview as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Gravity Perks collection →
What Is Gravity Perks Live Preview?
Gravity Perks Live Preview is developed by Gravity Wiz and is an extensions plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the extensions category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for Gravity Forms power users. The plugin was recently integrated into the broader Gravity Forms Dev Tools suite to offer a more consolidated debugging experience.
It solves the frustration of constant page refreshing and manual shortcode placement during form development. The plugin is for developers who need to verify styles, conditional logic, and layout without technical overhead.
Gravity Perks Live Preview Features
The feature set is built around simplifying the quality assurance and testing phase of form building.
Frontend Precision and Formatting
Live Preview generates a direct link from the toolbar that renders the form using your site’s actual theme styles. While the default Gravity Forms preview uses a generic stylesheet, this plugin shows how padding, fonts, and colors truly interact with your design. It supports AJAX out-of-the-box, ensuring that multi-page forms and dynamic updates function correctly durante testing.
Advanced Debugging Tools
The plugin includes a toggle to show hidden fields, allowing you to verify that dynamic data or calculations are populating correctly behind the scenes. You can also unrequire required fields to skip straight to specific sections of a form without triggering validation errors. It also includes an option to disable notifications, preventing test submissions from cluttering your inbox or triggering external email sequences.
Dev Tools Integration
As part of the wider Gravity Perks ecosystem, it works with dummy data generators and payment gateways to simulate real user behavior. You can toggle multi-page forms into a single-page view to quickly scan the entire structure. These enhancements significantly reduce the time required to move from initial concept to a production-ready form.
