What Is GravityView Core Plugin?
GravityView Core Plugin is developed by GravityView and is a visualization plugin for WordPress. As a Certified Gravity Forms Developer for over a decade, the team ensures deep integration with the core form builder. It belongs to the visualization category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for data management.
The plugin solves the problem of form data being trapped in the WordPress dashboard by pulling entries onto your public or private pages. It is for anyone looking to build directories, dashboards, portals, or workflows using existing form submissions.
GravityView Core Plugin Features
The core feature set is built around an intuitive drag-and-drop builder that requires no coding skills to configure.
Front-End Entry Management
GravityView allows users to see, search, and filter entries directly on your site. You can choose which fields are visible and which remain private. For specific directory usecases, you can even enable front-end editing so users can update their own submissions without accessing the backend.
Flexible Layout Options
The plugin includes multiple preset layouts, such as the Table Layout for spreadsheet-style data and the Listing Layout for profiles. You can switch between these formats easily. This flexibility makes it possible to deliver client-ready solutions faster than hiring a developer for custom code.
Advanced Filtering and Search
Configure complex rules to control which entries appear in a View. You can filter by the currently logged-in user, specific dates, or field values. This creates a personalized experience for members of your community or internal staff dashboards.
