Gravity Forms Branding
White Label has a set of features to help you directly change Gravity Forms branding throughout the WordPress admin.
Hide the Gravity Forms Logo
The easiest way to white label Gravity Forms is to hide its logo throughout the admin. The Gravity Forms logo appears throughout various screens. Most obviously, in a header at the top of each screen in the plugin. You can easily hide the Gravity Forms logo with a click of a checkbox in White Label.
Replace the Gravity Forms Name
In addition to the logo, White Label lets you modify the name of Gravity Forms as it appears on various screens and interface panels. You can change the plural (Gravity Forms) and singular (Gravity Form) appearances of the name by setting your own values.
Gravity Forms Templates
Creating a new form with the Gravity Forms plugin begins with a template popup. This popup is incredibly handy, but it does contain a feature that some people looking to white label Gravity forms might want to remove.
Gravity Forms templates come with a Preview button that links to an external site maintained by the developers of Gravity Forms. In order to white label the plugin, you might want to remove that link from each template. You can do so by checking the box next to Hide Preview Button in White Label’s settings for Gravity Forms.
Gravity Forms Settings
Gravity Forms comes with a comprehensive settings screen. These panels contain branding for Gravity Forms, of course, but also some features you might not want clients to access. Thankfully, White Label can hide the features for you.
Hide Gravity Forms Settings Panels
The Gravity Forms Settings screen has individual panels for each part of the plugin you can adjust. White Label has an easy-to-use table, with checkbox, you can use to hide these panels. Simply check the box next to whichever panel you don’t want your clients to see.
Hide Gravity Forms Setting Panel Links
Some of the panels on the Gravity Forms settings screen contain links to external sites. You can hide those links completely by checking the box next to the Hide Links setting in White Label.
Gravity Forms Add-Ons
There is an entire section of the Gravity Forms plugin devoted to first-party and third-party add-ons. These add-ons add functionality to Gravity Forms not provided in the base plugin. Of course, most WordPress developers and agencies want to limit their clients’ access to these kinds of add-ons. White Label includes a feature to help you easily disable access to Gravity Forms add-ons.
The list of official add-ons includes an install button. You can hide this install button, to prevent clients from activating an add-on without you knowing, by checking the corresponding box in White Label.
The certified add-ons list, in the Gravity Forms plugin, includes download links to each third-party developer’s website. Check the box in White Label’s settings too prevent clients from seeing those links.
