Gravity Forms Independence

Status: In progress (independence bridge built) Project: Website

What this is

A push to reduce the site's dependency on Gravity Forms as the sole form system. Gravity Forms had been doing too much — submission handling, spam filtering, Litify push, email notifications, CSS styling — and was coupled tightly enough that any GF issue became a sitewide intake issue.

Work

  • Gravity Forms Styling Deploy + WP Rocket CSS Bypass + Bloat Fix (April 3) — styling deployment that included bypassing WP Rocket's CSS optimization on form pages (because it was breaking the forms) and a bloat fix for unused GF assets
  • Gravity Forms Independence Bridge (April 11) — a bridge layer that lets new form systems (like the Custom Intake) run in parallel with Gravity Forms without either one owning the whole pipeline

Where this is headed

The longer-term direction is that Custom Intake Rollout takes over intake forms, Gravity Forms continues handling contact form edge cases, and the independence bridge makes it safe to migrate one form type at a time.
