What it does
When you display form submissions with GravityView, every entry usually looks the same. That works for a plain directory, but it makes it hard to point visitors toward the submissions that matter most, such as a strong testimonial or an urgent notice. This extension adds a simple way to flag individual entries as featured. Once flagged, they are styled differently from the rest, and you can choose to move them to the top of a View so they appear before regular entries.
The extension works inside your existing GravityView setup, so there is no coding involved. You pick entries through the interface, mark as many as you like, and control how they look on the page. It supports the different View layouts, including lists and tables, and it also connects with the Recent Entries widget, which has an option to show only featured entries. It suits businesses, nonprofits, educators and anyone who publishes Gravity Forms data on the front end.
Best for
- Sites displaying testimonials collected through Gravity Forms
- Nonprofits and educators recognizing top contributors
- GravityView directories that need pinned announcements
