Gravity Forms is a powerful form builder which you can use in your WordPress site to build custom forms and form workflows.
You can use it to create something simple such as a contact us form, or something complex, such as a multi-page form.
Gravity Forms can be used to create surveys, polls, user registration forms (create a WordPress account), newsletter sign-up forms, eCommerce forms, and so much more.
Sometimes some images need to be replaced or updated on a site. There is an option to replace an image on individual posts and pages; however, it creates another media asset instead of replacing the existing one. It can also be a long and tedious task to go through each page where the media asset is located to replace it, and an even longer process if the image is used across multiple pages.
The Enable Media Replace plugin is an excellent solution in replacing the media asset without creating a new item to store. It also allows replacing and updating links to the new item.
Managing and moving files can be challenging when using an FTP. The File Manager plugin allows managing WordPress files directly from within WordPress. It is great for uploading large files, editing code, downloading and zipping files, and moving files from one location to another.
Site owners may need a way to track changes on their site either for audit logs or version history.
The Simple History plugin tracks user activity and changes to content. It provides a small snapshot of changes from the dashboard but also allows for a more detailed log from the plugin page.
An essential part of a successful blog is commenting. Comments are expressions of opinions or reactions to content on a page. These expressions allow a community to be fostered by allowing users to interact with others. They allow for additional questions to be asked and answered.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to manage comments in WordPress.
WordPress has a few settings to configure for comment sections across the website and two settings per post. There are also two recommended plugins for disabling or deleting comments and providing a subscription system for comments.
Customizing the layout with columns is not always simple. Layouts are an essential part of the user’s experience on your site and will help retain visitors by making the experience better.
The Layout Grid Block plugin allows for creating column-based layouts within the block editor. Creating an appealing design for your content can be done with one block, and customizing is simple. Everything can be done with a few quick clicks, from adding columns to customizing how different devices view the page.
Whether managing a handful or a hundred content pages, there comes a time when we analyze the content. It is helpful to know what blocks are used either through the core or through additional plugins, where they are located, and how many of them are on the site.
Find My Blocks makes compiling all block types and their locations simple. Everything is displayed in one window and can be filtered and sorted.
Creating tables is a great way to display data on your WordPress site. With Gutenberg, there is a table block that will allow for basic tables to be inserted into the page. However, the tables are set to the page they live on and there is no option for importing CSV meaning tables can only be created manually.
The TablePress plugin eliminates these issues. This plugin is used to display tabular data on the page. It allows tables to live on the site’s backend and be embedded onto multiple pages through shortcodes. It also has an option for importing CSV files to prefill tables. These features allow for the easy creation of tables and enable the developers to hold tables in the library for future use.
There are several reasons for incorporating contact forms into your site: reduce spam emails by having a form instead of freely adding your email to the site; collect user information; generate leads by tracking site visitors and creating ways to analyze target audiences; allow users to leave a message directly from your site which keeps the user engaged; building out an email list; and keeping track of user inquiries.
The simplest solution to the points above is to use Contact Form 7 in conjunction with Flamingo. Contact Form 7 allows developers to create contact forms with ease, manage multiple forms in one place, and easily implement them into new or existing pages. Flamingo then solves the issue of keeping all the information in one spot to be easily analyzed.
Each visitor and customer who visits your site is unique. You will want to make the content dynamic and hide certain blocks for the type of screen the user is accessing your site from.
The simple solution is to use the Conditional Blocks plugin to change the visibility of certain blocks as well as determine the minimum and maximum size of the screens. While there is a premium version, it is not necessary to achieve the basic conditionals of showing blocks based on screen sizes or users logged in.
