A few days ago, the highly anticipated GravityForms plugin launched to the public with much fanfare. However, many people voiced their concern that there was no way to try before you buy which put off a lot of folks from buying it. Thankfully, the RocketGenius team is a responseful bunch as they have launched a specific DEMO site where you can login to the backend to see the plugin in action, create new forms and see how it all comes together.
One word of note though is that some of the settings for the plugin have been disabled such as saving new forms, deleting forms, etc. However, you should be able to get a good feel on whether the plugin will fit the bill or not.

GravityForms which takes form generation to the next level in WordPress has finally been launched to the public. I’ve been playing around with the plugin since I joined the beta test program in late June. Since then, the RocketGenius team has worked extensively to improve the plugin for the masses. For those that don’t know, GravityForms is like a WYSIWYG editor for creating forms. For an expansive look as to what this plugin is capable of, I suggest taking some time to watch my screencast review which is about 11 minutes long.
Without a shadow of a doubt, I can fully recommend this plugin to anyone who is looking for an intuitive, easy way to create and manage forms on their WordPress powered site. The plugin is also licensed under the GPL which makes it that much better. If you’re looking for even more information regarding this plugin, I highly recommend listening to episode 4 of the Press This podcast where Joost De Valk interviews Carl Hancock, lead developer of the GravityForms plugin.
I’ve never signed up or participated in anyone’s affiliate program before, but GravityForms has become the first. So with that said, the following link is my affiliate code which will drop back 20% of your purchase to me. If you do purchase the plugin through me, thank you for your continued support of WPTavern.com. By the way, not sure how much longer this coupon code will remain active but if you use GFORMS20 it will take off 20% of your order.

So I finally got around to doing a preview video of GravityForms, the much talked about form generation plugin aimed for release sometime this month. However, I learned that there is so much to this plugin that it doesn’t lend itself very well to the screencasting format. While my screencast is about 11-12 minutes long, it doesn’t even cover everything this plugin can do. While producing the screencast, I learned a thing or two about Camtasia such as adding transitions and how to edit the audio. I’m getting better but these things get tougher the longer they are. Also, I have no idea why but the video on Viddler for some reason can not be seeked. When you fast forward or rewind, it resets back to the beginning which is very annoying. I tried two different production methods in Camtasia but both produced the same results on Viddler. That is why I recommend you to download the source file which is in .MP4 format and view it in QuickTime or your favorite MP4 player.
*NOTE*
The video can now be seeked either through fast forward or rewinding without being reset to the beginning.
