Understanding Our Gravity Forms Plugin
Our Gravity Form Plugin Features
Originally we had 2 plugins for gravity forms. A Module plugin and The Global Styler.
Note
Please note these 2 plugins are now one, as part of our Gravity Forms Plugin for Divi Theme
The Module Plugin – This is used with the builder to insert a gravity form into your page. It works in the frontend or backend Divi Builder. This tool is used to style forms one at a time. It is the most direct way to style your forms and provides the most consistent results.
The Global Styler – This is used in the Theme customiser area of WordPress. It will set a global style to your Gravity Forms. All Gravity Forms in this case will inherit the design settings. It is a good place to set your defaults.
Below is a table showing the differences between these two items.
They are both part of the one plugin for Gravity Forms with Divi Builder.
