Greetings Rangers,
Happy New Year!
We’re almost through the first month of the new year; I’m officially a year older and have a renewed commitment to GravityRanger and taking the site and our offerings to the next level! ⛰️
I know some of you have been waiting for this first newsletter for a couple of months now, and I am happy we’re finally at a place where we can devote the time required to deliver a worthwhile weekly email.
I hope you enjoy it!
Latest from GravityRanger
We’ve had a busy month publishing new content and working behind the scenes to improve our SEO rankings. Over the last 6 months, we’ve been taking a massive hit, losing impressions and traffic.
For the first time in 6 months, our unique visitor stats are out of the red, and our impressions are no longer in a double-digit dive. I’m hopeful that the impressions will be out of the red by the end of the month.
Ok, enough with the boring stuff!
Our Latest Tutorial
Our latest tutorial was in direct response to a Gravity Forms user who asked if there was a way to use a single opt-in form on multiple landing pages that delivered a different download for each page.
For some of you advanced Ragers, this might not seem very complicated, but this was not the first time I’ve seen this request, and when I see a request more than once, I figure it’s worth publishing a tutorial.
While I have plans to expand on this tutorial using an add-on or two, I purposely made this first tutorial simple so that it could be implemented using only core functionality.

Let me introduce you to GravityHopper. This is a utility plugin that offers a ton of awesome features to make managing and building forms easier.
My favorite features:

With this feature, you’ll never wonder if that Gravity Forms add-on is being used by any of your forms.
- Field Hinting
Get the information you need about a field at a glance without having to open the field settings. It even works beautifully in compact view.
