How to disable the Gravity Forms Template Library

  |  by Chris Eggleston

Problem

Since the release of Gravity Forms version 2.7, a new feature—the template library—has been added, which was highly requested.

This new template library offers fifteen or so different pre-built form templates for building new forms.

While this was a great addition, I have seen some users who were not as thrilled with this new feature and requested a way to disable it, and Gravity Forms delivered!

Solution

In Gravity Forms version 2.8.9, a new filter, gform_bypass_template_library, was added to bypass the template library when creating new forms.

The needed code snippet is available in the doc linked above and the code can be used in the functions.php file of the active theme or with a code snippets plugin.

When the filter is used, instead of seeing the templates, you will be presented with the popup to create a blank form.

This filter can also be used to display the template library for only one user, but bypass it for other users. Details are in the doc linked above!
