Hey Mary.

While there’s no specific support yet for Gravity Forms, you can still use the “Custom Field” button under “Post Fields” and select the post meta fields that MasterPress use to store its content. The standard WordPress post meta is still used by MasterPress, with the field names being “field_set_name.field_name”. So if you had a field set called “custom” and a field called “description”, you’d see “custom.description” in the list of fields in Gravity Forms, which can then be submitted into. Then when you subsequently edit the field in WordPress, the data should show up in your custom (masterpress) field.

Some of the the more complex field types (like related posts etc) may not work entirely correctly but the more basic text-based fields should work okay.

I would like to bring in specific support for Gravity Forms at least, so that MasterPress could display a more tailored UI for custom fields within the form too, but it’s not a trivial addition.

Hope that helps for the moment.

Thanks.

MasterPress 1.4.1 is now available

27th May 2024

This update addresses backwards compatibility issues that were introduced in the previous update. There were some edge cases where PHP 7 had issues and it didn’t work at all on PHP 5.6. We have now changed it so that the PHP 8 compatibility changes will now only affect PHP 8 and will be more thorough… 

Plugin Requirements

MasterPress requires a minimum of WordPress version 4.9, MySQL 5.6, and PHP version 5.6.20.

We also recommend that PHP is configured to use a memory limit of 64MB per request (128MB may be required for sites with higher complexity).

This plug-in is not compatible with the WordPress.com hosted service.
