1. Overview & Key Capabilities

The Gravity Forms Reload Form Controls Add-on solves a common UX limitation in AJAX-enabled forms. By default, submitting a Gravity Form replaces the form layout with confirmation text, forcing visitors to reload the entire web page if they need to submit an additional entry. This add-on injects an intuitive reload link or automated timer directly into the confirmation area, allowing continuous submissions with zero page refreshes.

2. Prerequisites & Compatibility

Gravity Forms 2.5 or higher (tested up to 2.9+)

WordPress 6.0 or higher (fully compatible with WordPress 6.7+)

PHP 7.4 to 8.3+

Form configuration with AJAX enabled in the embed settings or shortcode

3. Step-by-Step Configuration Guide

To enable the reload control on any form, follow these simple steps:

Navigate to Forms → Forms and click to edit your desired form.

Go to Settings → Confirmations and click on your Default Confirmation (or custom confirmation).

Ensure your Confirmation Type is set to Text.

In the confirmation text editor, insert the {reload_form} merge tag where you want the reload trigger to appear.

4. Customizing Link Text & Merge Tag Syntax

By default, the merge tag generates a link with the label “Reload Form”. You can customize this label to fit any specific conversion flow by passing custom link text directly inside the merge tag:

n    
n        
// Standard default label:
n        
{reload_form}
n        
// Custom label examples:
n        
{reload_form:Submit Another Response}
n        
{reload_form:Register Another Attendee →}
n        
{reload_form:Send Another Message}
n

5. Automated Reset Timer Configuration

In addition to manual click triggers, you can set the form to automatically reload after a specified delay. This is ideal for public kiosk displays, lead intake tablets, or high-volume submission counters:

Navigate to Settings → Reload Form inside your form settings.

Toggle Enable Automatic Reload to On.

Specify the Delay Duration in seconds (e.g., 5 seconds).

Choose whether to reset the form to clean blank values or maintain default values.

6. Developer Extensibility & Custom Hooks

Developers can hook into JavaScript events fired during the reload sequence to re-bind custom analytics trackers, re-trigger scroll events, or initialize third-party libraries:

n        n        n        n        JavaScript Event Hookn    
n    
n        // Listen for form reload completion:
n        jQuery(document).on(‘gform_post_render’, function(event, form_id, current_page) {
n            console.log(‘Gravity Form ‘ + form_id + ‘ reloaded successfully on page ‘ + current_page);
n            if (typeof gtag !== ‘undefined’) {
n                gtag(‘event’, ‘form_reload’, {‘form_id’: form_id});
n            }
n        });n

7. Frequently Asked Questions

n Does this work if AJAX is disabled?n

No, the reload functionality is designed specifically for forms using AJAX confirmation replacement. Ensure ajax="true" is present in your shortcode or enabled in your page builder block.

n Can I style the reload link as a button?n

Yes! You can wrap the merge tag inside a styled div or apply custom CSS classes like .ge-reload-btn to customize padding, background color, and hover effects.
