Using the Plugin

1. Go to Forms → CF7 to GF in the WordPress admin.
2. The plugin will scan for Contact Form 7 forms in your database.

After import, the new form is created in Gravity Forms and can be edited like any other Gravity Forms form.

What Gets Imported

The plugin converts the following parts of a Contact Form 7 form into Gravity Forms when possible:

• Form title
• Form fields
• Required field settings
• Placeholder text
• Default values
• CSS classes and IDs
• File upload restrictions
• Number field min/max values
• Mail notification settings
• Success confirmation message

It also adds an imported form description noting the original Contact Form 7 form ID.

Preview Before Import

Before importing, you can preview:

• The fields that will be created in Gravity Forms
• Field labels and required settings
• Placeholder values
• Choice-based field options
• File upload restrictions
• Mail settings
• Raw Contact Form 7 form markup
• Any import warnings

This helps you confirm how the form will be converted before creating the Gravity Forms form.

Notifications and Confirmations

The plugin attempts to convert Contact Form 7 mail settings into a Gravity Forms admin notification, including:

• Recipient
• Subject
• Message body
• Reply-To
• From
• CC
• BCC

It also converts the Contact Form 7 success message into a default Gravity Forms confirmation message when available.

Quiz Field Behavior

If a Contact Form 7 form contains quiz fields:

• and the Gravity Forms Quiz Add-On is active, quiz fields are imported as native Gravity Forms quiz fields.
• and the Gravity Forms Quiz Add-On is not active, quiz fields are imported as plain text fields instead.

When this fallback happens, the plugin shows a warning so you know manual review may be needed.

Notes and Limitations

• Contact Form 7 conditional logic is not migrated
• Custom Contact Form 7 validation hooks are not migrated
• Complex formatting or behavior added by Contact Form 7 extensions may require manual review after import
• Imported forms will use Gravity Forms styling rather than any Contact Form 7-specific front-end styling
• Quiz fields require the Gravity Forms Quiz Add-On for full native quiz support

Troubleshooting

If a form does not import as expected:

• Confirm Gravity Forms is installed and active
• Check that Contact Form 7 forms exist in your database
• Preview the form before import to inspect warnings and mapped field details
• Review the imported form in Gravity Forms and make any manual adjustments needed
• If quiz fields were imported as text fields, install and activate the Gravity Forms Quiz Add-On and re-import if needed
