Can you use gravity forms outside of WordPress?

Overview

Gravity Forms is a WordPress plugin and requires WordPress to function. It is not possible to install or run Gravity Forms on a non-WordPress website.

Gravity Forms relies on WordPress core architecture, including its database structure, user authentication system, and built-in functions and hooks. These dependencies mean that Gravity Forms cannot operate independently of a WordPress installation.

If you need to display a Gravity Forms form on a non-WordPress page, one approach is to create a minimal WordPress page template containing only the form, then embed that page on an external site using an iframe. The form itself still resides on and is processed by your WordPress installation. This approach is not officially supported and may require custom development work.
