Introduction
The Gravity Forms Block is available within the WordPress block editor and can be used to insert a form on a page or post. This article details the settings available for the Gravity Forms block once it has been inserted.
Accessing the Block Settings
Within your page or post, make sure you have the entire Gravity Forms block selected from within the page editor. Make sure that the sidebar option is active in the top right corner of the editor, and then choose the Block tab that is revealed.
This will reveal a long sidebar of settings sections which are detailed below.
List of Block Settings
The various settings panels that are made available for the Gravity Forms block are detailed below. Note that when selecting a modern-style form theme like the provided Orbital theme you will get access to additional panels of style options. Refer to this article for more information on those styling options.
