Gravity Forms is perhaps the most popular contact form plugin for WordPress. You can build and publish your WordPress forms in just minutes.
With Gravity Forms, you can choose your fields, configure your options and easily embed forms on your WordPress site. Gravity Forms allows you to easily integrate with third party services such as PayPal, Mailchimp, and Zapier.
Gravity Forms works successfully with the PublishPress plugins. Scroll down to see examples of Gravity Forms and PublishPress together.
PublishPress Capabilities is now at version 2.4.2, and this latest release brings several useful new features.
Our goal with PublishPress Capabilities is to provide a complete user management tool for WordPress. In this release, we're moving towards that goal with several new features, including these:
More control over Gutenberg and Classic Editor.
The ability to redirect users on login and logout.
More categorization for capabilities.
The option to hide plugins on the Plugins screen.
In this guide, I'll introduce you to all those new improvements in PublishPress Capabilities.
The Pro version of PublishPress Capabilities allows you to block access to admin menu links in the Gravity Forms plugin. This is useful because Gravity Forms has limited options for controlling who can access the admin screens.

When you first install Gravity Forms, you'll see one top-level menu link, plus eight sub-menus.
After installing PublishPress Capabilities Pro, go to “Capabilities”, then “Admin Menus” in your WordPress admin area:

In the top-left corner of this screen, choose the role that you want to edit. In the image below, I'm going to restrict access for the “Editor” role. By default, Editors aren't given access to Gravity Forms, but site administrators often do they give them some access, as in this example.
Editor Role Menus
Scroll down and you can enter a red X for any menu link that you don't want users in the Editor role to access.
Click “Save Changes”.
Gravity Forms Menus Blocked
Now when an Editor logs in to your site, they will not be able to see the blocked Gravity Forms menu links.

This approach works for the core Gravity Forms plugin and can also be used for add-on plugins from the official site, or third-party sites.
Contact Form 7 is one of the most popular plugins in the WordPress world. However, it is a fairly basic plugin that lacks some key features such as access control.
We have a PublishPress customer who also uses the Gravity Forms plugin. They asked us if it was possible to create a user who can do nothing in WordPress, except for edit form entries in Gravity Forms.
Yes, this is possible, and this tutorial will show you how.
We often hear about old newspaper companies that are struggling. But there's a good chance that 2020 was a turning point for successful new journalists. If you look carefully, we're seeing many fresh, independent media projects.
The business model for these new projects is different. They are ditching corporate ownership in favor of a model that’s innovative, diverse, making money and overwhelmingly using WordPress.
