Getting started

Quick start

Install Gravity Tables, create your first table, and place a shortcode in under five minutes.

Gravity Tables ships your first interactive table in five minutes. This guide is the fastest path from “downloaded” to “live on a page”.

Prerequisites#

  • WordPress 5.0+
  • PHP 8.0+
  • An active Gravity Forms install (any tier)

1. Install and activate#

From your WordPress admin:

  1. Plugins → Add New
  2. Search for “Advanced Data Tables for Gravity Forms”
  3. Click Install, then Activate

Or upload the .zip from your Pro account:

  1. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  2. Select the .zip
  3. Activate

After activation, a new top-level menu appears: Tables.

2. Build your first table#

  1. Tables → Add New
  2. Pick the Gravity Form your table will read from
  3. Choose which fields appear as columns (drag to reorder)
  4. Save

By default the table:

  • Shows all visible entries
  • Renders as a striped table with sortable headers
  • Falls back to a card layout below 480px

3. Place the shortcode#

Each saved table has a unique ID. The shortcode looks like:

[gravity_table id="42"]

Drop that in any WordPress page, post, or widget area. The table renders in place.

4. Activate the trial (optional)#

If you want Pro features (frontend editing, bulk operations, advanced filters, exports), start the 10-day free trial:

  1. Tables → Licence
  2. Click Start free trial
  3. Sign in with your email

After activation you’re back in the table builder with full Pro feature toggles enabled.
