If the GF Form has the “is_active” option = False, then when it is displayed via the Shortcode [gravityform id=’…’], an empty Page is usually displayed. Such behavior may cause confusion and questions from Users. And even the owner of the Site will not always be able to immediately understand what is happening. Plugin “No Active for GravityForms” displays a normal Message that this Form is not Active. And everything immediately becomes clear. Everyone is happy. )) Futured Works with PHP 7.4 Works with Gravity Forms versions 2.3.3.4 and higher. Tested up to 2.5.7.1 You can change the appearance of the Message through CSS Styles. PRO Version Features: Separate Messages & Control for each Forms.
