This is a simple way for displaying Gravity Forms Entry Counter with a Shortcode. It extends Gravity Forms shortcode by providing a custom action and retrieving the total Gravity Forms entry count for a specific form ID.

This is what you need to do to activate Gravity Forms Entry Counter:

  1. Install the Gravity Forms
  • If you don’t have a Gravity Forms installed, you can buy it here.

2. Paste this code snippet

  • Paste this entire snippet at the end of your themes functions.php file.

3. Use the Shortcode on page

  • To display the simple Gravity Forms Entry Counter, use the basic shortcode. Simply add your form ID and the shortcode will return total Gravity Forms entry count.
  • You can modify the shortcode to display Gravity Forms count by status and you can set the format. Statuses are: total, unread, starred, trash, spam; and formats should be comma or decimal
add_filter( 'gform_shortcode_counter', 'wpbrainery_counter_shortcode', 10, 2 );
function wpbrainery_counter_shortcode( $output, $atts ) {

    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'id' => false,
        'status' => 'total',
        'format' => false
    ), $atts ) );

    $valid_statuses = array( 'total', 'unread', 'starred', 'trash', 'spam' );

    if( ! $id || ! in_array( $status, $valid_statuses ) ) {
        return current_user_can( 'update_core' ) ? __( 'Invalid form ID or form status parameter.' ) : '';
    }

    $counts = GFFormsModel::get_form_counts( $id );
    $output = rgar( $counts, $status );

    if( $format ) {
        $format = $format == 'decimal' ? '.' : ',';
        $output = number_format( $output, 0, false, $format );
    }

    return '<div class="gcounter">You asked for our help <span class="counter_number">' .$output. '</span>' . ' times.</div>';
}

And a little bit of CSS:

.gcounter {
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 24px;
}
.counter_number {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #3a589e;
}

You can paste the CSS code to your themes custom CSS editor.

    This shortcode didn’t work for me. I added the code to the functions.php of my child theme. It only returns [gravityforms action=“counter” id=“31”] displayed on the page
