Gravity Perks Disable Entry Creation (also known as GP Disable Entry Creation) is a premium extension for Gravity Forms that lets you precisely control when form entries are saved to the WordPress database. Developed by Gravity Wiz, this add-on is part of the Gravity Perks ecosystem, a suite of over 48 extensions designed to enhance Gravity Forms capabilities.
This plugin is intended for developers and website administrators who need their forms to perform actions—such as sending notifications, confirmations, redirects, or integration feeds—without storing data from each submission. It is especially useful for login forms, webhooks, calculators, surveys, and any workflow where saving every record is unnecessary or counterproductive.
Configuration is simple: from the form settings in Gravity Forms, you can enable the option to disable entry creation individually per form. Additionally, it supports conditional logic, allowing you to define specific rules to determine when an entry should be saved and when it should not. For example, you can configure it to only record submissions from certain email domains or that meet specific field criteria.
One of the most notable features is its internal operation: instead of completely blocking entry creation, the plugin temporarily creates the entry so that all notifications, payment feeds, user registration, and other processes run normally, and then automatically deletes it along with associated files. This ensures nothing breaks in the workflow while keeping your database clean and optimized.
Key benefits include reduced database load, enhanced privacy by limiting personal data retention, and better overall site performance in high-volume submission projects. The plugin is lightweight, integrates perfectly with Gravity Forms' native conditional logic, and works alongside other Gravity Perks suite add-ons.
