Image Hopper 2.14: Better Integration and Performance with Gravity Forms

We’re excited to announce Image Hopper 2.14! This update delivers a fresh look thanks to Orbital Theme support added to Image Hopper fields in the Form Editor. That’ll creates a more cohesive editing experience when building Gravity Forms with Image Hopper included. Under the hood, Gravity Forms 2.9 saw the form submission process get revamped, making it more consistent with the various ways entries can be created. Image Hopper now fully-supports this new process/ workflow, and has been updated to accommodate the improvements.

Being a front-end feature, it’s important Image Hopper is performant for end-users. That’s why we are always looking at how we can boost performance. In this update Image Hopper fields will only be loaded as they become visible on the screen, and less processing is done by the plugin when navigating a multi-page form.

Last but certainly not least, this update fixes a number of important validation bugs that were introduced in a recent Gravity Forms update. We’ve since followed up with version 2.14.1, which addresses another handful of bugs. See the full changelog below for details.

As always, we recommend updating Image Hopper to the latest version for the best experience.
