Overview
The Gravity Forms Settings panel within your WordPress admin area allows you to set various plugin-wide options. To find the settings panel, hover over “Forms” in your WordPress admin sidebar and choose “Settings.” If you do not have a Forms panel in the sidebar, you must install Gravity Forms first and ensure it has been activated via your WordPress admin Plugins settings.
