This plugin is unsupported and no logner updated.
There are however two alternative plugins that do the same thing and more.
Alternative 1:
Gravity Forms Sticky Form
Alternative 2:
Gravity Forms data persistence-add-on-reloaded
The difference:
Data Persistence Reloaded saves the entries in the wp_options table and populates the form with that data.
Gravity Forms Sticky Form saves the data in an actual entry which makes it editable from the back end. When a submission is updated, the entry is updated thus keeping its starred and read status.

As it is I had to modify the code based on this post (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/checkbox-to-turn-on-enable-form-persistence-not-staying-checked?replies=20) to get the form persistence checkbox to even save on the form settings page. Form persistence is now not working at all with the recent updates. Anyone else +1 on this?

]]>Hi, it seems that this add on is super unsupported but thought I’d ask anyway… do you have to check the “enable data pers..” box for each field that you want to make persistent? Is there a way to get a “save” button, or let a user know that if they need to leave the page that their work will be saved? Thx.

]]>Plugin works beautifully saving pages of a multi-page form, after the user has left the page by clicking NEXT PAGE.
But if a user leaves or logs out in the middle of a page, that page’s data is not saved.
Help, please! I’d be happy to pay any developer reading this for a fix to this issue, BTW.
Best,

I tick the 2 options below on form settings but upon saving the form the ticks are removed.
Enable form persistence

]]>Your javascript has an error in the most recent version of Gravity Forms. To fix it, I made these changes to your plugin on lines 134 – 139:
//Action to inject supporting script to the form editor page
– add_action(“gform_editor_js”, “editor_script_persistency”);
+ add_action(“admin_footer”, “editor_script_persistency”);
function editor_script_persistency() {

]]>Once a partially completed form is committed to the database (in wp-options table), does it remain for a certain period of time or is it there in perpetuity cluttering up the table or are these records eventually purged after a certain amount of time?
I don’t see anything in the plugin that would remove old records. Perhaps another option which should be added to the Form Settings where the plugin is enabled would be an option to remove temporary partial records after XX days. Then, each time the plugin is hit, it can do a sweep to clean/purge records older than a certain number of days.

Does anyone know how I can view the saved information of a form before it has been submitted?

Really appreciated this plugin, super helpful.
Ran into trouble with losing data if there were errors on the page, however this post sorted it out –

I thought it would be a good idea to add it into the next version update.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-data-persistence-add-on/
]]>With the recent updates to Gravity Forms the Data Persistence plugin is now deleting the most recent previous entry (regardless of who submitted it) and replacing it with the new entry when the form is submitted.
Only deactivating the plugin solves the issue with the deleted entries, however this is not the ultimate solution.
WP version and Plugins in use:
WP 3.5.1
Gravity Forms 1.6.12
Gravity Forms Data Persistence Addon 1.0
Gravity Forms CSS Ready Class Selector 1.0.1
Gravity Forms PDF Extended 2.0.1
Is there an ETA on when this bug will be addressed?
Thanks, have a great day

]]>Hi there,
For multi-page forms, the user is not taken back to the page they were on. I believe this should be a simple fix by adding the below on the pre_populate_form() function.
GFFormDisplay::process_form($form[“id”])
See below:
add_filter(“gform_pre_render”, “pre_populate_the_form”);
function pre_populate_the_form($form) {
if ($form[‘isPersistent’]) {
$option_key = getFormOptionKeyForGF($form);
if (get_option($option_key)) {
$_POST = json_decode(get_option($option_key), true);
GFFormDisplay::process_form($form[“id”]); //
}
}
return $form;
}
Thanks!

]]>I’m having problems getting this plugin to work with Chrome. What is happening is after populating information and then either clicking the next button on mutlipage forms if there is any information missing that was required it will reload the page and show the areas that were missing, however on reload all the other data is deleted which requires the user to re-enter…. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks for your assistance.

]]>Hey! This is awesome and seems to be stirring up a storm at the Gravity Forms forums.
Just wondering, does a user need to be logged in for it to save progress?
It would be awesome if it wasn’t required as we just want visitors to fill out massive multi-page forms, which a user creation is irrelevant.
Let us know! Thanks for the great idea,

]]>So I love the idea of this plugin and have needed the exact features! Great work!!!
However, on a current project my site only has a single page form. There is a bunch of hidden fields that are automatically populated based on some hooks in the link. The problem is that this data goes away when the user leaves the page. What I am wanting to happen is for the information to populate for the information to be stored and when the user fills out the form the information is still stored in the form. I am not a technical person but think that a script can be run on the page to enable the same thing that clicking on the next page does to trigger saving the data.
Logically speaking I am wanting to do the following (On page load… save data)
Is this something that is possible to do? Thanks a million!!! ??

]]>So, you posted this here:
https://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/capture-data-on-aborted-form-submissions#post-76443
and I installed the plug in, I actually do like it but it really doesn’t do what this thread was talking about. What about having it store the data that has been submitted in the GF database as soon as the user hits the first ‘next’ button, and if they abort/don’t complete, the admin gets an email notifying them of the partial submission. Thanks!
