Plugin doesn't work with PHP called gravity_form() function

Noticed a little issue with this plugin.

I recently had to remove the gravity forms shortcode form a page and build a template which dynamically called the PHP gravity_form() function, inserting dynamic data using the function.

The plugin seems to check the post_content for the GF shortcode in function check_for_shortcode( $posts ), however, the GF PHP function doesn’t add the shortcode the the post_content, so the plugin never fires as the preg_match_all returns nothing.

To recap, I have an empty page content in the WP editor but my page template calls the GF PHP function directly. e.g.

<div class="entry-content">
			<?php the_content(); ?>
            <?php
            // Output the Gravity Form
            echo gravity_form( 5, $display_title = false, $display_description = false );
            ?>
            <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentytwelve' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->

You may have to hook into one of the GF hooks. I believe the JavaScript gform_post_render() function would work nicely.

Perhaps you can enqueue it after the page loads on the “wp” action hook and check there?

Cheerz,
