I have a site that I wanted to quickly put a form label inside the form field and then make it disappear on click. I have done this a hundred times, but it always takes a bit of effort to re-learn how to do it.
Today I discovered a WordPress plugin/addon for Gravity Forms that does exactly this with very little effort. It is called “Gravity Forms Placeholder Support Add-on“, and it works exactly as advertised!
It saved me about 30 minutes of googling and writing code (not to mention about 3 headaches from the aforementioned activity). 🙂
I hope you find this simple and effective plugin helpful in your work!
