Brand new release: Gravity Forms 2.9.16

By Gravity Forms Published August 27, 2025

We are pleased to announce the release of Gravity Forms 2.9.16. This release includes a number of additions, updates, and fixes including…

• Added settings to the Radio and Checkbox fields to replace the list column Ready Classes.
• Added sanitization to the enableEnhancedUI property in GF_Field_Select to be consistent with GF_Field_Multiselect.
• Updated the [gform_filter_links_entry_list](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_filter_links_entry_list/) filter, so the entry counts are passed as the 4th param.

New setting to display choices in columns

New in version 2.9.16, you’ll find a brand new setting for the Checkboxes and Radio Button fields which allows you to control how choices are displayed – either horizontally (left to right) or vertically (top to bottom) using native options rather than custom CSS classes.

To set it up, after adding a Checkbox or Radio Button field:

1. Open Field Settings.
2. Scroll to the Appearance tab.
3. Check Display in columns.
4. Select your desired column configuration (number of columns and column sort direction).

To learn more about the configuration options, visit the Gravity Forms documentation.

Note: Gravity Forms will move away from CSS Ready Classes, and support for all legacy markup will be removed, in version 3.1. You can find out more about migrating your forms from ready classes in our documentation.
