[TUTORIAL] Using Gravity Forms for 'Contact this Listing Owner' = Any Fields You Want

I found the general "contact this listing owner" form to be too simple and it restricted my use as I wanted to provide more information to the listing owner.

I'm not going to go too far in depth with this as you should already have suffient knowledge of both Gravity Forms, Vantage and HTML.

As told by many others of this forum, I should be charging for this... However, I would like to show my support for Vantage and the hopes of having a highly complex theme in the near future.

Using Gravity Forms for 'Contact this Listing Owner':

Step 1: Create Your Form within Forms

Step 2: Take note of the Form ID (mine is 1)

Step 3: Add the Form directly to your child-theme's single-listing.php file

Instead of using the "button" and popup, I've decided to add an additional tab within my listings:



This is a bit tricky to accomplish, therefore this is the only part of this tutorial that I would charge to duplicate (Send me a PM if interested). Yes, I took computers, tablets and mobile resolutions into consideration while adding this extra tab, and it works with them all...

Step 4: Add the following code to your child-theme's functions.php file


NOTE: Make sure the correct form ID is placed at the end of gform_notification_email_


Step 5: Enjoy your new contact form, which sends emails directly to the listing owner!







You can also make the emails go directly to a specific email, instead of the listing owner's by changing the function to:

You can also still edit the forms notifications to make BCC copies sent to another email address (for monitoring or whatever you wish).
