This plugin enhances Gravity Forms by providing the ability to export individual form entries as a <code>.json</code> file directly from the entries list. It allows you to define a custom JSON structure using a template editor within each form’s settings, where you can insert Gravity Forms merge tags and even utilize conditional logic shortcodes. A live preview feature helps you validate your JSON template before export.
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to Forms > Forms, then select ‘Settings’ for the desired form.</li>
<li>Click on the ‘JSON Export’ tab.</li>
<li>Enable JSON Export Link: Check the box to display the “Download JSON Export” link on individual entry pages for this form.</li>
<li>Custom JSON Output Template: Enter your desired JSON structure in the textarea.
<ul>
<li>Use standard Gravity Forms merge tags (e.g., <code>{field_id}</code>, <code>{entry_id}</code>, <code>{date_created:format:Y-m-d}</code>).</li>
<li>Merge tags will be automatically formatted as <code>"key":"{merge_tag}"</code> when inserted from the dropdown.</li>
<li>You can also use Gravity Forms conditional shortcodes (e.g., <code>[gravityforms action='conditional' merge_tag='{Name (First):1.3}' condition='isnot' value='Philip']"custom_field":"conditional_value"[/gravityforms]</code>) to include dynamic content.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Preview JSON Export: Click the ‘Preview JSON Export’ button to see a live preview of your generated JSON based on the latest entry for that form. This helps in validating your template.</li>
<li>Save Settings: Click ‘Save Settings’ to apply your changes.</li>
<li>To export an entry, go to Forms > Entries, hover over an entry, and click the ‘Download JSON Export’ link.</li>
</ol>

Does one thing: Completely disables the WordPress REST API for visitors who are not logged into WordPress. No configuration required.
Important: This plugin completely disables the WP REST API for visitors who are NOT logged in to WordPress. So not recommended if your site needs the WP REST API for any non-logged users.
👉 The fast, simple way to prevent abuse of your site’s REST/JSON API 
👉 Protects your site’s REST data from all non-logged users and bots 
👉 Uses only 4KB of code, so super lightweight, fast, and effective
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Disable REST/JSON for visitors (not logged in)</li>
<li>Disables REST header in HTTP response for all users</li>
<li>Disables REST links in HTML head for all users</li>
<li>100% plug-and-play, set-it-and-forget solution</li>
</ul>
How does it work?
This plugin completely disables the WP REST API unless the user is logged into WordPress.
<ul>
<li>For logged-in users, WP REST API works normally</li>
<li>For logged-out users, WP REST API is disabled</li>
</ul>
What happens if logged-out visitor makes a JSON/REST request? They will get only a simple message:
<pre><code>rest_login_required: REST API restricted to authenticated users.
</code></pre>
This message may customized via the filter hook, <code>disable_wp_rest_api_error</code>. Check out <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-entirely-for-non-techies/#post-12014965" rel="ugc">this post</a> for an example of how to do it.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin does not collect or store any user data. It does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. Thus, this plugin does not affect user privacy in any way. If anything it improves user privacy, as it protects potentially sensitive information from being displayed/accessed via REST API.
