One-question choice pages
Best for radio-button or dropdown questions where the next page should load as soon as a visitor chooses an answer.

Setup guidance, recommended Gravity Forms patterns, plan differences, and troubleshooting for building faster multi-page forms.
01
Quick start
Use this path when you are setting up the plugin for the first time or rebuilding an existing long form.
- Install and activate Gravity Forms.
- Install Multi Page Auto Advance from WordPress.org or upload the paid version from your account.
- Create a Gravity Forms multi-page form and add page breaks between each step.
- Use one primary question on pages where you want the form to move immediately after an answer.
- Enable auto-advance behavior for the field types supported by your plan.
- For typed fields or checkboxes in Plus, set the number of characters or selections required before auto-advance.
- Test the full flow on desktop and mobile before sending traffic to the form.
Best first test:
Create a short three-page form with one radio-button question per page. Confirm each answer advances to the next page before applying the same pattern to a production form.
02
Field and plan guidance
Start with the narrowest plan that fits your form. Upgrade when the form needs hidden navigation, conditional paths, or broader field support.
Plan
Use it for
Best fit
Free
Radio buttons and dropdown/select fields on simple multi-page forms.
Testing the core auto-advance behavior.
Pro
Products, quizzes, polls, surveys, hidden navigation buttons, conditional logic handling, transition animations, and step colors.
Lead forms, quote requests, quizzes, polls, and higher-value multi-step forms.
Plus
Text, textarea, checkbox, number, and address auto-advance, plus upgraded conversational form functionality and unlimited-site agency usage.
Client sites, intake systems, conversational funnels, and advanced form workflows.
03
Recommended form patterns
Auto-advance works best when the page has one obvious answer and the next step is not surprising.
Lead qualification
Use auto-advance on budget, timeline, service, location, or fit questions so prospects move through the form quickly.
Quizzes and assessments
Keep each question focused, use progress indicators, and reserve manual navigation for review or open-ended responses.
Client intake
Split long intake forms into short steps, auto-advance simple choices, and keep complex detail pages manual.
Quote requests
Pair conditional logic with auto-advance so visitors skip irrelevant pages and reach the right quote path faster.
Conversational forms
Use the Plus workflow when the form is designed to feel like a guided conversation rather than a traditional form.
04
Configuration checklist
Use these checks before pushing a form live, especially when paid traffic or high-value leads depend on it.
Page design
Use page breaks, keep auto-advance pages short, and place explanation text before the field so the selection can immediately move the visitor forward.
Field selection
Use auto-advance on supported fields where one answer is enough. Keep manual navigation on pages with uploads, signatures, or review steps.
Navigation buttons
Hide buttons when a page is intentionally one-answer-at-a-time. Leave Back available when visitors may need to correct a previous choice.
Progress bar
Turn on a Gravity Forms progress indicator for longer flows so visitors understand how much work remains.
Conditional logic
Build and test the Gravity Forms logic first. Auto-advance should wait when the answer reveals another required field on the same page, then continue when the path is clear.
Mobile testing
Run the full form on a phone, check scroll position after each advance, and confirm the next question is visible without confusion.
05
Troubleshooting
Most problems come from unsupported field types, conditional logic rules, cache scripts, or pages that contain too many fields for auto-advance.
The form does not advance after a selection.
Confirm the form uses Gravity Forms page breaks, the field type is supported by your plan, and the plugin is active on the site.
Conditional logic sends visitors to the wrong place.
Test the same form with auto-advance temporarily disabled. If the path is still wrong, adjust the Gravity Forms conditional logic first.
The Next button still shows.
Use a paid plan when you want to hide navigation buttons. Keep buttons visible on pages where visitors need to review several fields.
A text, number, checkbox, or address field does not auto-advance.
Confirm the site is using Plus and that the field has the required character or selection count configured in the field settings.
Mobile transitions feel too fast or jumpy.
Use shorter pages, avoid stacking several fields on auto-advance pages, and test with your theme, cache, and animation settings active.
Entries, notifications, or integrations changed.
Auto-advance changes movement between pages. It should not replace Gravity Forms entries, notifications, confirmations, or add-on integrations.
A theme, cache plugin, or script conflicts with the form.
Clear page cache, disable script optimization for the form page, then test with only Gravity Forms and Multi Page Auto Advance active.
06
Support prep
When you need help, send enough context to make the issue reproducible.
- Gravity Forms version and Multi Page Auto Advance version.
- Your license plan: Free, Pro, or Plus.
- The field type that should trigger auto-advance.
- Whether the form uses conditional logic, hidden buttons, animations, cache, or script optimization.
- A link to the form page, plus the exact answer path that fails.
Next step
Compare features, confirm the plan fit, or send the support details when a live form is behaving unexpectedly.
