Fix Gravity Form Tabindex Conflicts

This is most common when loading a Gravity Form on a page which is loading a non-GF form (like the WordPress comment form). You’re typing away on your Gravity Form and tab to the next field. Awesome. Except the next field is a completely different form. This snippet sets the starting index of your Gravity Form inputs ridiculously high so such conflicts never happen again.

<?php
/**

 * http://gravitywiz.com
 */
add_filter("gform_tabindex", "gform_tabindexer");
function gform_tabindexer() {
    $starting_index = 1000; // if you need a higher tabindex, update this number
    return GFCommon::$tab_index >= $starting_index ? GFCommon::$tab_index : $starting_index;
}

How do I install this snippet?

Easy peasy. Just copy and paste the code above into your theme's functions.php file.

How to I use this functionality?

This snippet is plug-n-play. No changes needed (unless you’re still seeing tabindex conflicts which is highly unlikely). If you are, just update the 1000 in the snippet to a higher number until the conflict disappears.
