Creating Single Entry Detail Pages

Introduction

Display Form Entries Pro allows you to create dedicated pages that display the full details of a single form entry.

This is especially useful when building:

  • Member directories
  • Product listings
  • Vendor directories
  • Event registrations

Users can first browse entries in a list view, then click an entry to open a detailed summary page showing all information for that specific submission.

This is typically done using two components:

  1. Linked List display – shows a list of entries with clickable links
  2. Single Entry block – displays the full details for one entry

Part 1 — Creating the Entry Listing (Linked List View)

First you need a page that displays multiple entries with links to the detailed view.

Creating Single Entry Detail Pages

Step 1 — Add the Display Form Entries Block

  1. Edit the page where you want to display your entries.
  2. Click Add Block (+).
  3. Search for:

Display Form Entries

  1. Add the block to the page.

Step 2 — Select the Form

In the block settings:

  1. Choose the Gravity Form you want to display entries from.
  2. The entries from that form will now appear in the block preview.

Step 3 — Choose the Linked List Display

Under Display Options, select:

Linked List

This layout allows each entry to contain a clickable link that opens a detailed summary page.


Scroll down in the block settings.

You will see options to choose which field becomes the clickable link.

Examples include:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Product name
  • Entry ID

Select the field you want users to click.

For example:

• Selecting Name will make the user’s name clickable.


Step 5 — Save the Page

Click Save or Update.

On the front end:

  • A list of entries will appear.
  • The selected field will now act as a link.

When users click the link, they will be taken to the detailed entry page.

Once selected, the full entry details will appear.


Customizing the Entry Display

The Single Entry block provides several styling and layout options.

These are available in the block sidebar under:

  • Style
  • Spacing
  • Typography

You can customize:

Background

Change the background color of the entry display.

Borders

Add borders and adjust border width.

Spacing

Control padding and spacing around the entry fields.

Typography

Adjust:

  • Label color
  • Field value color
  • Font size
  • Title styling

These options allow the entry display to match your website design.


Displaying Specific Fields

You can choose whether to show:

• All fields from the entry
or
• Only selected fields

For example you may choose to display:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Product name
Selecting Fields to display on display form entries

instead of showing every form field.


Returning to the Entry List

When viewing a detailed entry page, users can return to the listing by clicking:

Back to List

This returns them to the main directory or listing page.


Example Use Case

Vendor Directory

A site lists vendors using the Linked List view.

Each row shows:

  • Vendor name
  • Product category

When a user clicks the vendor name, they are taken to a Single Entry page showing:

  • Vendor details
  • Contact information
  • Product description
  • Additional fields

This creates a clean directory → detail page experience.


Best Practices

• Use Linked List view for directories and listings.
• Use the Single Entry block to display full entry details.
• Limit the fields shown in listings to avoid clutter.
• Use styling controls to match the layout with your site design.


Troubleshooting

Entry details are not displaying

Check that:

  • The correct form is selected in the Single Entry block.
  • The Entry ID exists.

Make sure:

  • Linked List view is selected.
  • A field has been chosen as the link field.
