Retrieve Entry Approval Status in GravityView
If you want to get the GravityView approval status (Approved / Disapproved / Unapproved) of a Gravity Forms entry using code, use GravityView_Entry_Approval::get_entry_status() . This method supports retrieving either the label (Approved, Disapproved, Unapproved) or the value (1, 2, 0).
Approval status values
The approval statuses are stored as constants in GravityView_Entry_Approval_Status class. The numeric value can be accessed using GravityView_Entry_Approval_Status::APPROVED .
| Constant | Value | Default Label | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| APPROVED | 1 |
Approved | Entry has been approved. |
| DISAPPROVED | 2 |
Disapproved | Entry has been explicitly disapproved. |
| UNAPPROVED | 3 |
Unapproved | Entry has not yet been approved or disapproved. |
Fetching the label sample
// Get the label (default)
$value = GravityView_Entry_Approval::get_entry_status( $entry_or_id_or_slug, 'value' );
// Get the numeric value (1,2,3)
$label = GravityView_Entry_Approval::get_entry_status( $entry_or_id_or_slug, 'label' );
// Example outputs:
$value = 1;
$label = 'Approved';
Helper methods
To make approval checks more readable, you can also use these helper methods:
GravityView_Entry_Approval_Status::is_approved( $entry );
GravityView_Entry_Approval_Status::is_disapproved( $entry );
GravityView_Entry_Approval_Status::is_unapproved( $entry );
These helper methods handle all status logic internally, keeping your code clean and consistent.
