Is there a way to manually set what the URL will be for forms, and stages within forms? I need to do this for SEO purposes. I have two forms linked together and need to be able to set custom urls based on which form and which stage you are on, as well as the confirmation page. GF always seems to add something like #gf_2 to the end of the url.
Thanks in advance
The URL of your form is the URL of the page you put it on. Each page appends the #gf_1, #gf_2 and the like so that the script can show the right fields. You can't change this.
The #gf_1, #gf_2 are the stages, and you can't change those as our script needs them to figure out which fields to show.

Two questions to clarify. Thanks
1. It seems as though the #gf_2 stand for the gravity form ID not the stage.
2. Can I change the ID? And when i pass data from one form to another via a query string it adds that to the URL. Can that be removed?
The gf_# has to do with forms with multiple pages. You can't change this.
The ID of a form also cannot currently be changed. What do you mean when you say it adds it to the query string?
For example, if I have two forms: form 1 and form 2. Form 1 is 2 pages, and Form 2 is two pages.
If I am on form one, the URL would be something like:
http://site.com/form-one/
If I have the confirmation redirect from form 1 to form 2 and include data from Form 1, my URL would look like:
http://www.site.com/form-two/?input1=data&input2=data2
On the second page of form 2 my url should look something like:
http://www.site.com/form-two/#gf_2 or #gf_3...etc.
Does that answer your questions? Again, you can't change those details because they would break Gravity Forms.
Also, there are more important things with regards to SEO than the query strings or hash symbols. Your page title, structure, valid code, and potentially even your page load speed will be more important than these specific parts of the URL structure.
