I do not want to administer them, so that is not an option for me. </p> <p>They are submitting, among other things, a date custom field called "event_date".<br /> I have a little function that converts the event_date into a timestamp and saves it in a new custom field called "date_value".</p> <p>I have the conversion and save happening on 'save_post' like this:<br /> <code>add_action(&#39;save_post&#39;, &#39;mb_convertToTimestamp&#39;, $postid);</code></p> <p>This works fine for posts submmitted through the Wordpress backend.<br /> However it doesn't seem to work with posts submitted through the gravity form. Date_value is empty.</p> <p>Any thoughts? I've also tried it on "publish_post" and it doesn't work either. </p>
