I'll clarify what I did and why I was confused in case it helps other noobs like me that might have the same issues. The code in question is posted in my previous comment above.</p> <p>1) This code does go into functions.php.<br /> 2) I was confused by the comment "// update '39' to the ID of your form"<br /> '39' refers to the word 'id' not to the word 'update'. Each form has an id, mine ended up being '3'. So gform_post_data_3 identifies my form, and adds the filter function in the right place. </p> <p>Here are other helpful threads on the subject that helped me figure this out. </p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gf-post-field-visibility-private-option" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/gf-post-field-visibility-private-option</a><br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data</a></p> <p>Thanks for your help David, I know everything I just wrote must seem remarkably obvious to you, but hopefully it will be of use to some future forum user. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-entries-as-posts-with-visibility-private#post-50876 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:06:01 +0000 ckrauskopf 50876@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK - I'm not sure if I did this right or not, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'd like to make all posts generated by my form private. I'm also using the GF custom post types plugin to make the form generate a custom post type called 'submissions' rather than a regular post, which I hope doesn't complicate things too much. I don't want the privacy to be conditional on the answer to any of the form questions, I just need all 'submissions' to be visible only to administrators. Actually, it could be any logged in user, but it must be invisible to the public. </p> <p>Any ideas? Here is the test form:</p> <p><a href="http://www.christopherkrauskopf.me/test/blu/new-form-test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.christopherkrauskopf.me/test/blu/new-form-test/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-entries-as-posts-with-visibility-private#post-20987 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:21:07 +0000 David Smith 20987@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Give this a shot: <a href="http://pastie.org/1696947" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1696947</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/adding-entries-as-posts-with-visibility-private#post-20881 Sun, 20 Mar 2011 06:50:20 +0000 prij 20881@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Just wondering if there's a way I can save a form entry as a blog post with visibility: private using Gravity Forms? </p> <p>Ideally, when the user completes a form they will be able to check a checkbox which allows them to make their submission private. </p> <p>On submission, if this checkbox has been selected, then the entry should be saved as a private post, otherwise the entry would save as a regular post with public visibility. </p>
