Of course that will be overwritten as soon as you upgrade. Look at lines 983-985, they create the options that are shown. You add another line:<br /> &lt;option value="private"&gt;Private&lt;/option&gt;<br /> to give you the Private option as a dropdown. Not sure if you can add it with a hook/filter? That would be better so it does not get overwritten each time you upgrade. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatically-setting-submitted-posts-to-private#post-8486 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:33:11 +0000 Carl Hancock 8486@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>All customizations would go in your themes function.php file, never edit the Gravity Forms plugin files as this can cause issues and upgrades to the plugin would overwrite your work. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatically-setting-submitted-posts-to-private#post-8481 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:14:54 +0000 AxellOnline 8481@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Where do I place this code theme's function.php or the gravity form's function.php?

Until then, you can use the following code snippet to set your posts to private</p> <p><code><br /> add_filter("gform_post_data", "private_posts", 10, 2);<br /> function private_posts($post_data, $form){<br /> if($form["id"] == XXX){<br /> $post_data["post_status"] = "private";<br /> }<br /> return $post_data;<br /> }<br /> </code><br /> Replace XXX with your form id. </p>
