However, you can generate a sanitized permalink with the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title" rel="nofollow">sanitize_title</a> WordPress function, then update the post to save that new permalink using the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post" rel="nofollow">wp_update_post</a> function hooked to <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">gform_after_submission</a>. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/different-post-title-and-permalink#post-43981 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:03:08 +0000 Anonymous 43981@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We are always pushing the limit of WordPress and Gravity Forms but again we have hit a wall.</p> <p>This time we are trying to build a post but we want the title of the post to be populated from the "Post Title" field and the permalink to be built from "Post Title" + another field.</p> <p>we had the post template as {Post Title:2}-{Other:10} this gave us a nice permalink of:<br /> <a href="http://website.com/post-title-other-field" rel="nofollow">http://website.com/post-title-other-field</a>.<br /> BUT the post title was "Post Title Other Field" &lt;--- not what we want.</p> <p>Now for the question.<br /> How does Gravity Forms build the permalink?</p> <p>Does it:<br /> A) Just set the title and let WordPress auto generate?<br /> B) Or is there a function that actually builds the permalink?</p> <p>If it is A does anyone know of a function that will help us set the permalink of the post being generated? </p>
