I'll be sure to look into some other plugins, but also stay updated with Gravity Forms as it evolves. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/edit-existing-post-from-gravity-form-without-seeing-wordpress-back-end#post-18644 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 00:16:09 +0000 Carl Hancock 18644@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This isn't something Gravity Forms does by default. Gravity Forms is designed to create data from the front end, but Entries can only be edited via the backend *AND* when Gravity Forms creates a post it simply creates the Post and it's up to using the standard WordPress tools to manage the post after it's created.</p> <p>It's possible to make Gravity Forms edit existing posts/pages, but it requires writing custom code and using available API hooks to tell Gravity Forms to do this. It's something you would need quit a bit of Gravity Forms customization experience in order to implement it.</p> <p>That being said, you could probably use another plugin for the post editing. There are a few plugins in the WordPress.org repository that let you do things like edit posts/pages on the front end if the user logged in is the post author. I would look there.</p> <p>Finding a way to allow users to use Gravity Forms to edit existing data as well as create data is something we would like to add as a feature in the future once we determine an intuitive and easy to use way to implement this so users understand how to use it properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/edit-existing-post-from-gravity-form-without-seeing-wordpress-back-end#post-18643 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 00:08:44 +0000 azsmall23 18643@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible for a logged in author to be viewing a post page, click 'Edit', and have them not go to the WordPress back-end, but go to the page with the original post's gravity form and have the fields be auto-populated? Basically I don't ever want the multiple authors to see the WordPress dashboard and I want them to be able to edit posts directly from the site's front-end 'brand'. Can this be done with gravity forms or is there another plugin that can help me? </p>
