Is it possible that your framework includes a custom post type of testimonial? If that's the case, you can change the post type after the form is submitted using the gform_post_data filter: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data</a></p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_post_data&quot;, &quot;update_post_type&quot;, 10, 2); function update_post_type($post_data, $form) { // maybe the custom post type is &#39;testimonial&#39;? $post_data[&quot;post_type&quot;] = &quot;testimonial&quot;; return $post_data; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-posts-as-testimonials-not-traditional-blog-posts#post-76523 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 09:47:51 +0000 mindspark 76523@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Good morning everyone. Probably a simple question, but I can't find a thread that helps me solve it on my own... here goes:</p> <p>I have built a nice testimonials form on a site, and have no problem creating new posts that display correctly on the site. However, the post data is stored as a POST. I would like to know if / how I can set the form (or create a new one) that stores post data as a TESTIMONIAL - and accessible when clicking on the default TESTIMONIALS menu item within the default Wordpress installation.</p> <p>In case you're wondering why - its driven by how I want to display the testimonials on my site. My Site My Way has a great framework and elegant styling for TESTIMONIALS which are handled differently than typical post data. I would like to take advantage of these elements (if possible), but need guidance on how to use GF to achieve the above.</p> <p>URL: <a href="http://mindsparkconsulting.com/clients/ut2/feedback/" rel="nofollow">http://mindsparkconsulting.com/clients/ut2/feedback/</a></p> <p>thanks in advance for your help! </p>
