My specific question was how easy it would be to create new posts in a custom post type with gravity forms. The form would be embedded in a page and it should create new content.</p> <p>To be specific, this is the form - <a href="http://whitehatsweb.com/authentic/?page_id=501" rel="nofollow">http://whitehatsweb.com/authentic/?page_id=501</a> that creates a new post in Custom Post type. The form was created as metaboxes and custom fields in the backend, but now the client wants to be able to add new options and radio buttons as and when required and the deadline would be, yesterday.</p> <p>Is it something we can achieve with gravity forms, albeit with some exploration and work? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-to-create-content-type-other-than-posts#post-27226 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:01:20 +0000 David Smith 27226@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Tejas,</p> <p>Gravity Forms is definitely the easiest tool to use to build forms quickly and easily in the WP admin. There are several ways to embed the form (shortcode, widget, function call) so I'm sure you'll have no problem adding the form to your custom post type template.</p> <p>Welcome aboard. ;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-to-create-content-type-other-than-posts#post-27216 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:16:50 +0000 tejas 27216@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This might just be sanity check before I go ahead and click on Purchase button, but what I want to do is integrate a form in custom post type template which can be used to create the CPT. Our major requirement is that the form should be editable from the backend (new options can be added, radio button values can be changed) which has negated almost 16 hours of work we did to create forms ourselves.</p> <p>Please let me know if this is possible to do with Gravity forms and you might find yourself a happy client soon. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-to-create-content-type-other-than-posts#post-23847 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 11:11:49 +0000 Carl Hancock 23847@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms can do this, but it isn't a built in option in the Form Editor. By default it only creates Posts.</p> <p>You need to either do so using the available API hooks, or you can use the free 3rd party Add-On that is available in the WordPress.org repository. You can find it here:</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-form-to-create-content-type-other-than-posts#post-23820 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:32:51 +0000 Amadrias 23820@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I would like to know if it is possible to create other content types instances than Posts using Gravity Form?</p> <p>I searched the forum and faq but couldn't find an answer on that.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
