Otherwise it could lead to really bad behaviour :(</p> <p>I have recently observed very strange behaviour when using this plugin (Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types). In fact, when updating my form, suddenly my WordPress became corrupted (corrupted enough to force me to reinstall a complete backup).</p> <p>I wasn't sure what was causing this really bad bug until I found the last php error inside my log and it was directly pointing out this plugin's script... looks like some errors were thrown during a particular loop and it was corrupting (I mean, breaking some table index or something like that) the whole database.</p> <p>As soon as I deactivated the plugin, I have never observed again this bug (and since I did make the same kind of change). So I'm pretty sure this plugin must never be used again.</p> <p>I'm looking to develop myself the taxonomy field... that is sad because the plugin was really helpful. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-forms-and-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies#post-96586 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:48:52 +0000 yammy 96586@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>By the way this plugin is not fully functioning, the coder stopped updating it, and told me last week, that he doesn't have time for it for the next 6 months, if not more...</p> <p>The beta 4 version of the guy's plugin does have several bugs, and the last stable release can't handle custom taxonomy dropdowns very well. I saw a linked dropdown thing on its version 4 beta, but it's bugged in several places and the coder won't fix it, not even in this year...</p> <p>So I do wish that you natively include the functionalities from the plugin soon. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-forms-and-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies#post-93887 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:44:40 +0000 Rothbert 93887@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 This would be great to have built in.<br /> I'm currently using the Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types plugin but am aware that it hinges on the developer continuing to maintain &amp; support.<br /> Also looking for further functionality where the custom post type can be selected from multiple choices by form user rather than only set by form admin. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-forms-and-custom-post-types-and-taxonomies#post-71110 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 04:43:56 +0000 cca 71110@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yup I'd like this too please. I have enough plugins on my sites already, not to mention it seems it has not been tested with the current WordPress version, which could mean that in a few more releases it will break or cause problems such as issues with page load time or other plugin conflicts etc. This should really be a built-in feature and not an add-on too IMHO.

GF sells itself on the basis of being able to create posts. </p> <p>The talk here of an Advanced Post Creation Add-on dates back to September 2010. I keep reading the same old line: we're planning this at the end of the year, or later in the year ... blah blah blah. </p> <p>It's like watching paint dry, only less interesting ;-) </p>
