You will want to use this. Then any post created by Gravity Forms will have a custom field value you can pull from.</p> <p>After this, it is all WordPress theming and has nothing to do with Gravity Forms. Depending on your theme, you'll have to do different things. </p> <p>Here is all the documentation on custom fields from WordPress -<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields</a></p> <p>You might want to reach out to the creator of your theme and ask them for any help customizing the theme to display the custom fields if you don't feel confident you can do it. </p> <p>This is the best way to do what you want though. All my best! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-post-name-field-be-post-author-for-non-registered#post-100943 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:38:08 +0000 comunitae 100943@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>hello david thanks for the reply<br /> i'm very junior in gravity forms</p> <p>i.- how do i make that custom field?<br /> 2.- what would the code to show the value of the custom field?</p> <p>thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-post-name-field-be-post-author-for-non-registered#post-100844 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:53:48 +0000 David Peralty 100844@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here is the easiest answer I can think of. Store the name of the user in a custom field, and then in your WordPress theme, change it to display the value of the custom field. Then whatever their name is shows up where the post author would normally go. Would this solution work for you? </p>
