I see the comment you added, but it does not give and option under the post for anyone to comment?? Is it possible for comments form other users to be made? Not sure how you acutally commented on the article from the frontend. Please explain further. I will contact theme developer about the cateogory. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-how-to-get-a-form-post-to-a-page#post-31514 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 02:08:29 +0000 Chris Hajer 31514@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The posts created by Gravity Forms will honor the settings you have for Discussion in your WordPress admin. I had comments turned off on my site, just turned them back on, and submitted a story here: <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/story-submission/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/story-submission/</a></p> <p>There was an option to leave a reply, which I did, and it's on the site now.</p> <p>Do you allow comments on your posts in the WordPress admin?<br /> <a href="http://changingurworld.com/wp2/wp-admin/options-discussion.php" rel="nofollow">http://changingurworld.com/wp2/wp-admin/options-discussion.php</a></p> <p>If you want to enable comments only on these submissions, then you need to do more work. The setting in the WordPress admin is global (applies to all categories.)</p> <p>For the second part, removing the category, you're probably going to have to edit your template files. That is just WordPress customization to make the pages look the way you want, unrelated to Gravity Forms. It looks like you're using a non-free template.

I have tried it all and have uploaded the Post Page Association plugin and it all works great. I have only 2 issues left, one is that each individual post that is created by the user form does not have the ability to let people make comments on the individual post. And the second is that I don't want the category to appear. How can I remove category from under the title?<br /> Here is the link to my page where the Post Page plugin is populating the posts.<br /> <a href="http://changingurworld.com/wp2/new-stories/" rel="nofollow">http://changingurworld.com/wp2/new-stories/</a><br /> If you click on an individual post they each end up having their own post page which after the fact I could add comments as the admin panel, but I want the form to allow users to submit the post and have it populate to the story page and then when they click through an individual post that post can have others add comments on that post. Any ideas? Is this all being generated by the form or is this part of WP?<br /> Thanks again. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-how-to-get-a-form-post-to-a-page#post-31300 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:29:27 +0000 garethc 31300@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've tried plenty and this is by far the best option and it doesn't use shortcode. </p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-page-association-plugin/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-page-association-plugin/</a></p> <p>It just loads all the options at the bottom of a new pages for you to select.

Here it is: <a href="http://seedprod.com/wordpress-the-loop-shortcode/" rel="nofollow">http://seedprod.com/wordpress-the-loop-shortcode/</a></p> <p>That adds a shortcode called "loop". I create a page called "<a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/visitor-submissions/" rel="nofollow">Visitor Submissions</a>" and used the shortcode as my Page content:</p> <pre><code>[loop category=&quot;stories&quot; pagination=&quot;false&quot;]</code></pre> <p>That's the only thing I entered in my Page. I have pagination set to false there so all the posts in the "stories" category will be on one page.</p> <p>However, this shortcode too defaults to displaying only a list of post titles, linked. That happens on this line:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&quot; rel=&quot;bookmark&quot;&gt;&lt;/li&gt;</code></pre> <p>Since I am using the default Twenty Eleven theme (a child theme of it anyway), I changed that one line to this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php get_template_part( &#39;content&#39;, get_post_format() ); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>That one line change created the output you see here:<br /> <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/visitor-submissions/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/visitor-submissions/</a></p> <p>There are a lot of things wrong with the format of that page, but I was not going to spend time fixing them. What you would do is copy the loop code from your archive.php or index.php template and replace that one line with your code. That will essentially loop through all the posts in your one category, and display them just as they're displayed on your archive or index page.</p> <p>There might be other things to be changed (body class due to this being a Page vs a Post for example) but it is certainly possible to do what you want by using this code in your functions.php or creating a mini-plugin out of it. It will just need to be tweaked for your use to match your existing template. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-help-with-how-to-get-a-form-post-to-a-page#post-31175 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:55:30 +0000 Chris Hajer 31175@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Mavellino, this is getting into straight WordPress customization now, not related at all to Gravity Forms. You've got Gravity Forms creating your posts, which is great. </p> <p>Now, you're trying to create a page that display every post from a specific category on your site. This will most easily be done by creating a page template that loops through all the posts in one category.</p> <p>I have not seen your site yet so I hesitate to post an actual page template for you since it would not match your existing code. Here's an example at wordpress.org:<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts</a></p> <p>That approach would need to be modified a little bit, as that code is using a custom field, and you don't need or have that, you just want everything from one category in a page.</p> <p>Another example suggesting a page template:<br /> <a href="http://www.hashbangcode.com/blog/create-page-posts-wordpress-417.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hashbangcode.com/blog/create-page-posts-wordpress-417.html</a></p> <p>Another way of doing this using a page template:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/7739/displaying-the-blog-entries-in-a-page-using-get-posts-to-retrieve-the-posts" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/7739/displaying-the-blog-entries-in-a-page-using-get-posts-to-retrieve-the-posts</a></p> <p>In short, it looks like it will take a little bit of customization on your part to create a page template that will loop through all the posts in your story category, then display them in that page.</p> <p>Aside:<br /> I thought there might be (should be?) a plugin that adds a shortcode you can add to get posts into a page, but the ones I found all output a list of titles, not the actual posts. Ones I found:</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/</a><br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/show-aposts-shortcode/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/show-aposts-shortcode/</a></p> <p>There were a couple others as well but all output lists rather than all the posts. I think a page template is the way to go. </p>
