Gravity Forms only creates new posts. It does not have built in options for updating an existing post.</p> <p>It is possible to use it to update an existing post instead of creating a new one, but only through the use of available developer hooks and filters to customize Gravity Forms default behavior.</p> <p>You would need to implement a customization using code that tells Gravity Forms not to create a new post, but instead to add the Post content that is uploaded to an existing post and which post that would be using it's id.</p> <p>Plenty of people have customized Gravity Forms to update an existing post rather than create a new one, however i'm not aware of any existing tutorials that anyone has written that explains step by step how to do it.</p> <p>Here is another support forum post that discusses the same thing:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/users-upload-images-to-existing-post" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/users-upload-images-to-existing-post</a></p> <p>In that post we provided a link to a tutorial that explains how to use Gravity Forms to update an existing users profile rather than create a new user. The concepts used are going to be the same so you could use that tutorial as a reference to put together the custom code to accomplish what you want to do. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-question-how-to-display-entries-on-front-end#post-56537 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:53:39 +0000 SocialGazelle 56537@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, Rob. It's looking awesome. </p> <p>If I wanted users to be able to add a review to en existing review (post), I assume I'd create a form for that, but then how do I get those posts to add that form? Just posts from a certain category, I guess? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-question-how-to-display-entries-on-front-end#post-56368 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:51:43 +0000 Rob Harrell 56368@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>See this part of our documentation:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Post_Body" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Post_Body</a></p> <p>You can read up on the other Post Fields here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Form_Fields" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Form_Fields</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/newbie-question-how-to-display-entries-on-front-end#post-56366 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:47:41 +0000 SocialGazelle 56366@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So I've built a form and can get submissions from site visitors.<br /> How do I display these entries back to my site visitors?
