You can do this with the gform_after_submission hook and the wp_update_post function.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a><br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post</a></p> <p>Set the post_password for the post to the password entered into your form. You can do it like this: <a href="http://pastebin.com/nuYBKSrJ" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/nuYBKSrJ</a></p> <p>Demo: <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/password-protect-the-post-you-create/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/password-protect-the-post-you-create/</a></p> <p>If you include {all_fields} in your notification, the email will include the password they entered. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/password-protect-a-post-published-by-a-gf-form#post-162285 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:47:10 +0000 cyteworks 162285@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm looking for something similar. Were you able to verify how to make this happen?</p> <p>I want to like to have the user specify the password to be used to protect the post submitted through Gravity Forms.

How would you see that working? Would the user also set the password on those posts? It is potentially possible with our current hooks system, but I'd have to confirm with the developers. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/password-protect-a-post-published-by-a-gf-form#post-117830 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:31:38 +0000 Idealien 117830@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/password-protect-a-post-published-by-a-gf-form#post-47265 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:20:22 +0000 mediana 47265@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,<br /> I rely on Gravity Forms to publish custom posts. It works very well ;-)<br /> Also, I would like to password protect posts published by my latest GF form.<br /> I don't see any option to do so out-of-the-box.<br /> I would very love to have some hints on the way to achieve so (hooks, for instance).<br /> Regards,<br /> Antoine </p>
