Here is print_r of what was available in the $_POST when the save_post action was fired on my localhost:</p> <pre><code>{&quot;input_1&quot;:&quot;Test&quot;,&quot;input_2&quot;:&quot;Test&quot;,&quot;input_3&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/&quot;,&quot;input_10&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;input_11&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;is_submit_39&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;gform_submit&quot;:&quot;39&quot;,&quot;gform_unique_id&quot;:&quot;4dadf6b88beea&quot;,&quot;state_39&quot;:&quot;YToyOntpOjA7czo2OiJhOjA6e30iO2k6MTtzOjMyOiJjM2Q2MTc3MWFiODc5MGExODg3YTAwYmI1NzNmYmZjNSI7fQ==&quot;,&quot;gform_target_page_number_39&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;gform_source_page_number_39&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;gform_field_values&quot;:&quot;&quot;}</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save_post-wordpress-hook-with-gravityforms#post-23637 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 19:54:23 +0000 dennispedrie 23637@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I did a bit more digging. The hook gets fired, but I'm getting caught up on my post type checking.</p> <p>I added a function to my site to allow Gforms to add content to a post type called "bloggers". This works fine.</p> <p>I have the following code in my save_post function to make sure I'm only getting the right post type. This is where my problem is. The function gets returned before any of the important stuff happens.</p> <p>How can I change this code to allow Gforms to get through my validation?</p> <pre><code>// verify if this is an auto save routine. If it is our form has not been submitted, so we dont want // to do anything if ( defined(&#39;DOING_AUTOSAVE&#39;) &amp;&amp; DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return $post_id; // Check permissions if ( &#39;bloggers&#39; == $_POST[&#39;post_type&#39;] ) { if ( !current_user_can( &#39;edit_page&#39;, $post_id ) ) return $post_id; } else return $post_id;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save_post-wordpress-hook-with-gravityforms#post-23606 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:35:23 +0000 David Smith 23606@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Dennis,</p> <p>I did some tests locally and the save_post hook was fired successfully when creating a new post with Gravity Forms. Could you post the function you are firing on save_post? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save_post-wordpress-hook-with-gravityforms#post-23596 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 15:37:37 +0000 dennispedrie 23596@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've got a function to automatically create a taxonomy entry when I create or edit a post. It's called using the save_post hook in WordPress, and works perfectly on the backend.</p> <p>It doesn't work in Gforms though, <strike>and I'm assuming based on that that Gforms doesn't use WordPress' built-in post creation functions.</strike></p> <p>I found in forms_model.php that gforms uses the wp_insert_post() function, which does call the save_post hook. Why doesn't it seem to be working right then? </p>
