The form creates directory listings. The directory listing page templates only show posts in the future, so I'm trying to have the form post a date that is equal to today's date plus a year. The posts are going through okay but the date is not being changed. This is my current functions code:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_pre_submission&#39;, &#39;set_post_date&#39;, 10, 2); function set_post_date($post_data, $form){ return $post_data; $today_date = date(&#39;Y-m-d&#39;); /** CURRENT DATE*/ $time_value = date(&#39;H:i:s&#39;); /** CURRENT TIME*/ $date_value = strtotime(date(&#39;Y-m-d&#39;, strtotime($today_date)) . &#39;+1 year&#39;); /** ADJUSTED DATE*/ $post_date = date(&quot;Y-m-d H:i:s&quot;,strtotime($date_value . &quot; &quot; . $time_value)); $post_data[&quot;post_date&quot;] = $post_date; return $post_data; }</code></pre> <p>I also tried setting my filter to gform_post_data but that didn't change anything either. </p> <p>Am I using the wrong filter to affect the post date?</p> <p>All the Best,<br /> Jason </p>
