I had to edit your code slightly to the following to get it working:</p> <pre><code>$post_data[&quot;post_custom_fields&quot;] = array( &quot;_wp_page_template&quot; =&gt; &quot;recipe.php&quot; );</code></pre> <p>Thanks for your help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setting-page-template-in-functionsphp#post-11904 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:23:24 +0000 David Smith 11904@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Danny,</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/1264896" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1264896</a></p> <p>I update your script with this snippet:</p> <pre><code>$post_data[&quot;post_custom_fields&quot;][] = array( &quot;meta_name&quot; =&gt; &quot;_wp_page_template&quot;, &quot;meta_value&quot; =&gt; &quot;page_custom.php&quot; );</code></pre> <p>In WordPress the page template is stored as a custom field per page. To update this when the post is created, we simply append a new custom field to the post data using WP's expected page template custom field for the meta name and the filename of your page template for the meta value.</p> <p>Hope this helps! :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setting-page-template-in-functionsphp#post-11849 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:11:30 +0000 dannybull 11849@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We're successfully using Gravity forms to create a post that is converted into a page within functions.php. We're also changing the parent page based on a selection made in the form. Here's the code we're using:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_post_data&quot;, &quot;change_post_type&quot;, 10, 2); function change_post_type($post_data, $form){ //only change post type on form id X if($form[&quot;id&quot;] != 1) return $post_data; //add other page data here $post_data[&quot;post_type&quot;] = &quot;page&quot;; $post_data[&quot;post_parent&quot;] = $_POST[&quot;input_8&quot;]; // Parent page is pulled from drop down on form return $post_data; }</code></pre> <p>What we'd like to do next is change the page template in the above function. Does anyone know if this is possible?</p> <p>Many thanks. </p>
