I think I might have solution to your issue, but before I put together a screenshot or a little tutorial, I want to make sure I understand you correctly. I can't tell if you are trying to do one of the following...or maybe even something else.</p> <p>are you saying that you want to.....</p> <p>1.) Give Authors access within the Wp-admin to create a post using a specific custom post type?</p> <p>2.) Give Authors the ability to use a gravity forms within the wp-admin area to write a post using said custom post type?</p> <p>Please let me know, so I can see if I can help you with this one. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-as-backend-admin-post-type-form#post-51611 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 10:27:37 +0000 wadams92101 51611@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you GZA. I don't need the form accessible from the front end but I guess it wouldn't work as some sort of back end form? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-as-backend-admin-post-type-form#post-51565 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 03:25:46 +0000 GZA 51565@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Strangely, it doesn't support post to custom post types out of the box, you will need a 3rd party plugin for that ;-)</p> <p>But yes, GF could in theory be used to do what you've described with the User Registration Add-on.</p> <p>The problem you'll have though, is they will not be able to edit their post from the front-end, for that you'll either have to go for a custom solution or wait until version 1.7 which I am led to believe will support front-end editing.</p> <p>Neither will your authors be able to edit their profiles from the front-end.</p> <p>This is a subject I've spent considerable time researching this past couple of weeks.</p> <p>We're looking at a neat little plugin for our project called Profile Builder Pro:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cozmoslabs.com/wordpress-profile-builder/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cozmoslabs.com/wordpress-profile-builder/</a> </p> <p>I'm trying to establish if this will work with GF and User Registration Add-on.</p> <p>For themes that support front-end editing we've been looking at this theme shop:</p> <p><a href="http://cosmothemes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cosmothemes.com/</a></p> <p>It's good to see theme shops doing something different, but I only need the functionality and not their designs.</p> <p>Good luck with your project. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-as-backend-admin-post-type-form#post-51558 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 01:45:27 +0000 wadams92101 51558@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Premium plugin without premium support? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-as-backend-admin-post-type-form#post-50451 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:47:43 +0000 wadams92101 50451@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can Gravity Forms be used to create a backend - admin form for authors to write posts for a custom post type from their admin area?
