However as i'm not a coder, i don't know where to start.</p> <p>Could anyone walk me through this a little more detailed? if this solves the problem it would really benefit everyone.</p> <p>We have editing working with Gravity Forms, through a fairly simple process:<br /> 1. Embed a hidden field in your form to hold the ID of the post to edit<br /> 2. When you display the form using gravity_form() function in your template, pre-populate the fields with the data from your post ($field_values parameter)<br /> 3. Add a hook to gform_post_data, that extracts the ID from the form (rgpost() function) and set $post_data["ID"] = your_post_id;<br /> That's it - when GF calls the wp_insert_post it will detect that ID is set and modify the existing post, rather than creating a new one. </p>
