That would display the current data. At this point you would know the post ID as well. When the form is submitted, you could use the gform_after_submission to call the WordPress function wp_update_post.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a><br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post</a></p> <p><em>The gform_after_submission post actually shows the use of wp_update_post.</em></p> <p>It's possible to do with a bit of thought and some code using the hooks and filters which are built in to WordPress. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-forms-to-update-a-post#post-60898 Wed, 30 May 2012 19:09:18 +0000 wpforchurch 60898@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I recently read this: <a href="http://www.doitwithwp.com/pre-populate-fields-using-gravity-forms/" rel="nofollow">http://www.doitwithwp.com/pre-populate-fields-using-gravity-forms/</a></p> <p>I'm just putting together a directory site of churches. I'd like for visitors to be able to submit a form to update a listing. Could this be done with gravity forms? Ideally, changes would need to be approved before taking effect. From the article referenced above, it seems like this may be possible.</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Jack </p>
