Allowing users to post to my blog using your form?

    I'm considering purchasing your form, but was looking for a way to allow users/visitors to submit a photo and comments on a specific page on my website. Is that possible using your form? I've tried accessing some of the faq's in your support forum, but since I'm not an existing customer it doesn't look like I can access those topics. :-(

    Thanks!

  2. Gravity Forms can be used to create user submitted WordPress Posts, including Image uploads. However, it isn't designed to replace the Comments form WordPress uses for creating comments on Posts.

    But it can be used to create posts and capture user submitted data, contact forms, support forms, etc. So if by comments you aren't referring directly to the WordPress comment system, then yes you could use it for that also.

    The FAQ on this site isn't focused for non-users, it's targeted towards existing users and common questions/problems/issues that may arise depending on server configuration, etc. So it isn't designed by be a pre-sales FAQ.

    Hi Carl,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I don't mean to replace the standard WP comments capability with your gravity form. Basically, I'm looking for a way for visitors to my site to post their own comments and pictures to one of my webpages on my website in a blog type format. I was hoping that your form would allow for that (displaying the data collected from the form on a webpage), but I don't see any concrete examples where that can be done using your form.

    Does that make sense?

    Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply!

    Joe

  4. Yes, that makes sense and Gravity Forms can do that using the Post Fields. They can create posts and include images with the post. You can then assign those posts to a category you create for those user submitted posts.
