Does a post have to be called a post?

    I want my users to be able to submit a post, but I don't want it to be called a post. I want it to be called an Application (as in Scholarship Application). Can I change the name of this, but still have it appear for moderation?

    Also, I'm assuming when a new post (application) is submitted it will go to moderation. Then, once it has been approved, an automatic email will go out letting the submitter know their post (application) has been posted to the site- right?

  2. I'm not sure what you mean by change the name of the post. Posts are just pieces of data, how you present them and what you call them on your site to your users is entirely up to you. That is more a theme presentation thing than a Gravity Forms thing. You could create a Category called Applications and assign all posts created via the form to that category automatically.

    Gravity Forms only creates the post. You can set it to create the post as a Draft which would then require moderation. Once the post is created that is the extent of Gravity Forms involvement, so there is no automated email that goes out when they post has been approved/published. The post is WordPress functionality and WordPress doesn't do this out of the box.

    Although anything is possible via customization and in fact a user just posted a solution for sending an email when a user submitted post is published here:

  4. That is located in a support forum that is only accessible to customers currently. If you have already purchased Gravity Forms and can't access that forum post it is because you registered with an email address that differs from the one you used to purchase Gravity Forms with on PayPal.

    If you haven't purchased yet, you would need to purchase Gravity Forms in order to access the customer only areas of the site.

    Here is a screenshot of the post content for that post: http://grab.by/9y27
