File Upload Post Field (or Custom Field)

  1. I have created a form to use all Post Fields, because I would like my users, who are very specific to this site, to be able to fill out the form and their information go into a Draft Post. So far, I am 85% there and feel like I am very close but overlooking something.

    The issue I am running into is getting Custom Fields to display within the Post itself.

    So, let's say I have 3 custom fields:
    Phone Number
    Work Title
    Resume (PDF)

    I set one field at the bottom of the form to have the Content Template so that it looks something like this:

    Phone: {Post Custom Field:13}{Contact Phone::8}
    Title: {Your Job Title::7}
    Uploaded File: {Post Custom Field:11}
    Website URL: {Website::6}

    But it doesn't seem to display on the Post itself.



    I get their Title, Body, Image uploaded & displayed, but no Custom Fields or Advanced Fields seem to want to display. How can I get this information/Custom Fields to display within the Content Body of the Post itself? With regards to the uploaded files, they I do see the files when I look via FTP but I don't see it in the Media Library of WP.

    I am open to suggestions.

  2. Still haven't found a solution, even after additional research through the Forums & Googling it...

    Anybody have any ideas? I just want to be able to display ANY custom field into the Post itself, and I think it is possible, I just don't have all of the pieces together. I'm sure if somebody was able to tell me how to do just 1 field (the Uploaded File for instance) I could make all of the others work.

    Thanks to anybody who can assist.

  4. By the way, this was very helpful. I just overlooked that area of Gravity Forms. The other things (my other Custom Fields) I was able to figure out earlier today also, but it was Genesis hooks, so I won't go into detail with that.

    Thanks again!
