general question about GF funcionality--pre-sales

    Before I purchase GF, I would like to know if it does what I need on my site.

    I would like to set up a personal Bio page for site registrants in Word Press that has fill-in the blanks for their biographical information. I want this to be in the body of the page and not in the side panels. It can be info that users fill in upon registration and/or come back later to fill in or update. Things like personal info, work history, published articles, etc.

    I like the idea of Gravity Forms because I believe that this will automate the process for me so I don't have to input the info for each person.

    I can sort of see how registering through GF on my front page might set up a personal bio page for someone. Does it do this as a separate page and can I have a button on another page to link to this Bio page?

    But if one registers with simple registration from WP, then is it possible to set up a form page with GF that someone can fill out on their bio page that does not have another log-in or submit button? It seems that when you set up a form, there is always a submit button attached.

    Also, is the layout of the page info customisable without knowing HTML or CSS?
    Can I add an another info box at a later date to the form that will show up in everyone's bio page automatically? Or, can I add another info box to an individual page once it has been set up?

    I haven't started building my site yet, so there is no URL.

  2. Gravity Forms does not generate bio pages. It can be used to register users using the user registration add-on, but it only handles the user creation part. It doesn't display user bios or allow editing of user bios. You may want to look at something like BuddyPress for WordPress which has full user profiles, etc. and is probably more suited to what you want to do.
