I don't understand redirects and query strings...can someone help?

  1. I have set up a form and I want the page the user goes to after pressing "submit" to present them with a summary of what they filled in.

    I have established a Redirect page and I have set up the query string.

    Upon testing the form, the query string is properly passed to the URL in the address bar of the browser.

    But how do I get that information into the page itself...?

    I am not a programmer, just a humble user...so I need it all explaining in words of one syllable I'm afraid...!

    Someone posted this answer on another string here and it worked perfectly for me.
    Once your form is submitted this will instantly redirect the person to the POST that was JUST CREATED.

  3. Yes, I know that can happen - but it doesn't lead to a formatted page within my site, just a blank page with the details on. It is the default setting, as I understand it. What I want is the ability to format the presentation of the results. So I want to design a page with placeholders for the form data. I can't see a way of doing that - even though every other form software solution I have tried does exactly that. So clearly it is possible - it just isn't obvious how to do that with Gravity Forms.

  4. Sounds like you need to create a .css stylesheet and assign it to that new page to give your content a specific formatted look.
