Hi folks,
I'm trying to decide whether to buy Gravity Forms. I want to be able to create a wordpress post and add a gravity form to it. When people fill out the form on the post page, I want the information they enter to be publicly viewable on that same post page.
Is it possible to designate where the info they enter goes, or does it have to go to a completely new post?
No, it can't append data to an existing post it can only create a new post.
Another way to handle this is to create a category for these posts and then display that category. All the posts would be visible on the category page and you could customize the category theme template file accordingly.

Thanks for your quick response, Carl. I'm just thinking this through and I want to make sure I understand what you're suggesting.
You're saying I would have to create a category for each separate post that I want users to be able to append data to, right?
Then I'd just add the code to my theme to display any items in that category if they exist (which is easy enough and not a bad solution as it would allow multiple people to contribute different sets of data for each post).
The reason I ask is there are going to be about (literally) 900 or 1,000 of these posts for the website I'm developing, each about a specific location that I want users to be able to append data to. So I'm trying to make it as few steps as possible for the interns who are going to be initially setting up each post. I'd rather they not have the ability to edit the theme templates (and this would of course require them to have to create a new theme template for each post and edit it).
Use our Contact Us form and give me a better rundown of what you are trying to do, what kind of content, what the post submission data would be, etc. and I can get a better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish and if Gravity Forms would be a good fit.
