Post Fields Do Not Create a Post

  1. My form has Post Title, Post Category (which is Admin Only), Post Body, and Post Image from the Post Fields section. It also has Name and Website from the Advanced Fields section. When data is entered into these fields and submitted, no post is created as a draft or otherwise. What step am I leaving out?

    Are you using the latest Gravity Forms and WordPress versions? Are you using any other add-ons? Can you attempt to remove the admin only specification on the Category field and see if it works?

  3. I am using Gravity Forms 1.6.4.5 and WordPress 3.4. I removed the Admin Only spec and re-tested. No post was created.

    You don't get any errors, the entry is created, but the post is not?

    Can I have you try the following troubleshooting steps?

  5. Also, if you submit the form from the preview, is a post created?

  6. OK, a lot of trouble that, apparently, I caused. Worth noting here for others that might run into the problem.

    There was an apparent conflict with Akismet. HOWEVER, my Akismet account had been suspended. When I reactivated the Akismet account and plugin, everything worked fine.

  7. Thank you for the update.

    Were the entries being marked as spam, or were the entries OK but the posts were not created?
