Publishing Entries on Website through Gravity Form

    Hi,

    What i want to achieve is :

    It is a small travel website for a school, where users can post travel tips of their own countries.
    I bought the gravity form, I embeded the form in a page called- "Add your tip"
    The form has post field title, body, category. When i test the form, the entry is getting saved a entry and not being published on the Cities Page where I want to display user generated tips.

    Please help me achieve that. is there a code i need to change/do/ what stylesheet i need to change or add.

    I am still in the learning phase but someone recommended gravity so things will get easier.

    Any urgent help is appreciated.

    Recap: I have 4 pages, about, cities (where the city tip should be posted from the from) add your city (where the form is) and home. I have form on "about a city" and i want the result to be displayed on "cities" page.

    Thanks.

  2. The Cities page will need to be an archive page, for the category Cities, and then you can link to the archive page in your menu. There are also WordPress plugins which will provide a shortcode to display all posts from a specific category, in a single page. You could use that as well.

    Or, you could accept the user input, not as post fields, just as form fields, then use the gform_after_submission hook to update an existing post (or page) with the recently submitted entry. That is a more advanced use of Gravity Forms and would require some additional code on your site.

  4. Creating an archive page and linking it to your menu are WordPress functions. I would recommend creating each tip as a post, in a specific category, then use a category archive page to display all tips in one place. With recent version of WordPress, it's easy to add a custom page to your menu. You could also set the Blog page to "Cities" and have all posts (which are all tips) show up there. None of this is related to Gravity Forms; it's all WordPress usage and content management.

    Thanks.

    The way I am using the Gravity form is: reetikasarin.com/inseadtravel (its just a demo website for now for a project)

    We have 4 pages...add your city is the form that people will fill which should get published in the cities page as posts and that is not happening.

    Suggestions?
