Ok, I have read as many posts as I can, and I am not sure that gravity forms can do everything I need. Please advise.
1. I need to have a form that is embedded into a page or post. This form will have the following fields. Name, email address, title of post, content of post, and image upload that is restricted to certain sizes. A Captcha form will also be there.
2. The post will then be inserted into custom fields, and categories based on what I want. Including the image into the thumbnail field and into another field in the database. The name would also be added to the WordPress database so that the article would say that they wrote it.
3. The image will be resized based on either sizes I have specified in the functions files, or based on a selection.
4. The post will then be added to the database as pending, and the admin and the user will be emailed. The admin to tell them that they must look at the posts and the user to say that we have received it and that will look at it.
5. When the post is approved then it will email the user and give them the link to their article and if the post is denied then it will also email them and tell them why it was not accepted. (The denied post is not that important)
I think that that is it. Please advise if this is possible?
