    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?

    1. Yes

    2. Post inserted into custom fields. I'm not sure what you mean there. Posts are stored in the wp_posts table and the custom fields for a post are stored in wp_postmeta. Please explain more what you mean. Maybe you mean some pieces of information submitted using the form will be stored in custom fields?

    3. Image resize, yes. Imaged uploaded with the Gravity Form are resized using the WordPress media functions in sizes you have previously defined, in the media library or with custom code.

    4. Posts can be marked as pending, draft or published. The admin notification can say "there is a new post; here is the URL. Go review it." The user notification, which is separate, can say "thank you for your submission. An administrator will review the post and let you know when it's approved or denied."

    5. This does not happen automatically in WordPress or with Gravity Forms. You do have the ability to add a note to an entry, and optionally email that note to someone. You could add a note to the entry, when it's approved or denied, and send that note to the email of the person who created the entry.

    Please ask more questions if you have them. I need more clarification on item 2 to help you with that one.

    Thanks for your reply, sorry I have been out of the country. On question 2 your answer answered my question.

    One more question, will all of these work with the personal license?

    Yes, the post fields come with the plugin at all purchase levels. The add-ons and priority support are the main price drivers for the other levels.

    @neomail - I've already responded to your other topic:

    We will close this issue as it's in the pre-purchase forums and is over 1 year old.
