Submitting a form creates a new blank draft post?

This is weird. Whenever I submit a form, it creates a new blank draft post .....

I am not currently not emailing the form submission results to anywhere. Instead I am redirecting to a .php page using "Pass Field Data Via Query String". That works great.

The other weird thing is the category the post gets put into is totally random. Currently i have three draft posts - one says "-" for the category, one says "uncategorized", and one says "Thai IDN News", which is the single category I have.

Any idea why these draft posts are being created? I have latest versions of Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms ML and WPML.

There is a clue ... I have PHP debug on and there is a notice coming up when I hit submit saying something about ... Undefined Index: PostAuthor and the code is inside gravityforms plugin code. But its only up for half a second so very hard for me to make out the entire line, but the code is in gravityforms/forms_model.php on line 1443.

Hope that helps diagnose the issue!

If it helps, the shortcode I am using is:

[gravityform id="4" title=false description=false ajax=true]

Perhaps there is something "wrong" with that ....

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately its just a single field form, the field being of the type "single text line":

Its just to allow a keyword to be input, a search term if you like. There are no images. The form button is text, not an image.

Perhaps there are some other fields in the form that are somehow "hidden" or I deleted and are still "attached" somehow? Is there any way to detect that? I'm happy looking at stuff in the DB if that helps. Whatever is easiest.

The only other thing I can think is this is using Gravity Forms Multi-lingual (Version 0.9.3) - perhaps there is some issue there, a bug even?

Ah yes of course, sorry, I didn't need that wpcf-search in there at all. I just wanted to pass a URL parameter called "keyword" into a search tool. I've changed it to a single text field and all is well. Many thanks.

Just one further question. I didn't even know before you could use Gravity Forms to auto-generate posts. Is it possible to do that as a "background operation" i.e. the user never even being aware of it, and have the post made public as well. Its for another section of the site, where people can make offers on domains, I would like to use those offer submissions to create published new pages. Possible?
