Updating post

  1. I am using a third party plugin (gravity forms - update post) to let users modify the posts that they have already created.

    Gravity forms in updating the main record in the wp-posts table. In the wp-postmeta however, rather than editing/updating the other fields, it is adding a complete new set of meta data. So I may have one entry for the form (say ID 1234 in wp-posts) and then several of the same entries in the wp-postmeta (ex: meta-key Start_Time is repeated 2 or 3 times depending on how many times the form was updated).

    Is there a way to get gravity forms to either update the meta data instead of creating all new records, or have it create a new record in the posts table and set the post_parent to the original post?

  2. If the original post is being updated by the plugin (Gravity Forms Update Post http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-update-post/ ), it seems that that plugin should handle updating the postmeta data as well? Since Gravity Forms does not update posts, I think the issue lies with this additional plugin you're using. Have you contacted their support and explained the situation?
