Use of Gravity so client can edit page without changing html

    There are similar questions already on this forum but I am not clear whether the following has been answered.
    I am looking for a way that I can have clients edit pages I have created in wordpress without the problems inherent in the use of the visual editor i.e. without them inadvertently, when changing content in visual editor, changing the html I have written.

    Can Gravity do that and if not does anyone know of a way to do this?

    Thanks

  2. Gravity Forms does not currently edit pages and posts out of the box. It's not a built in feature. Currently it can only create form entries and WordPress Posts if you configure it to do so.

    It can create custom post types and pages, but only through hook usage or the use of the 3rd party add-on here:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/

    However, this only would then create posts and pages. It wouldn't achieve what you want which is the ability to edit existing posts and pages. That can only be done by writing a customization through the use of hooks/filters. So it's possible, but it's not a built in feature and requires custom code to implement it.

    The ability to display and edit entries on the front end of your site, as well as the ability to edit posts is a feature we plan on introducing in the future. It's on our roadmap and something that will be coming in the new year.
