Hi, I am using the gravity form and the Update Post plugin. First of all, thanks for this great plugin!
One issue that I am finding is to do with custom fields of type: file upload. I use this field to upload multiple images.
I noticed that when I edit and save a post that has a custom field of type “file upload” and I don’t touch any previously uploaded images within this custom field, the image data doesn’t get re-inserted into the content template and all of a sudden gets stripped from the content template. The image data is still there withini the actual custom field itself. It’s just no longer inside the post body. (I am using the content template feature from gravity forms to fill in the main post body).
If I re-upload some new images and edit + save the post using this plugin, then the newly uploaded files does get pulled via the content template and thus inserted into the body. But then when I edit the post and leave the new images that I just uploaded as-is, the image data is all of a sudden removed again from the content template and the post body.
Any idea what would have caused this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

]]>Hi, I’m using the plugin with the “types” plugin also.
I create a form that creates a post with a lot of custom fields. But some custom fields have more than 1 instance, using repeating fields. Like this: https://wp-types.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-groups-of-repeating-fields-using-fields-tables/
When I try to update the post, the fields become populated with the same content (the last instance).
What can I do?
Tks

You may want to change that to

which shouldn’t throw the index error.

]]>Gravity Forms – Update Posts works pretty well, but I have a few odd situations. One is that I hand-craft my slugs in the Post editor.
So, when a user uses a form running this plugin to update posts, my handcrafted slug is overwritten by the WordPress default convention.
Can anyone show me how to prevent this, either by tweaking the plugin, a custom function or other means?
Many thanks.

]]>Hi all! I am using this plugin to make a form that allows subscribers to edit specific posts (I’m using it as a way for subscribers to submit photos so they get attached to a post. Then the admin can later go in and add them to the gallery for that page). However, this add-on respects the user capabilities, so I’m unable to allow the users to edit posts successfully. The form does work when logged in as admin.
I found on a forum that I can use a add_filter to make the plugin not respect capabilities so I can accomplish this. I tried adding the following hook to my functions.php in the theme, but no luck. I’m not totally sure where to add the code since the instructions weren’t clear, but I assumed it would be the functions.php.
add_filter(‘gform_update_post/public_edit’, ‘__return_true’);
If anyone can provide me with any direction at all on how to accomplish this, I will be eternally grateful. Desperate with project deadline approaching!! :p
A big thanks to the author for creating this very useful plugin.

]]>I figured I would share this:
The end goal: Add an “Edit” button/link at the bottom of each post that would redirect to the Gravity Forms update post page.
This is a sample URL to the form:
yourdomain.com/edit-post-test/
Here is a sample URL that passes post_id:
yourdomain.com/edit-post-test/?gform_post_id=1
What I did after creating the form:
1. Using Thesis Skin Editor I Added a “Hook Name” to the Post Box on the “Single” template (for single post display). The hook name I used was “gravity_edit”.
2. From WP dashboard I went to Appearance>Editor and added the code below into the functions.php file.
function gravity_edit() { ?>
<a href="https://yourdomain.com/edit-post-test/?gform_post_id=<?php echo get_the_ID( $post_id, 'custom_field_name', true ); ?>">Edit</a>
<?php
}
add_action('thesis_hook_post_box_gravity_edit_bottom', 'gravity_edit');That was it! Now when I view a post, I see “Edit” and once I click it I see that post and can edit it with Gravity Forms. Yeah!
Their is more I would like to do… like add permission to the form page… etc. but that’s all basic stuff we all know already.

I am developing a guest registration form. I pre fill a few details and send a link, to the page with a gravity form, to the guest to check the details and to fill in the open fields.
This all seem to work fine till I wanted to access the page with the form from in a browser where I was not logged in as admin. The field stayed empty.
When I submitted the form a new entry was created instead of updating the existing one.
Any idea of suggestions?

]]>The delete functionality is failing to delete the post, in my case the post is a page with a custom page template. When the delete button is clicked the only thing it does is clear the page template currently assigned to the default template.
I do have extra query parameters in the referring URL to the Gravity Form in additon to the “gform_post_id” parameter:
?parentId=362&fileTitle=F104&buyer=10&seller=12&realtor=9&loanOfficer=11&gform_post_id=490
I do this to populate fields in the gravity form.
However I have other posts (pages) I send with the gform_post_id parameter to the gravity form and no other parameters and it does the same thing when trying to delete, just resets the page template to the default template.
I have reviewed the plugin’s code and do not see where this could be happening the code appears to be accurate, so there must be something with using custom page template that it does not like.

now i wanted to give them a option to also edit their submitted articles via frontend and tried this plugin.
don′t know if this is only on my installation, but with subscriber rights, articles do not show up in edit form, only if i give users more than subscriber rights (what makes no sense on my installation because i don′t want them to have access to the backend,..)
but the more critical issue i found is that users not only are able to edit their own articles, they are able to edit all articles. (i used the “edit this article” link in the single template file).
anyone else? is this only on my site, misconfigured gf, or is this a bug?
