How to Connect to CPT

  • Hello,

    We have installed the addon and are trying to connect a form to update a custom post type we have. Instead, it seems that the form is making a new regular post. I’m a little unclear on how we link the form to the custom post type to update. I am adding the {post_id} in the Target Post Settings but I’m not sure if that is correct.

    Thank you!

    Hi Stephanie,

    the plugin makes no distinction between regular posts and custom post types. You just need to provide correct post id for it to work.

    – You can enter post id number manually
    – You can enter form field that contains post id using merge tag ({} button)
    – 1.1+ You can use {current_post_id} to update current post where the form is located

    I think you tried last one, but used {post_id} instead of {current_post_id}.

    Please let me know if that works!

    Sorry, but I must be missing something. I need to perform updates on CPT posts. The user selects the post, and then I open a page with the content of the post in the Gravity Form post body. I have NO IDEA what the post ID is going to be before the user selects a post so I can’t fill in the “postID” field in the settings!
    What am I missing?

    Hi lwoods, you can use {} button (to the right of the post id field) to insert the form field value via gravity forms merge tag.

    Hi Alex,

    I have a gravity form at here: https://woocommerce-659373-2481884.cloudwaysapps.com/submit-course-advanced

    I want to edit my posts on this form. How can I do it? I’m a unclear on how we link the form. I added the {post_id} in the Target Post Settings of this form, but I’m not sure if that is correct.

    Can you help me?
