Introducing the Official Advanced Post Creation Add-On v1.0

By Gravity Forms Published July 26, 2021

Gravity Forms is excited to announce the official launch of the Advanced Post Creation Add-On. Although this add-on has been around for a while, last week saw it throw off its ‘beta’ label, and become a fully-fledged Gravity Forms Add-On!

Despite it’s previous beta status, Advanced Post Creation is a popular add-on among the Gravity Forms community, and it’s easy to see why. With this advanced add-on, you can easily automate the publishing of user-submitted content to your site, creating a new post or page for each form submission. Let’s find out more…

Gravity Forms Advanced Post Creation Add-On

With the Gravity Forms Advanced Post Creation Add-On, you can give users the power to create and submit their own content without giving them access to your WordPress dashboard.

If your site relies on user-submitted content, copying and pasting new submissions into WordPress pages and posts can become incredibly time consuming. So it’s smart to set up an automation that handles all the busy work for you.

Here are some examples of when Advanced Post Creation may come in handy…

• You want users to submit ads for a job board
• You want users to submit their information to a directory
• You want guest posters to submit their articles
• You want customers to submit products to your eCommerce store for you to sell
• You want users to submit events to a calendar
• You want users to submit documents that other users can access

Top Features

With the Advanced Post Creation Add-On, you’re not limited to creating only standard posts and pages. Posts can be created using any registered custom post type on your WordPress site. You can also assign terms from any of the taxonomies registered to your selected post type, including tags and categories.

Both the post title and content support merge tags, providing the ability to create powerful post templates that populate data from all throughout your form. Files uploaded to your forms can also be automatically added to the Media Library and attached to your created posts.

And of course, Advanced Post Creation works seamlessly with our built-in conditional logic feature, allowing you to set rules as to if and when a form submission is turned into user-facing content.
