By Gravity Forms Published March 27, 2025

Gravity Forms is pleased to announce the release of the Advanced Post Creation Add-On v1.5. This update contains several updates and fixes, including support for Gravity Flow and Gravity Forms…

• Added a setting to disable auto-formatting for the post content field.
• Added support for WebP images as featured images.
• AF: Updated process_feed() return value for compatibility with Gravity Forms 2.9.4, so the framework can save the feed status to the entry meta.

Create WordPress Posts From Form Entry Submissions

The Gravity Forms Advanced Post Creation Add-On lets you turn form entry submissions into posts and pages on your WordPress website.

If you’d like to allow visitors to your site to publish content on your blog without assigning them a user account or giving them access to your WordPress dashboard, then this add-on makes that possible.

The main features of the add-on include:

• Works With Any Available Post Type – In addition to creating standard posts and pages, the Advanced Post Creation Add-On works with any registered custom post type on your WordPress site, including WooCommerce Products.
• Assign Taxonomies to Posts – Categories, tags, and any other taxonomies on your site can be assigned to the posts as they’re created.
• Merge Tags Support – As both the post title and content support merge tags, you can automatically fill the post with data from any of the form fields, allowing you to create powerful post templates.
• Map Custom Fields – The custom fields support allows you to use field values or merge tags to map custom fields to specific parts of the post.
• Add Uploaded Files to the Media Library – Files uploaded via your forms can also be automatically added to the Media Library and attached to the posts that are created.
• Conditional Logic Support – Use conditional logic to control whether a new post should be created, based on the contents of the form entry.
