Based on a conversation I had on Tuesday there appeared to be a need to generate a tag cloud1 from Gravity Forms responses. I didn’t see any immediate solutions after browsing for plugins. Granted, I could have jerry rigged something by creating posts and doing something weird where I added the words as tags . […]

When you use Gravity Forms to make a post, you can provision ACF fields but what I found was that the data wasn’t showing up correctly until I manually went and updated the created post. I tried using the WordPress wp_update_post() function but found that didn’t do it. I ended up taking a look at […]
This scenario is fairly specific, Gravity Forms to post and adding a specific featured image based on a form field but the ease of assigning a featured image via the media post ID is hand elsewhere and it’s always nice to document more ways to tweak Gravity Forms.

I do a fair amount of Gravity Forms to posts. Many times those posts have files, mainly images, associated with them that I’d like to have embedded in the post. Gravity Forms did some changes a while back to prevent people from guessing where files are (which is good) but the secure URL change also […]
On rampages we only have the ability to send out emails from rampages.us addresses. This caused a bit of confusion for me when our Gravity Forms email notifications stopped working.1 It seems like Gravity Forms now defaults to send emails from the form admin’s email address. In our case, that’s a vcu.edu domain . . […]
A quick little plugin that sets the password for posts created via Gravity Forms. This came about as the result of a faculty request today. In this case it’ll grab the first form field and use that for the password. You could hardcode it into the plugin itself but I thought this gave a bit […]
