I am trying to disable the entry creation for a gravity form I have on my WordPress website. The form consists of username/password for another application (not WordPress) and I do not want it to list/create entries in the WordPress database every time this form is used. I have a dashboard widget also which displays all forms in the website as well as all the entries of each. I am trying to find a way to either hide the form entirely from the widget or not create entries at all.
I tried the following hook,thinking it would stop creating entries.
add_filter("gform_disable_post_creation", "disable_post_creation", 10, 3);
function disable_post_creation($is_disabled, $form, $entry){
return true;
}
But this isn't working. Does anyone know of a way I can hide the form or disable entry creation for this specific form?
While you can’t currently prevent Gravity Forms from creating an entry, you can get the same desired outcome by automatically deleting the entry after the form has finished submitting using the gform_after_submission_{$form['id']} action hook and the Gravity Forms API.
Here's a full tutorial on how to do it manually (disclaimer: I wrote it):
https://gravityplus.pro/how-to/prevent-gravity-forms-entry-creation/
That tutorial also has a link to the plugin I wrote that allows you to simply check a box on the Form Settings page to prevent entry creation and everything is handled for you.

I am using WordPress for building my own website, And I created a form using WP form plugin and users are supposed to fill this form after entering the site and I want parts of the form to be filled automatically for them according to the login information, i.e. name.
So my question is, how can I do this?
You can use jquery or javascript, take ID of that field and run ajax on page load you will get info of use logged in and put that in your field by using jquery parameter .val()
I have a site in Wordpress.
The functionality I need is such that, I can create 'users' of the site. These users have no purpose editing the Wordpress site in any way, and don't need to know we're even using the wordpress platform.
These users need to be able to edit their contact info and upload/view/swap out their own resume, using a page that I will build for them (not the wp-admin dashboard in any way). This resume will be PDFs and WordDocs.
At first I thought I'd just use the built in Wordpress Users and Roles that Wordpress offers. However, I'm not sure how I would attach resumes to that user, and let that user edit their own resume. I know I can use the 'user_contactmethods' hook to attach basic fields. However, I'd be trying to attach a link to a file that Wordpress hosts, and would need to be able to replace that file on a whim, in php. Also, my goal is to prevent them from ever using the Wordpress dashboard or editing tools.
Next, I thought I could create a custom post type for a 'SiteUser'. That would make it easy to manage a PDF/WordDoc attached to that post type. Also, that user wouldn't have any way to access the Wordpress stuff. Before I do that though, I wanted to ask on here if this really is the right way to do this.
This solution feels hacky.
Can I get some proposed solutions to this problem that could be perceived as 'the proper way'?
Thanks
Here is a rough idea of what you are looking to do.
Step 1
Create the user role for these new users
Step 2
Set the permission for them and disable backend access and redirect all access of those roles to a custom page /account/
Step 3
Use Advance custom fields plugin to create some custom fields on the user meta. (text, file, image)
Step 4
Apply some login logic/form and Link to a /account/edit-info/ custom page with the acf frontend form. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/create-a-front-end-form/
Step 5
Use these info to display somewhere on the /account/ page
Optional
Using gravity forms instead to manage user data entry gives better control but requires more coding, and a better user experience.
Front-end Admin Steps
Repeat Step 1-2
Loop site user and list them and their custom field files Have a button that opens a Gravity form with the user ID text field pre-populated and hidden, and have a file uploader element.
Add backend hooks after validation directly replace the user meta
containing the file path or ID (however you choice to store it in
Advance custom fields)
I've created a custom email notification for a Gravity Forms form but I was wondering if it is possible to use the same custom format that I have created to display the entry details from within Wordpress?
I have searched in SO and Google but no one seems to have the answer - they are mostly about how to show the entry data on the front-end.
I could just go to the entry_details.php file and modify it but I was wondering if there is a proper way of doing it.
Anyone have any ideas?
I got in contact with Gravity Forms and they have advised me the following:
"I'm afraid the layout of the entry detail page is not customizable. The recommendation would be that you create your own custom page outside of Gravity Forms, and use the GFAPI to get the entries for display."
For now it looks like we can create an external page and format how we like but not the actual Entry Details page in the CMS.
I'm completely new to the whole WordPress scene so I kind of don't know the "WordPress way" of doing the desired task:
Create a form where a user would fill in some details (such as name, surname, upload a video or post a youtube iframe link)
Submit it, once it's done - an admin must verify that everything has been filled out correctly and after that the video can be seen on the website.
Should I write a plugin of some sort that would do that or how does it happen?
Thank you.
The Gravity Forms plugin allows you to do exactly what you're looking to do. With it, you can set up a form that creates a post and sets it to be 'Pending Review' in WordPress. This tutorial contains everything you need to know about what you'll need to do.
If you want to create a Custom Post Type (ie. 'User Page') to better separate user submissions, you'll need to employ this special add-on (as mentioned in the tutorial above).
I am using one plugin known as Wp store Locator which is not based on custom post type.So that plugin gives one list of store as output and it has in built template for it.I have modified that plugin in a such way that on click of More Details it should take me to detail page of that particular clicked store.
I have built link like this localhost/wordpress/?wpsl-id=3.
So my question is that how can I show only on particular store? I have built one template in that plugin but I don't have any idea how can I use that.
Any help from Wp Store Locator user would be highly appericiated.
