Entries Saving As Blog Posts? [RESOLVED]

I’ve worked with Gravity Forms in the past and never ran into this. I understand that GF saves entries to the database. That’s not my problem. My problem is that every entry of every form is being saved as a drafted blog post. I am not able to locate the settings for this but we need it turned off. Please help!

Hi there,

I suspect the form might be triggering post creation. To confirm, you can go to Form Settings → Post Creation and if you find any feed there, delete it as shown in the screenshot below.

After deleting the feed, the form should no longer create posts for each entry.

Give it a try, and let me know how that goes! :smile:

That was the first thing I looked for. The only options I see on most of the forms that are doing this are the default (top four) options in settings. Is it possible that at one time it was turned on and now it’s no longer installed but the function is still there?

Disable all third-party Gravity Forms plugins and also disable the Code Snippets plugin if you have it. Then try to reproduce the issue.

If the problem persists, please follow the article below to export the form and send it to me via any file-sharing website or you can try https://easyupload.io/.

You probably have a Post field type added to your form. This will automatically create a post on form submission.

You will need to delete these fields to prevent this behaviour (note: that will also delete any entry data associated with that field).

@Jake_Jackson this was it! These forms were built by another developer and I was so confused. Didn’t even think about checking the field types.
