Heyya, I’m wondering if Gravity Forms has a native way uploading images from a form submission to the Wordpress library yet?
I know [Gravity Wiz has a plugin just for this](https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-media-library/) but, I’m just trying to be as lightweight as possible …fewer plugins the better.
Thanks!

Hi @vitamineg, is the form intended to create a post or just a regular entry?

Intended to create a post.

If you use Gravity Forms core Post Creation feature, only the Post Image field type is attached to the media library: [https://docs.gravityforms.com/post-image/](https://docs.gravityforms.com/post-image/)
If that doesn’t fit your needs and you want to stick to the core functionality, you can use the [gform\_after\_create\_post](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_after_create_post/) hook that runs just after the post creation, and the media\_sideload\_image() WP core function [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function\_Reference/media\_sideload\_image](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/media_sideload_image) to attach the files uploaded to the post.
The hook provides you the information that you need to pass to the media\_sideload\_image() function, the [$entry object](https://docs.gravityforms.com/entry-object/) from where you can grab the values of the fields (the URL to the file) and the $post\_id
Or if you have an Elite license, the Advanced Post Creation add-on [https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/advanced-post-creation/](https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/advanced-post-creation/) lets you attach to the media library files uploaded with any standard upload field [https://docs.gravityforms.com/creating-a-feed-for-the-advanced-post-creation-add-on/#post-content](https://docs.gravityforms.com/creating-a-feed-for-the-advanced-post-creation-add-on/#post-content)

Thank you @sacom. I think that’s what I need.
