Gravity Wiz Weekly #112

Greetings, wizards. 🙂

As the pandemnic begins to diminish and the summer begins to shine, many of us are finally peeking out from the lovely rocks we’ve been living under. Well, let me tell you the biggest thing you missed…

File Upload Pro 1.0 is live!

This release builds on a very successful beta with a focus on advanced cropping options, image optimizations, and sorting. Make sure to read the release post for the full scoop. More details on this release here.

Update Posts with Gravity Forms

There’s been a great need in the community for a way to update posts with Gravity Forms. What started as a barebones stop-gap has quickly become a robust post updating solution.

Our Update Posts snippet can now handling custom fields, taxonomies (e.g. categories, tags, etc), and even mapping images/files to ACF Image, File, and Gallery fields. The snippet integrates tightly with Populate Anything to handle populating existing post data and then it updates all of the post details on submission.

Give your users the ability to update their posts directly on the front end. And don’t forget to let us know which features we should add next!

Alright, wizards. Until next week. ⚡️
