There are two methods for generating a link to a post created by Gravity Forms. Both methods are intended for use in Gravity Forms’ confirmations and notifications (and another other place merge tags are support post-submission).
If you are automatically publishing user submitted posts, this is helpful for providing a link immediately to the user where they can preview their newly created post.
1. Short Link
This method requires no custom code and uses the default {post_id} merge tag.
<a href="http://yoursite.com/?p={post_id}">Post Title</a>
2. Permalink
This method requires some custom code which adds support for the {post_permalink}. The code also makes this merge tag available for selection in the merge tag list
<a href="{post_permalink}">{Post Title:1}</a>
Step by Step
- Click the “Download Code” button above. It will open the “raw” code in a new tab.
- Select all of the code and copy and paste it into your theme’s functions.php file or as a snippet via a plugin like Code Snippets.
- Go to your Confirmation or Notification and select the “Post Permalink” option from the merge tag list (see the screenshot above).
