<p><strong>Requires PHP 5.3 or greater</strong></p>
<p>Allows you to use Gravity Forms to update any post on the front end. If you use the “Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types”, you can even update custom post types and use custom taxonomies.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Supports custom field file uploading and deletion with thumbnails or mime type icons for existing items.</li>
<li>Fixed a bugs on multi selects and checkboxes.</li>
<li>Fixed bug on Categories.</li>
<li>Completely removed the ability to delete posts.</li>
<li>There are some filters to customize things now.</li>
<li>Adds non-query-var template method to setup a form.</li>
<li>Adds a really basic shortcode to setup a form (UPDATE: This is still supported, but it is better to use the addition, below, to the gravityform shortcode).</li>
<li>Adds an additional attribute to the gravityform shortcode: “update”</li>
</ul>
<h4>SHORTCODE</h4>
<pre><code>[gravityform id="1" update] // Loads current post for editing

[gravityform id="1" update="34"] // Loads post where ID=34 for editing
</code></pre>
<p>We worked with Rocketgenius, makers of Gravity Forms, to get a small upgrade added that allows us to extend their shortcode, so now you can simply add the “update” attribute to the normal “gravityform” shortcode. If you only add “update”, it will load the current post in to update. If you add an integer to the update attribute, it will use that to load a post by its ID.</p>
<h4>URL QUERY VARIABLE</h4>
<ol>
<li>At the heart, it is pretty similar to how it was, but now there is a nonce required to activate it.</li>
<li>
<p>So you should use the action to create your links.</p>
<p>do_action(‘gform_update_post/edit_link’);</p>
<p>do_action(‘gform_update_post/edit_link’, array(<br />
    ‘post_id’ => $post->ID,<br />
    ‘url’     => home_url(‘/edit_post/’),<br />
) );</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Arguments (query string or array)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>post_id</code> (int) (optional) The id of the post you want to edit. Default: global $post->ID</li>
<li><code>url</code> (string|int) (optional) Either the full url of the page where your edit form resides, or an id for the page/post where the edit form resides. Default: get_permalink()</li>
<li><code>text</code> (string) (optional) The link text. Default: “Edit Post”</li>
<li><code>title</code> (string) (optional) The title attribute of the anchor tag. Default: (text) parameter</li>
</ul>
<h3>Get just the URL</h3>
<p>This will return a basic edit url</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters('gform_update_post/edit_url', '');
</code></pre>
<p>Specify post to edit (post_id) and post that holds the edit form (url)</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters('gform_update_post/edit_url', 1, home_url('/edit_post/'));
</code></pre>
<h3>Shortcode to show the edit link</h3>
<pre><code>[gform_update_post_edit_link]
</code></pre>
<p>Specify post to edit (post_id) and post that holds the edit form (url)<br />
    [gform_update_post_edit_link post_id=1 url=6]</p>
<h4>IN TEMPLATE</h4>
<p>You can use the action to force a form show a specific post:</p>
<pre><code>do_action('gform_update_post/setup_form');

do_action('gform_update_post/setup_form', $post->ID);

do_action('gform_update_post/setup_form', array('post_id' => $post->ID, 'form_id' => $form_id));
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>post_id</code> (int|array) (optional) The id of the post you want to edit or an array with post id and/or form id. This allows you to specify the form id, so that update functionality does not get applied to other forms on the page. Default: global $post->ID</li>
</ul>

<p>Updating your articles is important to keep them fresh and to help maintain their rankings in Google and other search engines. But if you have a large site with hundreds of posts, it may be hard to keep track of all your articles and when they were last updated.</p>
<p>With Content Freshness, you can easily see which articles are in need of an update. You will see the dates when they were last modified, so that you can update them accordingly. You can select the timeframe for content updating – whether 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year (the default is 6 months).</p>
<p>If your website is already added to Google Search Console, you can choose to activate the GSC Performance option. Use it to check your individual post’s search results performance in Google Search Console before you update your articles.</p>


Content Freshness

Keep your content fresh and up to date! Content Freshness plugin shows a list of posts that have not been updated for a set period of time.
