Formidable Forms can create a custom post with blocks. I'm releasing a new application this week where the Create Post add-on applies a condition to create either a Block or Classic post. When you customize post content, you use a view to output the content to create the post or page. If you select "Create new view" as the source of the content, the add-on creates a Classic view, which you then edit as any other view. You can create a Visual View in advance and select that view as the output generator. I'll be releasing a tutorial alongside our new product that teaches how to create block based content with a view. It's not difficult.

Thanks for reply.
Please let me know where I can find this add-on once it is released.
Thanks.

replied 2 years ago Thank you for your enthusiasm. I'm planning on releasing the W3C Accessibility Statement Generator for Formidable Forms sometime today. We're in the final testing phase, but it is code complete. It is an Application, not an add-on. I misspoke in my original reply when I said it was an add-on. Add-ons and Applications are distinctly different. The cost for this Application is $49 USD.
The tutorial that explains how to create FSE Block output from the Create Post add-on will be released at the same time. Following the tutorial, you can do this yourself.

replied 1 year ago Is there a video tutorial available for creating a custom post with blocks now? I am really struggling with the options in the Create Post add-on with this specific task. It's not very informative and I think I have duplicated the custom content in both the Classic View and the custom view I created for my posts. I can find no real clear tutorials.

replied 1 year ago I haven't had time to do a tutorial, but using blocks with Formidable is fairly easy, but not in a block builder type of way. What are blocks? Blocks are simply commented HTML snippets. When I build a block page or CPT with Formidable, I first draw the content as I envision it in a standard post or page. Then I view the source to copy and paste it in a CPT or View. Once the HTML is copied over, you can "Formidable-ize" it by adding your field ids or keys as normal.

replied 1 year ago That makes sense Victor. Thank you so much for your reply. I will try that method 🙂
