here is form —

<p>Your Name (required)

<p>Your Email (required)
[email* your-email] </p>

<p>Subject
[text your-subject] </p>

<p>Your Message

<label>Enter the code: [captchac captcha-600 size:m]</label>
[captchar captcha-600]

<p>[submit “Send”]</p>
[dynamichidden post_status “pending”]

There is no post_title and post_content. This worked for me:

Your Name (required)
    [text* your-name]
Your Email (required)
    [email* your-email]
Subject
    [text post_title]
Your Message
    [textarea post_content]
Check box (required)
  [checkbox* post_category_name "brags-comments-students"]
Enter the code: [captchac captcha-600 size:m]
[captchar captcha-600]
[submit "Send"]
[dynamichidden post_status "pending"]

hi
nope .. it is not sending pending email and the check box with the post category not showing up …
would like it to post to a certain category and stay pending approval …
the other this is when i approve it shows as admin was author … would like it to show true author …

thanks for your help :>)

I’m pushing version 0.6 in which it should set the post author to be the person who is logged in when submitting the form. The person must be logged in for this to work, obviously.

is there a way to show author if not logged in??? i am trying to get away from log in option on this particular site ..

also anyway to get ride of comments 0?

thanks for your help and input .. i like the plug in …
:>)

No way to ID the author without being logged in. Even if it did, they would have to is themselves on your form and there is no way to verify they are who they claim to be.

hi again ..
well pits …
is there a way to add a line so author will show and admin (the one that approved the post) will not ???

i don’t care if i can verify how they claim …

If you put in a field “post_author_name” they can self-identify. But they have to enter a valid login name from your site for it to work.

well pits ..

do you know of any plug in that would work for me .. i would like to have a guest without logging be able to comment etc ..

is there anyway to get ride of comments 0?

If you want “guest” make a “guest” user in WP, then in your form create a hidden field with name “post_author_default” value “guest”

The 0 comments: may will work: hidden field “comment_status” value “closed”. See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post

thanks much … will look into both ..
have a great weekend ..
