Yes it is better for the users to register to submit posts. Using email validation or social login is even better as this way you restrict spamming bots from posting a lot of unwanted content like links to harmful websites.

Also, this is not the appropriate forum for such a question.

The versatile custom fields of pods would greatly increase the versatility of how one could associate taxonomies to post types and therefore display a filtered list of records. I would like to use an autocomplete field rather than radio or dropdown fields. I would like to know if the following options of doing this are possible and which is the best:

Option 1

Check the required taxonomies in Associated Taxonomies under Advanced Options in the custom post type’s pod edit screen.
Hide the default WordPress taxonomy meta-boxes using Adminimize.
Use pods’ custom relationship fields and relate to the taxonomies.
…This is the code I need advice and help to implement…
Read the data from the pods’ taxonomy relationship fields.
Inject the data into the hidden default WordPress taxonomy meta-boxes i.e. where the data is traditionally saved in the db
-Read and inject the taxonomy data as the post type is saved.

Option 2

Create taxonomies with custom fields related to the post types.
Create post types with custom fields related to the taxonomies.
-Bidirectional relationship between the post types and taxonomies.
-No default WordPress association between the post types and taxonomies.
…This is the code I need advice and help to implement…
Read the data on related post types from the taxonomy relationship fields.
Display links to the post types on the taxonomy page.

I can also see ‘Theme Preview’ as the site title. Can you see ‘Worth A Thousand Words’ above ‘Boat.’ on the first masonry tile?
