So I installed Jetpack and activated a couple of features. Site Post plugin was working as expected. Obviously it’s hard for me to find the exact features and settings of those Jetpack features obitexa was using. So I really cannot tell if one of those causes the form to not appear.

Longpzo, I would recommend to do as obitexa suggested and disable your plugins one by one and see if this changes something. If you really find a plugin that conflicts with mine I would appreciate to hear about it because that would enable me to investigate further.

So since there was no new reply from you after one month I guess it’s resolved …

Ah, forgot to mark it as resolved …

Hi,

you have to edit display.php (it’s inside wp-content/plugins/djd-site-post/views). Look for this line:

<input type=”email” required=”required” id=”djd_site_post_guest_email” name=”djd_site_post_guest_email” maxlength=”30″ />

Should be around line no. 120.

Obviously you have to change maxlenght ??

Hi, inside the plugin’s settings uncheck “Hide WordPress Toolbar”.

ljcremer, I just visited your site and saw a stripped down site post form there. I didn’t want to use that form and try to enter a new post on your site just for testing purposes. So since a form is there does this mean it works for you now? If so, can you tell me what the problem actually was and how you fixed it? It’s just because this XML stuff seems to come up every now and then and I just cannot find the cause of this kind of problem. Actually I am thinking about rewriting this plugin without using xml, but this will be time consuming task I really would like to avoid.

Martin, if seen this shortcode on your page: [fep_submission_form] Did you change anything in code because the correct shortcode would be [djd-site-post]?

Hi, sorry for answering late, I was traveling a lot during the last couple of days/weeks. You mean you don’t receive an email notification? If that’s the case did you check your spam folder? Does any other email to the admin’s email address get through? The notification email is sent to the admin’s email account specified in WP’s general settings. Is everything ok with that?

To send the message the plugin uses WP’s wp_mail function. For this function to work, the settings SMTP and smtp_port (default: 25) need to be set in your php.ini file.

Hello longpzo,

sorry, I cannot open your pictures. Server resets connection.

Hi Obitexa,

I’ve just visited your website again and saw that the plugin seems to be working now. Care to tell me (and longpzo)what the problem was and how you finally fixed it?

Thanks for your suggestion. Sounds like a good idea. In the meantime at least for guest posts you can select a default category on the plugin’s settings page.

Mh, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Is the form just not appearing or do you receive any message?

I thought about featured images already and will include this functionality in the next release.

Sorry for my late reply, I am traveling right now…

Those fields appear only for guest posts. So make sure that the user is not logged in.

Hi Alex,

thanks for writing. No reason why the plugin shouldn’t support custom post types. If you are familiar with php source code you can try it yourself. There are three places in djd-site-post.php that need changes: Search for ‘post_type’ and change the lines you will find to

'post_type' => 'your-post-type',
