How To Configure “Form To Post” Add-On

Form To Post Add-On allows you to create posts using the forms. This add-on has support for custom post types, custom taxonomies, and custom fields.

See below a simple example:

  1. Add a One Line Input field to your form, for accepting Post Title. Label this field Name. Now add a Textarea field, for accepting Post Content. Label this field Plot Summary.
  2. Now we add a Dropdown field, which allows users to select the category. In this field, we add available categories to the Options column, in this format:
    23==Action
    Here, 23 is the category ID, and Action is what the user sees when he makes a selection
    form-post-1
  3. Now we add a Checkbox field, for our custom taxonomy, Actors. We label this field Actors:
    actors
  4. Now go to Add-Ons -> Form To Post. Remember the label of our Post Title field? Name. To map Post Title to this field, we type in [Name] in the column Post Title:
    basic
    And the same for Custom Taxonomies, which would include the Category and Actors fields:
    custom
  5. That’s it. Now click on Preview and try it out!
