On the 123FormBuilder form creator<\/a>, you can create new posts on your WordPress site through form submissions. You’ll need the 123FormBuilder plugin for WordPress and the steps described below to create a new post after each submission. To create posts through form submissions, go to the Integrations<\/b> section of your form, and add WordPress<\/b>. The application box will drop as seen in the image below:<\/p>\n

\"create<\/p>\n

1. Provide the URL of your WordPress blog and click on Connect to WordPress<\/b>.<\/p>\n

2. If the 123FormBuilder plugin is not yet installed on your WordPress account, a frame will pop up on the screen as seen below. Click on Install & activate<\/b> and you’ll be redirected on WordPress to access your account to install and activate the 123FormBuilder plugin. After that, return to the frame and press Refresh<\/b>. If the plugin was already installed before this step, you’ll be redirected to the WordPress Posts<\/b> customization lightbox, to map form fields with WordPress post fields.<\/p>\n

Note<\/em><\/u>: If you have already installed the 123FormBuilder plugin on your WordPress site, but get this frame on screen, make sure the plugin has been activated and hit Refresh<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"create<\/p>\n

3. In WordPress Posts<\/b> \u2192 Global Settings<\/b>, set the author of the posts, the status of the posts, the posts’ format, and if the respective posts accept comments or not. These settings are applied for all submissions on the form. Only WordPress users can be selected as post authors.<\/p>\n

\"create<\/p>\n

4. In WordPress Posts<\/b> \u2192 Default Post Fields<\/b>, you can provide a default value or associate form fields to the title of the post, content, excerpt, tags, and featured image. You can only associate File Upload<\/b> fields to Featured Image<\/b>. Tags are separated either by a comma or by the Enter<\/em> key of your keyboard.<\/p>\n

5. Now you have to select the categories where the posts will be grouped in. You can either set all posts to be grouped in the same categories or allow form users to select the categories before submission.<\/p>\n
