I am trying to add a form where users can submit post from front-end.
I am Following this tutorial:
http:// wpshout.com/wordpress-submit-posts-from-frontend/
What I am doing is adding this code to one of my page-template. The form shows up alright but when I click on the submit button it gives me “Page not found error“
Many of the commenter saying it is not working.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Is the code incomplete?has flaws? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Towfiq I.
<?php $postTitle = $_POST['post_title'];
$post = $_POST['post'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
if(isset($submit)){
global $user_ID;
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $postTitle,
'post_content' => $post,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'post_author' => $user_ID,
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_category' => array(0)
);
wp_insert_post($new_post);
}
?>

I found this at Themeforest it’s working fine,
you can do a lot of things with this, you have to add some extra code to check if a user is logged in or whatever you want to do,
In the other hand you have to search in the WordPress plugins repo to find out some great plugins,
Search for “frontend”
hope it helps
