wp_insert_post function

    Two quick questions:

    1. Can I use multiple post_content fields on one form? (only one of them shows when it is posted)

    2. After a user submits a post is it possible to redirect them to a different page. (To avoid spam)

    Example:

    <p style="font-size: 20px;">(required) <br /> [text* post_title] <br/>
<table width="496">
<td><p style="font-size: 14px;"><font color="#FF0000">*</font>(required) <br/>
   [textarea* post_content 25x10] <br/></p>
<td><p style="font-size: 14px;"><font color="#FF0000">*</font>(required) <br/>
   [textarea* post_content 25x10] <br/></p>

</table>

[submit "Post"] <br/>

    1. No I don’t think you can have a form work right with two fields having the same field name

    2. If you are using CF7 or FSCF, then you would need to use those plugins to forward to a new page after successful submission. If writing your own form HTML, you could have the form submit to a different page and have the [capture-form-to-post] short code on that second page to capture the form submission.

    My aim is to have two [textarea post_content] side by side like the example above(an A. and B. textarea); would this be possible?

    No because:

    1. In a form, every field must have a different unique name. Here you have two fields named “post_content”. Only one of them gets submitted by the browser.

    2. The plugin only captured the post_content field.

    Thanks for the feed back…

    I’ll mark this topic as resolved.
