Thank you! As a very novice ‘web designer’, and i use that title very loosely lol, this was so easy to understand. You have a new subscriber!

This is very helpful and works well. Is there a way for users to embed an Adobe Spark/Express page into a blog post please?

@wpforms Ай бұрын

For Adobe spark, unless they changed their interface you should be able to go to the Share section and select embed to embed the page :)

Am I missing something? How do you assign the new post to a category? I didn't see anything about matching the category field to anything else.

@wpforms 2 жыл бұрын

You would want to take a look at 7:30 in the video for how the category is selected :)

@@wpforms I can't buy this plugin if i don't know if it works in the way this guy describes. Are you kidding me $300 not knowing if the function works!? To post a video to a page when users upload the video through the upload button.

@@soundvector1 yeah, it's insane. The company that owns this plugin and many others, is one I would avoid. They scam. I had to deal with one of their plugins where they tried to steal licenses back from me since I didn't use them in a time period. .. When I asked about it, they pointed to the 2023 TOS and so I had to point them to the 2019 TOS... they decided to give me a window of 3 months to use my remaining licenses or they will f*ck me again.************** AVOID THESE CLOWNS!

why do you not let us decide the layout of the submission data ? Title, excerpt, featured image, extra images uploaded, post body content, usernickname (if anonymous user) user website (overrides the user profile), then then the zip file with a link to download it ? You CHARGE ALOT of money to half arse this.
