I tested it with out the form and it worked fine. but for somereason i cant seem to get it to work with the form. any ideas?
also what is supposed to go in the action for the form?
thanks for the help.
This should work.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['new_post']) == '1') {
$post_title = $_POST['post_title'];
$post_category = $_POST['cat'];
$post_content = $_POST['post_content'];
$new_post = array(
'ID' => '',
'post_author' => $user->ID,
'post_category' => array($post_category),
'post_content' => $post_content,
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);
// This will redirect you to the newly created post
$post = get_post($post_id);
wp_redirect($post->guid);
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="post_title" size="45" id="input-title"/>
<?php wp_dropdown_categories('orderby=name&hide_empty=0&exclude=1&hierarchical=1'); ?>
<textarea rows="5" name="post_content" cols="66" id="text-desc"></textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="new_post" value="1"/>
<input class="subput round" type="submit" name="submit" value="Post"/>
</form>
If input with name new_post and value of 0 then add the post. No action needed for the form, but you should keep the PHP part on the top of the header.
leave the form action blank means it will flow form data from entry point of application to the current url in address bar
<form method="post" action="">
Thanks
