📌 Post Status​

Choose what status the post should have after submission:

  • Draft (default): Saves the post as a draft
  • Pending Review: Marks the post for admin review
  • Publish: Instantly publishes the post

🔗 Redirect URL After Submission​

Optional. Add a custom URL to redirect users after submitting the form.

  • Leave it blank to keep the user on the same page
  • You can redirect to a “Thank You” or confirmation page

✅ Success Message​

Custom message shown when a post is submitted successfully.

Example:

Your post has been submitted successfully!

❌ Error Message​

Message displayed if the post submission fails due to an error.

Example:

Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.

🧠 Require Unique Post Title​

Toggle this option if you want to prevent duplicate post titles from being submitted.

Choose how the fields are displayed on the submission form:

  • 1 Column: All fields are stacked vertically
  • 2 Columns: Fields are displayed side by side in two columns (better for desktop UI)

Click the Save Settings button at the bottom right of the page to apply any changes.

🛠 Troubleshooting​

  • Post not publishing? Double-check that you selected Publish as the Post Status
  • Redirect not working? Ensure you entered a valid URL starting with http:// or https://
  • Layout looks broken? Check your theme or custom CSS — some styles may override the form layout
