Choose post format with front end publisher?

is humor a valid category? Are you sure it’s valid slug? It should make the post in humor category automatically if so.

It is a valid category but it still doesn’t put posts in there by default.

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘
[userpro template=publish
publish_button_primary=Submit
post_meta=”the_source”
post_meta_labels=”Attribute a source?”
publish_field_order=”featured_image,title,the_source”
no_header=true
require_content=0
category=humor
taxonomy=category

allowed_taxonomies=category ]’); ?>

Should any of those be in quotes or?

[andy999]

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

[admin]

Try this:

[userpro template=publish category=”humor”]

humor is slug of valid category. Please try that shortcode.

[andy999]

Nope, does not place new posts into that category, it doesn’t assign any category at all.

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘
[userpro template=publish
publish_button_primary=Submit
post_meta=”the_source”
post_meta_labels=”Attribute a source?”
publish_field_order=”featured_image,title,the_source”
no_header=true
require_content=0
category=”humor”
taxonomy=category
]’); ?>

[admin]

It’s working on my test fine. Is humor a category in Normal categories?

[andy999]

Yup, humor is a normal category.

Latest version of WP and UP. I’ll try on a page template now instead of a php shortcode.

…

Put exactly what you wrote on a page via a shortcode, assigned a category and it ONLY went into the category I picked, not the humor category

[userpro template=publish category=”humor”]

[admin]

The category you picked? When you use category and taxonomy it should not let you choose/pick any category?? Please correct me if I am wrong

[admin]

I’ll do more tests in regard to this issue and resolve it (if required) in next update, apologies for you 🙂

[andy999]

Doing more testing, will report back momentarily. 🙂

[admin]

I’m off to dinner, keep me posted

[andy999]

Ok, got it working (kind of)

This does NOT work and does NOT assign category of humor to new posts.

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘
[userpro template=publish
publish_button_primary=Submit
post_meta=”the_source”
post_meta_labels=”Attribute a source?”
publish_field_order=”featured_image,title,the_source”
no_header=true
require_content=0
category=”humor” taxonomy=category
]’); ?>

This DOES work and DOES assign category of humor to new posts.

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘
[userpro template=publish category=”humor” taxonomy=category]’); ?>

Continuing testing to see what could be wrong.

[andy999]

I found what’s causing it!

It’s publish_field_order

This doesn’t work, I removed each parameter one by one to find what could be the cause until I go to publish_field_order.

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘
[userpro template=publish
publish_button_primary=Submit
post_meta=”the_source”
post_meta_labels=”Attribute a source?”
publish_field_order=”featured_image,title,the_source”
no_header=true
require_content=0
category=”humor” taxonomy=category
]’); ?>

Wrote it like this:-

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘
[userpro template=publish
publish_button_primary=Submit
post_meta=”the_source”
post_meta_labels=”Attribute a source?”

no_header=true
require_content=0
category=”humor” taxonomy=category
]’); ?>

And it works!

I do however need to use the field order though, so that’s a problem.
