 * Hello,
 * I’m stuck adding custom fields to the submit form. I’ve tried following the documentation
   but it isn’t clear to me. For example,
 * //Copy one of the existing forms to the template directory
    //Add get_post_meta
   to the form php form file to retrieve the values of the custom fields //Add the
   custom fields to the form //Add update_post_meta to the frontier_post_post_save
   action
    1. Which form should I use? is it frontier-submit-form or frontier_post_form_standard
    2.  What do you mean add the custom fields to the form?
    3.  one of my fields (key) is named distance as an example

 * I am sorry, but I do not have the bandwidth to help with this.
 * You need a reasonably good php experience coupled with understanding of how actions
   and filters works in WordPress.
