 * If you are using Gravity Forms you can get this plugin that works quite effectively.

 * I am not using any plugins to create my form.
    I created it by my own and did
   ajax validation too. I just need to insert the form details in a custom post 
   rather than in the mysql table. While Clicking the post from the site(backend),
   I need to show the details which are inserted through form. Any help will be 
   helpful to me.
 * Thanks Sallu

 * You are going to have to create your own code to accomplish that. Everything 
   you need to know about inserting posts is here:

 * I have make use of it. it is not create any new custom post nor inserted the 
   form values in the custom post which i created. Instead it added the form data’s
   in “wp_posts”.
 * This is the code which i used,
 *     ```
       $title= $_POST['your_name'];
        $decription=$_POST['e_mail'];
       $my_post = array(
         'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $title ),
         'post_content'  => $decription,
         'post_status'   => 'publish',
         'post type'     => 'EmpResume'
         //'post_author'   => 1,
         //'post_category' => array( 8,39 )
       );
   
       // Insert the post into the database
       wp_insert_post( $my_post );
       ```
   
 * Any other idea?

 * Hi Guys,
    I am not getting enough information on creating custom post type while
   submitting form so moved to create “custom admin page” to view my form data from
   mysql db. I viewed the employee names in wp site. Now trying to view the page
   with detail when clicked the employee name.
 * If I have finished it I’ll Post my answer .
    Thanks Sallu.
