Hello @jeffarnold,
In order to make the custom fields appear in the post notification email, you have to add the custom fields code in the email description. Please check the screenshot.
Please checke if you have added Post URL: %permalink% here.
I can see the permalink of the post is working from our end. Please check the video.

Hi,
Thanks, I had worked out the email problem.
The post body is still empty.
I tried installing ACF but it did not make any difference.
I can see the data in the WP UF Custom fields section if I edit the post and scroll down to the structured data section but that is not any use to anyone else trying to read the post.
Thanks
Jeff.
Hello @jeffarnold,
By default, ACF fields’ data only appears in the backend of the post when you submit the post using WPUF post form from frontend.
If you have meant anything else, that I may have missed, you can let me know.

Hi,
Is there a way for a user to complete a form.
Something sends me an email to let know.
So far so good.
But is there any point in the back end creating / opening a post, page, whatever, which when the user reads is empty to them ?
I would the post or whatever to contain the data the user entered into the form.
Is using the post option the best option ?
I have also tried :
form template for none and from.
Is this possible or have I missed the point ?
Thanks
Jeff.
Hello @jeffarnold,
Email notification for an abandoned form is unavailable in WPUF right, however we have it already in our feature-list.
If you have meant anything else, can you please explain with a little more elaboration.

Hi,
I’m not talking about abandoned forms.
I simply want a user to complete a form.
The backend create a post which shows the data they entered for all to see.
I mean it is in the main boy part of the post.
i.e:
USER QUESTION
Name = jon
address = 123 high st
so on………..
The data does show in the acf fields admin part.
BUT THE USER WOULD NEED TO LOG IN AS ADMIN AND KNOW HOW TO USE WP.
I want the world to see what the user entered.
This cant be a strange request.
Thanks
Jeff.
Hello @jeffarnold,
By default, the custom fields data show up in the frontend of a post submitted by WPUF post form.
1. Just make sure you have a checkmark against”show custom fields data in post content” in your WP-admin > WPUF > Settings > Frontend posting.
2. Also in the form field, edit the field and inside advanced settings, you will find “show data on the post” – set this to yes.
The above settings should show the custom fields data in the frontend of the post regardless of the fact that you map WPUF custom fields with ACF.
regards,
