# forms on custom post types

 * I am creating an internal site to post draft videos for co-workers to review 
   and enter title, description, and other information for each video. Is there 
   a way to create a custom post type and embed a form in it so that when I create
   a new video custom post, that page will always have a form embedded on it automatically?
   Then people can fill out the form and save it so the data persists for other 
   people to see?

 * Hello, for the first question, you can create a template for custom post types,
   you can usually clone your theme’s existing single.php template as a starting
   point: [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/custom-post-type-template-files/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/custom-post-type-template-files/)
 * The form and where and how data is displayed would depend on the way you use 
   forms and what your want to display. You could use your own PHP scripts and database
   tables or leverage WordPress’s built in support for custom data tables with the
   dbDelta function, or you could use a plugin like Contact Form 7 which lets you
   embed forms in templates [https://contactform7.com/faq/can-i-embed-a-contact-form-into-my-template-file/](https://contactform7.com/faq/can-i-embed-a-contact-form-into-my-template-file/).
   There are many tutorials and third party plugins to integrate contact form 7 
   with your database.
