As explained in the readme.txt, only default WP fields such as post content, post title, post category, et al are auto-displayed. Custom fields such as URL and images are not displayed automatically and may be displayed anywhere using template tags.
Hi Jeff
I don’t understand how to use templates :-/
How do I ensure that the posts submitted through the standard form (e.g. URL) are displayed in my posts, which are added in my wordpress?
I hope you can explain it in another way than the readme, because it did not help me.
Thanks

“I don’t understand how to use templates :-/”
My book, WordPress Themes In Depth can definitely help with this. Understanding how to customize your own themes is an indispensable skill to possess when using WordPress.
“How do I ensure that the posts submitted through the standard form (e.g. URL) are displayed in my posts, which are added in my wordpress?”
All submitted posts are handled exactly like regular WP Posts, so they will be displayed anywhere posts are displayed (e.g., index, archive, single views).
“I hope you can explain it in another way than the readme, because it did not help me.”
Yep, submitted posts are displayed anywhere that regular posts are displayed.
I hope this makes sense, if not let me know and I will try to elaborate.
Hi Jeff
Wow that was quick.
I understand that I could investigate making custom themes, but my needs are a little more low key 🙂
I just need to know how I insert the template tag for URLs to ensure that posts submitted are show with the URL from the standard submission form in the “User Submitted Forms” plugin. I am using the “Responsive” theme for wordpress.

Yes the book explains how to build and customize themes, but also provides a solid explanation of how themes work in general, so you could equip yourself to do more in less amount of time, instead of having to fiddle around in forums, you could just jump in and get it done. But I digress.. 🙂
To display the URL field, you can add the following tag to your theme template:
<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'user_submit_url', true); ?>
Just pop that into the Loop of single.php and done.
