# No slug on created posts

 * Hi there,
 * Based on the code sample here – [https://github.com/scribu/wp-front-end-editor/wiki/Creating-posts](https://github.com/scribu/wp-front-end-editor/wiki/Creating-posts)–
   I’ve successfully been able to use FEE to create a new post (a custom post type,
   no less) with multiple custom fields. It’s working brilliantly, and best of all
   it’s recognizing the role restrictions, so that Authors are only able to edit
   their own posts.
 * One problem, however. New posts have no slug.
 * The the_title() field is successfully saved, but somehow they are created with
   no slug at all – if I edit the post on the admin side, the permalink field (following
   the base URL) is empty.
 * If I then update the post, the slug gets filled in. But the goal here is for 
   slugs to be created by users who do not have access to the admin side, so that’s
   not much help.
 * Any ideas what could be going on here? Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks!
