Title: Problems Using The Post Data Form Field Last modified: May 31, 2022 --- # Problems Using The Post Data Form Field * Resolved [mc1969](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mc1969/) * (@mc1969) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-using-the-post-data-form-field/) * I am in the process of building a food blog web site at [http://www.winthropiga.com.au](http://www.winthropiga.com.au). * The site is for the use of friends and family to share recipes, and I would like them to be able to submit recipes from the front end of the site without actually logging in and becoming WordPress users. * I have constructed a form with Forminator using the Post Data field, and have duplicated that field to make separate sections for recipe title, Ingredients, instructions, recipe notes and nutrition information etc., as well as post categories and tags. * I was under the impression that this would result in one draft post with all the uploaded information. * However it has actually resulted in a several draft posts – i.e. one for each section of the form. * I have several questions: * 1.Is there any way to make the information on my form appear in one post on the back end, with the category and tag(s) that have been selected? * I appreciate that the information for all these sections could be entered in one “content” field, but I doubt that my end user audience will have the formatting skills to be able to separate the information into headings and paragraphs. * 2.I have added drop down lists of categories and tags, but It appears that only one of each can be selected. * Is there any method available to select multiple categories or tags? * 3.I have built my recipe post template using the Elementor and Advanced Custom Fields plugins. * Is there any way that the information entered on a particular section of the form (e.g. ingredients) can be routed directly to the appropriate custom field for the template, rather than just remaining as part of the post content? * The form can be accessed by way of a popup link (constructed with Hustle) in the right hand sidebar on the home page under the heading “Submit Your Own Recipe”. * The site is in the early stages of construction, with a lot of dummy content, and is not available to the general public as yet. * I would appreciate any assistance, and I can arrange for back end access as an Administrator if required. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-using-the-post-data-form-field%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * [Kris – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport13/) * (@wpmudevsupport13) * [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-using-the-post-data-form-field/#post-15702316) * Hi [@mc1969](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mc1969/) * I hope you are doing good today. * > 1. Is there any way to make the information on my form appear in one post on > the back end, with the category and tag(s) that have been selected? * This is possible by default. Please edit your form and edit your “Post Data” field. Double-check on the list does “Categories” is enabled. When the form is published on the front end, you should see select of categories, and as soon the form will be sent, data will be assigned to this category or tag, no matter did you made Status as a draft, pending review, or published. * **2. I have added drop down lists of categories and tags, but It appears that only one of each can be selected.** This is possible by default as well. Please edit your form and edit your “Post Data” field. Navigate to the settings tab and you will see “Taxonomies limits” at the bottom. * > 3.I have built my recipe post template using the Elementor and Advanced Custom > Fields plugins. * I’m afraid this will be no possible. * Kind Regards, Kris * Plugin Support [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * (@wpmudev-support2) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-using-the-post-data-form-field/#post-15750468) * Hello [@mc1969](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mc1969/) , * We haven’t heard from you for some time now, so it looks like you don’t have more questions for us. * Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed. * Kind regards Kasia Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The topic ‘Problems Using The Post Data Form Field’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/forminator/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3443182) * [Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/reviews/) * 2 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * Last activity: [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-using-the-post-data-form-field/#post-15750468) * Status: resolved
