 * Hello dear professionals.
 * I was trying to search the forum for similarities but I wasnt lucky enough, so
   I would love to ask for help.
 * I need to have a specific form (looks like somehow like on the link mentioned
   above) and based on that form I need to have a new post to be generated and be
   placed in right categories.
 * I am not able to achieve the desired look of generated post. I want the post 
   looks like:
 * name, added files to be shown there, description text, hidden text (not displayed
   at all) and the “copy to clipboard” button (which will copy the text which wont
   be displayed – something like hidden text string)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fspecific-post-form%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@crossic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossic/),
 * I hope you are doing well today!
 * I created a similar form based on the URL you have provided. Please import it
   to your site and adjust accordingly.

 * Hi [@crossic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossic/)
 * Thank you for response!
 * Please note that Forminator is not responsible for how the post is actually displayed.
   It creates posts based on WordPress standards and the way it is presented to 
   the user/visitor is a separate thing – by default depends on the theme but if
   it needs to be customized, you may need to create a child them and additional
   post templates and/or use some additional custom code or plugins to change the
   way post shows and behaves. Furthermore, it won’t generate output/HTML that would
   normally be created by your page builder.
 * Getting back to your initial requirements:
 * 1. on the example post images are in post content – form can only add a) featured
   image (so your theme/post template would need to use that) b) or can map uploaded
   image to custom post field – then again, your theme/post template would need 
   to read that custom field and display image from it;
 * 2. hidden text – that again means user of custom post fields: add a text field
   to the form and map that field to “Custom fields” of the “post data” on the form;
   then whatever is entered into that text field would be stored as post custom 
   meta data and whether you display it or not, it’s up to you/your theme.
 * Here is more about fields mapping to custom meta:
 * [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#custom-fields](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#custom-fields)
 * In general, to achieve what you want you’d mostly need to utilize custom fields
   and then create a custom page template that displays content the way you want
   based on those custom fields (that is, aside the post title and “description”–
   content – and categories, which are all standard post elements).
 * 3. As for the missing button – that’s not related to Forminator at all; it cannot
   add any functions/features to the posts and should not do it. It’s completely
   up to the theme’s/site’s functions (so either needs to be coded into theme or
   as an additional custom code or using some 3rd-party additional plugin).
 * Kind regards,
    Adam

 * Thank you so much for the answer. I thought it has to be done by custom edits,
   I was just hoping someone has already had something similar 🙂
 * I got it to work already. Thank you so much 🙂

 * I might have found another trouble for I didnt find answer in the documentation,
   is there a possibility to have a chance set only the specific categories to be
   displayed in category select of post creating form?

 * Hi [@crossic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossic/)
 * Please follow this guide and code [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-post-data-only-specific-article-categories-allowed/#post-13786691](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-post-data-only-specific-article-categories-allowed/#post-13786691)
   which seems to be still valid and works well.
