 * What’s the shortcode for displaying a certain user’s submitted post after the
   user logged in?
 * Can show pending and published posts in users’ account?

 * Glad to help. The free version provides a basic shortcode to display submitted
   posts:
 * `[usp_display_posts]`
 * It does not filter by post status (pending, draft, et al), but does provide a
   couple of attributes to customize the output. You can learn more about it on 
   the [installation page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/#installation).
   Also just FYI, the pro version of USP provides a [more capable version of the “display-posts” shortcode](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-display-list-submitted-posts/).
 * Let me know if I can provide any further infos, glad to help.

 * Is the code [usp_display_posts] shows each users’ submitted post only in their
   account?
 * Not all the submitted post.

 * Yes as explained on the [Installation page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/#installation),
   you can limit the list of displayed posts to the current logged in user:
 * `[usp_display_posts userid="current"]`
 * Or if you want to display only posts from a specific user:
 * `[usp_display_posts userid="1"]`
 * ..that would display all posts from user with ID = 1.

 * When I tried out the form and click submit, it failed and showed on the page:
   403
    Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!
 * What’s the problem? How to fix?

 * Glad to help. When a numerical server error is encountered, the best way to find
   out what is happening is to check your site’s error and/or debug logs. Then you
   can re-trigger the error and take a look at the log(s) to get an actual description
   of the error (like when, where, why the error happened, what caused it, et al).
   If unsure about your site’s error logs, the best place to ask is your web host,
   who should be happy to help.

 * Oh, it suddenly okay now.
 * For [usp_display_posts userid=”current”], can it shows thumbnails as well. It
   only shows the text now.

 * No that is a Pro feature. You can compare the two shortcode links I have provided
   previously and compare. The linked information is complete in both cases.

 * Numerous reasons. Top two:
    1. I want to keep the free version as simple as possible
    2. I have bills to pay and mouths to feed
