 * Hi,
 * First of all, thank you! This plugin is a really big help, does all the things
   I want it to.
    Just one glitch, even after using the required class, the posts
   are getting through with blank input. I might have configured the shortcode incorrectly
   and not able to figure it out, would be great if you could help. Here’s the link
   to the page where i’ve used the form – [http://ajaymreddy.com/stg/upload-photo/](http://ajaymreddy.com/stg/upload-photo/)
   And here’s the shortcode i’m using – [fu-upload-form form_layout=”post” post_type
   =’proof’ class=’validate’ title=’And join the coolest travel challenge!’] [input
   type=”file” name=”photo” id=”ug_photo” description=”Your Photo” multiple=”” class
   =”required” ] [input type=”text” name=”post_title” id=”ug_title” description=”
   Title” multiple=”” class=”required” ] [input type=”text” name=”post_country” 
   id=”ug_country” description=”Country” multiple=”” class=”required” ] [input type
   =”text” name=”post_whs” id=”ug_whs” description=”Name of World heritage site”
   multiple=”” class=”required” ] [textarea name=”post_content” id=”ug_caption” 
   description=”Description (optional)”] [input type=”submit” value=”Submit”] [/
   fu-upload-form]
 * Also, a couple of questions –
    I have enabled ‘Show author field’ option in the
   settings, does this interfere with submitted posts getting assigned to the logged
   in user? Right now, new posts are not getting assigned and the author name field
   shows up every time. I want to have users enter an email address and create a
   new user if the email does not exist in the database already. Could you suggest
   which filter to use for this? I want to add autocomplete for the country and 
   world heritage site fields, any suggestions on where I should add the jquery 
   code?
 * Thanks a bunch!
    Ajay
