Only signed in users can submit entries with the form. I'm having a problem getting the user that's signed in to be associated to the Pending post that's created. Right now it's always defaulting to me. I've tried using a hidden field with the default value set to User Login. In the email that's generated I can see the correct user's login name defined, but the post is not associated to the user. I've also tried dynamically populating the field with: <pre><code>add_filter('gform_field_value_submitted_by_user', 'populate_submitted_by_user'); function populate_submitted_by_user($value){ global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); return $current_user -> user_login; }</code></pre> Again, the email that's generated displays the correct user login name but the post is not associated to the user.
