Custom Fields not posting

    Hi there,
    I've created a form to generate user generated content, however at the moment only the 'title' field in the form is being displayed within the Post. I have many custom fields and none of them are being displayed. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but have searched many forums and at the moment unable to resolve.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Are they stored in your Entries page? If so, then the display of these on your theme would be a coding issue:

    Let me know if this helps.

    Hi David,
    thanks for your reply. I think I may have worked it out, by using the post body field and adding all the respective custom fields into the post body and then changing the visibility to 'admin only'. It seems a little clunky but does the trick. Do you know of any resources which help with the formatting of the fields contained within the post body? I'm not a HTML or PHP expert however...
    Thanks again for your help.
    Mike
