    Hello all. New here so please be patient with me. I have been tasked with a new project that will require anonymous users the ability to create profile posts and upload pictures. I am having trouble with this and was hoping for some help, please. I have created my form like this:
    Name:
    Address:
    City:
    State:
    Phone:
    Email:
    About Me:
    Profile Picture:

    I can get the post title and the About Me (Body part) to work just fine. And the picture loads in the media, but nothing else displays in the post, including the picture. no name, address, etc.

    Now I am 100% sure it is me just doing something wrong, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direct or maybe even to a basic template they used – etc.?

    Thanks for the help - Erik

    Well, in the past 30 mins I have been able to figure out most of my list so go me! I still have a question though:
    1) how can I choose multiple categories?

    I'm assuming you figured out to create a Post you simply use the Post Fields on your form and they automatically create a post if present. The Post Title and Post Body both have some additional Post specific options such as Post Status, Post Author, etc.

    To choose multiple categories you would add multiple Post Category fields to your form.

    @Carl - yes sir. I was surprised at how easy this was once I understood the needed steps.

    However, I am not sure I fully understand what you mean by 'To choose multiple categories you would add multiple Post Category fields to your form.'

    @Carl - I think I figured out what you mean by adding more than one Category form fields but what I am looking more for is "Please choose all that apply" and I really would prefer not to have 10+ drop downs that the customer has to select. Is there anyway to use a radio or checkbox instead of drop downs?

    Thanks for your help!
