Hi Bob,
If you have done the above step(Page selection in the Posts tab ) and used the shortcode on the same page, Please visit that setting again and check which user roles are allowed to create the post. Is it set for the role you are checking with.

Hi Bob,
Welcome to BuddyDev support forums.
Thank you for purchasing the membership.

in order to use shortcode, Please visit Dashboard->BuddyBlog->Settings and click on the “Post” tab.

In the create section, Please select the page and save. Now, the page can be used for creating posts.

Please let me know if it works or not?

Hi Tosin,
Thank you.

Currently, only one visible form is possible with a post type, you can have different forms with different post type. The reason is we do not store the publishing capability with the form. It is stored with Tabs and the shortcode is for tab form.

We are working on a generic WordPress posting solution with BuddyBlog Pro where we will store who can publish/edit with the form. That will allow us to have multiple forms with same post type.

Hi Tosin,
I am sorry for the delayed reply.

The following code will work with next release of BuddyBlog Pro

/**
 * Update BuddyBlog Author when a post is submitted.
 */
add_filter( 'bblpro_post_submission_prepared_data', function ( $post_data, $form_id, $post, $is_submission ) {

	// update author if the form was submitted. Don't do anything on edit.
	if ( $is_submission && 37232 === (int) $form_id ) {
		$post_data['post_author'] = 3728;
		// keep current user data for future?
		if ( ! empty( $post_data['ID'] ) ) {
			update_post_meta( $post_data['ID'], '_bbl_original_post_author', get_current_user_id() );
		}
	}

	return $post_data;
}, 10, 4 );

We are changing the post author when the post is submitted(for review or published).

You can put it in your bp-custom.php and when you upgrade to next version of BuddyBlog Pro(This Friday), It will work.
