Put a hidden field in your form named “post_status” with value set to “draft”
Thanks a lot for this plugin! I have been able to configure it well so far. I am using Contact form 7 and its been a breeze.
However i am a little lost on some minor issues!
1. Id like all submissions from the forms come from only logged in users, and their login names used as the post author when they submit.
2, the issue above: thats about making sure the posts are saved as drafts as soon as they are submitted. I know you have explained how to do it but i think i need a little more pointing…
Thanks Michael

Is there a way to make the post appear as “pending” instead of “draft”?
When I set it to “pending” and submit the form info, the post STILL appears as a “draft” for some reason.
Nevermind, it works if you set it as “pending”. I didn’t reload the browser after changing the Contact Form 7 info.
A note to people who want to do this… they should make sure they have downloaded the “CF7 Dynamic Text Extension” plugin.
Put this in the form settings:
[dynamichidden post_status “pending”]
