    There is no post_title and post_content. This worked for me:

    Your Name (required)
        [text* your-name]
    Your Email (required)
        [email* your-email]
    Subject
        [text post_title]
    Your Message
        [textarea post_content]
    Check box (required)
      [checkbox* post_category_name "brags-comments-students"]
    Enter the code: [captchac captcha-600 size:m]
    [captchar captcha-600]
    [submit "Send"]
    [dynamichidden post_status "pending"]

    I’m pushing version 0.6 in which it should set the post author to be the person who is logged in when submitting the form. The person must be logged in for this to work, obviously.

    No way to ID the author without being logged in. Even if it did, they would have to is themselves on your form and there is no way to verify they are who they claim to be.

    hi again ..
    well pits …
    is there a way to add a line so author will show and admin (the one that approved the post) will not ???

    i don’t care if i can verify how they claim …

    If you put in a field “post_author_name” they can self-identify. But they have to enter a valid login name from your site for it to work.

    If you want “guest” make a “guest” user in WP, then in your form create a hidden field with name “post_author_default” value “guest”

    The 0 comments: may will work: hidden field “comment_status” value “closed”. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post
