   I want users to be able to post images only on a designated page for them.
   currently when i post with the post from site it posts to my home page.
   is there a way to make it post to a designated page?

   Hi raybanm,

   You can use triggers in order to solve this. Just asign a category to a new post (for example, post_images) with a trigger in table wp-posts, and then block this category from your home page adding

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-11'); ?>

   just before "if (have_posts().... " on your index.php and assuming that 11 is the id of the category that you want to block.

   Then create a new item in your main menu and asign it to "post_images" category.

   Edited: a trigger like this one could be valid for you. You mast change 11 for the real id of the category "post_images".

   DELIMITER $$

   CREATE TRIGGER asigncategory AFTER UPDATE ON wp_posts
   FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
   INSERT INTO wp_term_relationships VALUES (NEW.ID, '11', '0');
   END;

   $$

   DELIMITER ;

   first of all, collaboratorfab, thank you for the quick reply.
   second, i forgot to write that i am very new to wordpress & web development in general.

   I don't know how to assign trigger (or what that even means), and don't know where or what the table wp-post.
   maybe you could clear up your reply for me a bit?

   thank you again!
