### 󠀁[Plugin Does not Work with Updated WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-work-with-updated-wp/)󠁿

I have been working on this for almost an hour and it just doesn’t work with the
updated WP version. Testing it as a user, once I submit, it gives me a frowny face,
telling me “this page does not exist”. The shortcode and redirect is correct according
to the support forum answers given by the plugin creator. However, that frowny face
post ends up in my POSTS to publish. When I published the test post it made ME (
admin) author of the post when I gave the author name as “Nancy Drew”. I wanted 
this plugin because I thought the author would be the one getting the credit. Not
the admin. Not someone who has to be added to my account. Also, you can add media
but it does not give the visitor an option to add a “featured image”. There is nothing
on the admin panel for this plugin. Nothing under SETTINGS either. Maybe it will
get better if it’s updated.
