    Hey Guys,

    Is this plugin, or any plugin for that matter – able to automate the creation process of a live band page (actually technically a post in my case) on my website? I run this small live bands booking agency, where I have this page (below) that is a SIGN-UP page for new bands who want us to represent them:

    https://thelivemusicagency.affordaband.co.uk/new-bands-sign-up-form/

    As you can see, they can input all their private information, and also their band information to send to me when they click “SUBMIT”, so I can then build a band page for them, but also store their private contact details on a file somewhere (not sure where – a database perhaps??), so I can retreive their details and call or email them later, if someone wants to hire them. Regarding these two points, can you tell me how I can automate the process, even a little bit if possible, for :

    generating a new band page with all their photos, mp3 songs, biography information etc that I can upload to the site for them that looks the same layout as the other band pages – it doesn’t have to be exact, but close would save me a lot of work, and:

    store their private contact details automatically somewhere also?

    I’d really appreciate your expert help on this – I can’t work it out..! Can your plugin do either of these?

    Kindest Regards,
    Stu

    Hi Stu,

    According to your requirement,

    1. You will need to create a custom post type with the post_meta data like photos, mp3 song, biography information etc, and a new template for this custom post type so user can access the band pages.

    2. Then you can make a new request to create a new post by call the wp_insert_post function with this custom post type and the meta data of photos, mp3 song, biography information.

    Best Regards.

    Thanks so much for replying mate, I really appreciate it. I’m afraid that I’m not technical enough yet to be able to make that work. Are you able to assist me, or even better, do it for me, if I pay you to do it? I’m sorry to ask, but I don’t have enough skill yet to understand the tricky stuff! Please let me know?

    Hi @stumur

    Sorry, I don’t have time to do this for you now, But here’s some document will help you to implement my thoughts:

    PS: I would really appreciate if you could write a plugin review here on WordPress.org. These reviews really help my plugin to be perfect and mean a lot to me personally. Here’s the link:

    Hey Darell. Yes agreed! That was indeed my intention – to write a glowing review on the plugin for you, but it’s hard for me to do that with this one, as I don’t have the IT skillset necessary to use the plugin properly yet, which was why I was hoping to get your help on it. I’m ok with fairly simple plugins that only offer a couple of options, but I need much better skill levels to make yours do what I need – duplicating my band pages from a forms input (or whatever it needs?). I know a skilled user could do it all in a few minutes, but that’s not me just yet. Anyway, if I can figure it out at some point and make it work, I’ll jump back in and make a cracking review. Thanks for your fast reply – it’s very much appreciated.

    Hi Darell. Please let me know when you do finally find a moment to assist me with this, if you’re able to, if I give you my backend credentials? I’m happy to pay etc, but I’m way behind so need to crack on fairly soon! Hoping you can help.. Thanks, Stu.

    Any further thoughts on this guys? I can’t progress at all until I know if you have a moment to assist to build it for me? I’m just not quite technical enough at this point.
