Hello there @elieelia9
Can you elaborate a bit more on what would be the user’s experience?
You could use the Post Data field in Forminator though, in order for your users to create posts via a frontend form. You can even have some custom meta fields into those, so you can better filter/display them in other pages.

Thank you,

@wpmudev-support6 Hi Dimitris, thanks for your reply.
The idea would be that it is a personal diary for the user.
They can log what they’ve done throughout their day and return to this log to modify it, change their logged activities, or delete their logged activities.
Hi @elieelia9
I hope you are doing well.
I believe the Post data would be the most indicated in your case.
You can find more about this field on https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#post-data-field
Using the Forminator > Add Form > Create Post will allow your user to manage the posts, edit it, publish remove.
If you would like to go further, you can create your own post type “Journal Posts” and split this from the default WordPress post types.
To find more about post type you can check this plugin:

@wpmudevsupport12 Hmm, I’m not sure if I’m not understanding correctly but this does not seem to be working. This just creates blog posts which are public to everyone.
I was checking to see if the user can make a post in this form, which after submission the user can come back to and see in the form, edit them, delete them etc, exactly like your own personal diary which you can write whatever you want in
I want to be able to create a journal for my users on my membership site. I want to make it so that each of them has their own unique journal that no other members can see (except for the admin).
I want my users to be able to click on an MY JOURNAL link and be taken to a page with all their previous posts, plus a link that would enable them to create a new post, from your form, that will add to their journal.
Hi @elieelia9
This just creates blog posts which are public to everyone.
You can make the post type not visible for everyone, also limit the editors to see only own posts:
Some references on https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-limit-authors-to-their-own-posts-in-wordpress-admin/
However, those extra settings must be done using custom code or different plugins to manage the post type, I’m afraid it is not possible from Forminator settings, the Forminator only will submit the post.
