How did you fix it? * Thread Starter [timjin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timjin/) * (@timjin) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543203) * I ended up having to use the “Post Title” form item and it fixed the problem. It’s quite odd because on most of my forms I didn’t require that particular field. Same goes for “Post Content” which I had to use on one of my forms to prevent the error. Hope that helps 🙂 * [lord-ton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lord-ton/) * (@lord-ton) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543204) * weird. gonna try it now. thanks for the super fast answer! * Thread Starter [timjin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timjin/) * (@timjin) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543205) * No problem!

If that doesn’t work, you may have to create a new form. This might be a bug that the dev needs to look at. Let me know if my first suggestion works. * [lord-ton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lord-ton/) * (@lord-ton) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543210) * hehe so glitchy * If i add “hidden – post/page title” i get an error “post title cannot be empty” * If i add both “hidden – post/page title” and “post title” post title doesnt return anything and i get an error “post title cannot be empty” * If i add both “hidden – post/page title” and “post title” type anything into post title box than it works * [lord-ton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lord-ton/) * (@lord-ton) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543211) * yeah your assumption worked, but “required” fields stopped being required. they show the asterix but i dont get any errors if i dont input them.. it just sends… * they should give me back my 15 bucks)) * [lord-ton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lord-ton/) * (@lord-ton) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543212) * the funniest thing is that it works in preview, but when on a page – nope * [lord-ton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lord-ton/) * (@lord-ton) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543213) * opened a paypal dispute with a link to this thread.. lets see what devs will do.. * Plugin Author [Matthew Muro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mmuro/) * (@mmuro) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543214) * When using the Create Post add-on for a form, the Post Title is a required field. * [lord-ton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lord-ton/) * (@lord-ton) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-cannot-be-empty-error/#post-3543215) * So whats the point of it Matthew? — Okay, so i deleted all plugins and installed them again. * As it came clear to me i dont need post title addon, as there is post title in hidden option of a pro version. (which works better without glitchy add-on) * Anyway whenever i make a new form and make fields “required” they become required only in preview, but not on a page. * Any ideas?
