 * Hello!
 * I cannot figure out how to get the uploaded file to appear within the post body
   content. Is this possible? Here’s my custom form code:
 * **[fu-upload-form form_layout=”post” category=”4″ title=””]
    [input type=”text”
   name=”post_title” id=”title” class=”required” description=”Chapter”] [textarea
   name=”post_content” class=”textarea” id=”notes” description=”Notes (optional)”][
   input type=”file” name=”file” id=”file” class=”required” description=”Your Yearbook
   File” multiple=””] [input type=”submit” class=”btn” value=”Submit”] [/fu-upload-
   form]
 * [fu-upload-response]
 * Thanks!
    Torre

 * Hey,
 * Uploaded posts do not appear in the post automatically, you can just use “Add
   media” button to insert the file manually. This is done intentionally, because
   it’s hard to account for all different use cases. It might change in future, 
   but for now it’s not possible.

 * Thanks for responding so quickly, Rinat. To clarify, I as an admin would have
   to login and see the post, find the file that was uploaded and manually add it
   to the post that was created? Or the frontend user would have an option to ‘Add
   Media’ right into the post content?
 * I’ll tell you the end goal and maybe that will help – we want a way for visitors
   to be able to upload a .pdf file, and then somehow for those to be all categorized(
   either post category or media category if that is supported) the same, so that
   we can spit out a list of all those uploaded .pdf documents on a page.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi
 * I’m looking for something like this aswell. When the user is creating a post 
   I want them to be able to select a category from those configured in Posts->Categories.
 * Thanks
