Thank you for the javascript snippet. It worked beautifully. One last, unexpected problem with this. I made an assumption that I would be able to lock the image upload and featured image fields the same way but have been unsuccessful. Could you please tell me how to do that? I’ve been trying all day and no luck (except bad) :(.

Many thanks to you again.

THANK YOU, Tareq! That would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with JavaScript coding and and I’ve been struggling to resolve this for about a week…. The ability to allow registered users to add tags to other author’s post/images but no other fields. I feel I am spinning in circles looking for ways to accomplish this. 🙂

Great! I think this may help me with a hack I’m needing. But where does the code posted by Tareq go, exactly…. from http://wedevs.com/support/topic/hide-fields-in-edit-form/#post-6918

function wpufe_assign_new_form( $post_id, $form_id ) {
if ( $form_id == ‘5’ ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘_wpuf_form_id’, 6 );
}
}
add_action( ‘wpuf_add_post_after_insert’, ‘wpufe_assign_new_form’, 10, 2 );

This solution will allow me to create a second form with all the fields hidden as needed, leaving only the editable field displayed. But where do I put it?

Thanks!

I’m thinking I can edit the appropriate plugin file (whichever one is building the form to be edited). I can use an if statement to determine if the logged in user is the post author and, if not, make certain fields readonly.

But which file and where in that file should I place the code?

Perhaps I misunderstood your question? I post my success messages via the form editor’s Post Settings tab. On that tab you will find a field titled,”Message to Show”.

Wanted to post this in case it will simplify your process.

Hope this helps!

UPDATE: After further testing I have discovered that I can register the new user while logged in and with WP Frontend User activated as long as I don’t use the WPUF shortcode on my registration page and use the WP eMember shortcode instead. This will work for me.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I had already checked available plugins and didn’t find anything that suited my needs.

I should add that I am using the “WP emember” membership plugin. I have now determined that I am able to register other users when I am logged in IF I deactivate WP Frontend User. Now that we know that to be the case, is there something I can change in the plugin code to prevent the error?

Thanks again!

I need this same exact feature as described in the original post. I need to be able to set this option in the frontend form editor just as we currently can set excluded categories.

My category structure will be continuously growing and I can’t keep tracking categories added by other authors and then add those IDs to the exclude field.

Thanks for your attention to this issue and for writing a great plugin! 🙂

Sorry, my bad! I had to login to my email via the internet to see it in the spam folder. False alarm!

Thanks!
