This is great, works like a charm . Only thing is that when its emailed to me the person who sends it is Apache.

I was wondering whether a captcha style image verification could be added to this contact form in order to cut down on the spam/junk mail I am receiving, do you think this is possible?

Hi,

Thank you for the helpful tutorial.

I am working on a variation ‘form to blog/post’.

I can get it to write a new post but I cannot get it to take my input into the post.

Hard coded text for the ‘content’ works ok.

But when I try and build a content string from one the form elements I only get “”.

What I want to do is present a form with a Parent Category and let the user select from one of the sub-categories. Use the input and some backend processing to build the ‘content’ of the blog and then post it!

In a simple example I would want to do:

$content = $c_subject . $c_message

$post_data = array(
‘blog_ID’ => null,
‘post_author’ => (($user->ID)?$user->ID:1),
‘post_date’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, current_time(‘timestamp’)),
‘post_date_gmt’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, current_time(‘timestamp’)),
‘post_content’ => $content,
‘post_title’ => “Test question post $post_title”,

‘post_category’ => array(),
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’
);

$post_ID = wp_insert_post($post_data);

You’re awesome…I need this for a tip-us form…when I read the title I was hoping you won’t use a plugin…just perfect
