I am getting auto draft posts whenever anyone uses a form. That draft posts has only the content of the last field in the form.

I am using WordPress 3.0.1, I have made some search, and this issue may have something to do with this version

I am using formidable pro as well

Any hint?

Best Regards

Are you sure the auto drafts are not being created from users viewing the form from the admin? I haven't added any code that saves the drafts, so I don't see how this could be happening from the form. Is it possible to confirm that this is coming from the form?

Yes, Totally and positivelly sure.

I have just made a coupple of tests, a) With a logged on admin User, and b)with no user at all.

In both cases as soon as the form is submitted an auto draft post is created, having only the content of the last field in the post. Currently I have two forms, the same happens with either one. In both cases, the post has the content of the last field of that particular form

I have made some reasearch of the wordpress support forums, and there seems to be an issue with draft auto posts in WP 3.0.1, however I dont know if that has any correlationship with your coding, maybe not, I think.

I am going to create a new form from scratch and see if that happens as well. And perhaps turning off revisions?

By The way, The action after form Submition that I am using in both forms is a redirect.

Are these auto drafts causing problems for you? If so, what are they doing that is causing problems? Are they different from the autodrafts from posts created from the admin?

Not at all, by all means! They are not causing any problem at all. They just populate the post admin area, and they just sit there. Since I have quite a few users using the forms it gets really crowdy over there.

I have just made a personal plugin to get rid of them every now and then, I just hate to go manually deleting a bunch of them from time to time.

Are you seeing these extra drafts on the WordPress posts page, or the Formidable entries page?

They are shown Just in the wordpress post page. Furthermore in the wp-post table they are marked as draft, thats the way I pick all of them at once, for to be able to delete them in one pass. Of course, it will suck big time if I will ever have a trully draft post of my own

when creating the form, in any of the fields did you select Field options / Post Field to be anything other than blank? If so, then this will create a post with thtat information and hold it as a draft
