Hi,

I have a custom post type using toolset. Now I want my users to Register on the website and fill the post fields. So basically I want to club user registration and post type content addition together.

How to go about doing this?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Actually. post forms and user forms are different entities. Basically, you can not club user form and post form field.

But as a workaround:
You can display post fields on User forms by adding the post fields as generic fields to your user form and later of use the Toolset form's API hook - cred_save_data to create the new entry for your post type based on the generic field values.

First, insert the generic fields to your user form:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/inserting-generic-fields-into-forms/

Then, You can use the hook: cred_save_data:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-api/#csd

Now, using the above hook you can create child entry using the WordPress function - wp_insert_post:
=> https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/

you can add your custom code to "Custom Code" section. Please check the following doc:
