Tell us what you are trying to do?
register new users and either claim an existing post or create a new one, with no code...

I searched around but it looks complex, and requires coding.
Is there an easy way to do this.

My first thought is to register a user, either free or paid, and request ie for me a vendor or a farmers market.
then we approve them on back end and change authorship to them

(the paid aspect will have to be added in via woocommerce, but that's not the question for now.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can register the new user with the Toolset User forms:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-registering-users/

Once user is registered, to automatically create a post, you need to use the Toolset Forms hook: cred_save_data

Please check the following related ticket that may help you:

Minesh - Just want to let you know, I need to review and am still working on this.

[Minesh]

Ok fine. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

too much coding....

- 1. registration ok
-2. what do you suggest for noncoders?

[Minesh]

Well - to create the entry/post after user registered you need to add the Toolset form's hook I shared: cred_save_data

If you need any help with that we would be happy to guide you.

Hi Minesh, I'm still working on it. Will keep you posted. It's been a busy week. - Mindy

Sure - No issues. Please let me know if you need further help.

Well, I never thought about what it means to claim a listing.
So I imagine there's a claim link that the user selects for a listing, and then a registration form appears for them to fill out.
And somehow the listing is affiliated with the user.

I have no idea how to do this on the front end.
So I would need more details. Again, I don't code.

Thanks, Mindy

Sorry - I do not understand your requirement. Can you please share more details, maybe few screenshots.

This video will show you what we're trying to do. Let me know if the Claim feature is possible without coding! If not we will have to do it on the backend, adding a question on the registration form - regarding what listing the user is trying to claim.

P.S. not sure if I pronounced your name correctly!

As you acknowledge that you were using some claim listing plugin to implement the claim listing feature but there is no such feature available with Toolset.

I see it used to offer some membership plans - did you check our membership tutorial?
=> https://toolset.com/learn/create-membership-site-wordpress-using-toolset-plugins/

In addition to that, did you check our classifieds reference site and see how it works. we offer free test platform discover-wp.com where you can install any of our available reference site and play with it and understand how it works and configured.
