Hello, I currently have one custom post type on my website called Contests which lets users fill out a form and once they confirm their email their post gets posted to a page.

My developer did most of this work with the plugin. I know how to setup the custom post types form but not sure how to get the posts to show up on the page.

Here is how it currently works users fill out the form that can be found here. hidden link below the paragraph. So user fills that out then confirms the email and then the custom post type gets posted here hidden link

1,I want the same workflow with another Custom post type but this will be for Donations user fills out form tells story why they need

donation goal amount and once confirm their email. It will get posted to a different page.

2 The new Custom post type will be called Donations. I can have more than one custom post type correct for the same website?

3.So how would I do it that the custom post types get posted to a different page like the example? And also how dp I choose what users see when they first go to the page like for example when users go to Vote for these people. They see the user's name, date, and how many comments there are.

How do I control what shows in the preview and what fields show on the details page once the user submitted the post? Also can I setup categories in the form users fill out?

Sorry if this is a lot I tried reading the docs but its a little complicated for me I know how to setup forms but the next steps getting the custom posts to show etc is a bit complicated for me please advise.

You can use the Toolset Blocks/Views plugin to list the posts and then create a new page and add view block to create list of posts.
