[Resolved] Using form for all new post creation

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I have created a new form and created a new layout, but I cant get it to actually show when going to add a new post

Solution:

The Toolset Layouts plugin is in maintenance status, so if you are working on new projects, it is recommended to use Toolset Blocks plugin to display the contents instead of Layouts plugin.

Tell us what you are trying to do? I have created a new form and created a new layout, but I cant get it to actually show when going to add a new post.

Is there any documentation that you are following? tutorials on doing forms.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello,

The Toolset Layouts plugin is in maintenance status, so if you are working on new projects, it is recommended to use Toolset Blocks plugin to display the contents instead of Layouts plugin.

In order to display the Toolset Forms in front-end, you can try these:
1) Create a new page, edit with WordPress Blocks editor(Gutenberg editor),
2) In the page content, display a Toolset Forms block, and choose the specific post/user form
See our document:

section "Displaying Toolset forms"

My issue is resolved now. The main issue was having layout plugin installed which was leading to fields and views not allowing me to choose a content template.
