I am trying to build a user-generated social network on WordPress. I got the member site portion down but having trouble customizing the front-end publishing with custom fields in the way I want. I have been trying different plugins but don't think I fully understand custom fields and thus having a hard time. Right now I am trying a combination of a front-end publishing plugin and considering combining that with the "Advanced custom fields" plugin but not sure I need that. I have many features that will branch out from this but for right now I'm simply trying to add a 3rd field (other than title and content) to a post submission and ensure that content shows on the back-end and also on the front-end once approved. Can someone let me know the best plugin or plugins to achieve this and tell me a bit more about custom fields and how it pertains to what I'm trying to do?
Why not the "User Submitted Posts" Plugin?
This allows users to submit a post either in draft or immediate mode.
