Tried various themes, but always the same:
The Post Title field stretches across too wide, causing horizontal scrolling.

Em. No it doesn’t. See it in action here (no scrolling) and on this very website.

I had a quick look at your website and it seems that the post title is set to 151px wide!?! If you look at the source, the “size” is set to 300. By default this is set to 30, so it’s ten times the size of the default. Go into the Widgets for the form and under Content, change size from 300 to 30 and the problem will disappear.

The other thing is, how can I ensure the Geo Map does not display on the home page for every post – only display when viewing full post? Maybe there is a way to ad a ‘read more’ break via a widget?

Easy enough. Add an Append to Content Widget, just above the GeoMashup widget. And then put <!--more--> as the contents.

Hi Mark,
I;m slightly embarrassed, it seems I accidently changed the 30 to 300 while messing around with the widgets when it was set for small width and I couldn;t see all the options very well

Also can confirm using the widget and the code worked great – although only on new submissions. previous posts were not affected.

One last thing, is your plugin being used here:

If not, I’m wondering what they used for that – maybe a modified version of

Thanks for this plugin, I’ve been looking everywhere for something to help me create a simple way for users to submit content without using the Wp backend.

TDOMF won’t modify existing submitted posts. Once it’s submitted, its outside the scope of what TDOMF does.

No idea. If you look at the source of the submit form, you should able to see the “tdomf-post-form.php” url in the form submit tag, if you wish to confirm.

They seem to be using standard WP submit:
form enctype=”multipart/form-data” method=”POST” action=”/wp-admin/admin-post.php”
input type=”hidden” name=”MAX_FILE_SIZE” value=”500000″
input type=”hidden” name=”blah_action” value=”preview-submit”

Oooo. That’s interesting. Didn’t know you could do that. I guess they must be doing some clever hacks to the backend.
