ARForms Post Creator - Create WordPress posts from a form

ARForms Post Creator is an extension that allows you to automatically generate posts and content on your WordPress site without the need for manual data entry in the admin panel. The solution integrates with ARForms forms, mapping form fields to title, content, excerpt, metadata, taxonomies, and a featured image. This allows each form submission to become a post, announcement, event, or custom content type.
