    Hi there, right now people are able to submit their posts using the front end submission without filling in the post title field. I'm using the Bricks Builder integration. There doesn't seem to be an option to enable this.

    How can I achieve this?

    Kind regards,
    Roel

    Hello Roel,

    You can create a text field with the ID post_title, mark it Required and remove the post_fields from the frontend shortcode to use the custom field post title.
    Please follow the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#field-order

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for your reply, would this keep all current already created posts?
    Thanks in advance.

    In addition to the post above this one:
    After some testing the title of the post will now be "(No Title)" after making a text field and setting the ID to post_title. This doesn't work.

    Hello,

    Do you add the field ID prefix to the field group settings? If yes, the field ID is different from post_title. You can see it works properly on my end https://drive.google.com/file/d/15lRWTxyC-b397Xubx_6RTmWUK5OiIkL0/view?usp=sharing

    Yes, I've added the id to the field group settings. See here:

    Also tried adding it to the Custom Settings using "id" but didn't work either.

    Hello,

    You are adding the title field in a group field as a subfield, that's why it doesn't work. Please move it to the top field and check this issue again.

    Hi Peter, small side note if I do the same for let's say the thumbnail field it doesn't show on the backend as the featured image... Is it supposed to be like that?
