I was wondering if a wp posts or custom post type be made to a sp topic. I have some forms that when filled out they are made to wp post or custom post type and you can see then in WordPress ....I was wondering if the post can be made to appear in a simple press post/topic.

when you create a new post, if you have create blog linked topics permission, at the bottom of the wp edit post form is a list of controls for creating the same topic in forum... only for new posts, cant do it yet for existing posts...

Ok so this will be autopost from RSS news to just one catergory I don't want any other category to be linked in forum . still same thing thing you said.

I do not know. It might depend on how the feed to blog post is written. If all the right components are exposed and all the right WordPress hooks are called then the best I can say is probably.
Why not just try it?

Hi, thanks for this thread. I want to do something similar - members fill out forms which get published to a specific blog category. I'd then like to show all posts in that category in a specific sp topic. I'd like them to be posts within a topic rather than new topics. Is there a way to do this?
Because the forms are filled out on the front end of the website, not via the wordpress editor, they do not have access to the "link to forum" settings, so I'd need to link the category and topic first, then every time someone completes a form which gets published to that category as a blog post, it would automatically get published to that topic on sp, too. Does that make sense?
I'm using wpuf plugin to build the forms.
If you could help on this at all, that would be great. Thanks, Hannah

Well - first up the hooks being called (as I said in post #7) would still be an imperative. So if whatever your plugin does also calls the standard WP publish post hooks then we could feed from that. And that might work (with a small bit of custom code perhaps).
But - even assuming that were possible - it becomes unravelled if you then want all of these blog posts to end up in the same forum topic - as opposed to new topics as blog linking works now. That requirement would involve a lot of custom work and perhaps would even be worth a custom plugin.
Have you also thought through how this single topic would work? Does it allow people to add posts? Is it also needed to add comments to the blog post etc?

Thanks for your speedy reply!
ok, so I can live with them posting as new topics within a specified forum.
I tried setting the auto-create to on and checking post and custom post type for my forms. They didn't appear in the forum when added via the form. I have no idea if the wp user frontend plugin I've built my forms with uses the wp standard hooks. Any idea on how I could test it and see if it would work? I have no idea on code but will happily copy and paste snippets when directed 
Thank you for your help, Hannah
