Reply To: Publishing to custom fields from front end?

It’s a custom post type called Events. Right now, it’s just a textbox called Test Field. For now, I need to be able to put textbox and textarea on the front end (but would like to maybe put a repeater there, if possible, but I’m not sure that it is).

This is above the header:

<?php
 
if ( isset( $_POST['submitted'] ) && isset( $_POST['post_nonce_field'] ) && wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['post_nonce_field'], 'post_nonce' ) ) {
 
    if ( trim( $_POST['postTitle'] ) === '' ) {
        $postTitleError = 'Please enter a title.';
        $hasError = true;
    }
 
    $post_information = array(
        'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['postTitle'] ),
        'post_content' => $_POST['postContent'],
        'post_type' => 'events',
        'post_status' => 'publish'
    );
 
    wp_insert_post( $post_information );
 
}
 
?>

And this is the actual form:

<form action="" id="primaryPostForm" method="POST">
 
    <fieldset>
        <label for="postTitle"><?php _e('Post Title:', 'framework') ?></label>
 
        <input type="text" name="postTitle" id="postTitle" class="required" value="<?php if ( isset( $_POST['postTitle'] ) ) echo $_POST['postTitle']; ?>" />
    </fieldset>
 
    <fieldset>
        <label for="postContent"><?php _e('Post Content:', 'framework') ?></label>
 
        <textarea name="postContent" id="postContent" rows="8" cols="30" class="required"><?php if ( isset( $_POST['postContent'] ) ) { if ( function_exists( 'stripslashes' ) ) { echo stripslashes( $_POST['postContent'] ); } else { echo $_POST['postContent']; } } ?></textarea>
    </fieldset>
 
    <fieldset>
        <input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" value="true" />
 
        <button type="submit"><?php _e('Add Post', 'framework') ?></button>
        <?php wp_nonce_field( 'post_nonce', 'post_nonce_field' ); ?>
    </fieldset>
 
</form>
<?php if ( $postTitleError != '' ) { ?>
    <span class="error"><?php echo $postTitleError; ?></span>
    <div class="clearfix"></div>
<?php } ?>

When I post to the Events post type from the front end, I just need to be able to put data in these custom fields, also.
