**Content:**

## Description

The `wpforms_post_submissions_post_args` filter is used to populate all the arguments of the submission such as title, post type, etc when using the **Post Submissions addon** from WPForms.

## Parameters

$post\_args*(array) (Required)* Arguments from the post submission such as Category ID, Tag ID, Author ID, etc.$form\_data*array* Form settings/data.$fields*array* Sanitized entry field values/properties.## Source

`wpforms-post-submissions/class-post-submissions.php`

## More Information

The `wpforms_post_submissions_post_args` fires immediately when the submission is processed to set the post title, category, etc inside the post.

## Examples

In the example code, you’ll see we’re first checking the form ID to make sure it matches the form that’s being targeted. Then we’re checking a specific field (by the fields ID) to see if it’s empty.

Just remember to change the form ID from **1378** to match your form ID and change the **’10’** to match your field ID.

If you need assistance in where to find your form and field IDs, [please review this tutorial](https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-locate-form-id-and-field-id/ "How to Locate Form ID and Field ID").

We’re going to see if the dropdown matches **FAQ** and if it does, change it from the post type of **post** to **my\_faq**.
