# Create a new post type

Create a new form and set `Post Management` as action.

Pick up the desired post type and leave the Post blank:

Finally, map the meta fields if needed.

At this stage, you are ready to [build the form](/forms/the-form-builder.md) as desired.

Suppose you have a post type called *movie*, and want a form to create new movies from your website users like this:

You can render the form everywhere just by using the generated shortcode.

Let's take a look at the form on the **Twenty Twenty-One** standard theme:

{% hint style="info" %}
A new movie post is created in "**Draft**" status when this form is submitted.
{% endhint %}
