Ninja Forms Post Creation (Front-End Posting)

Many sites want content from their audience: student assignments, product reviews, community articles or announcements. Giving those contributors a WordPress login and dashboard access is often more than you want to hand out. This plugin solves that by letting people submit content through a front-end form built with Ninja Forms, while the admin area stays closed to them.

You build the form in the Ninja Forms builder, then map it to create a post, page or custom post type. You choose the default status, such as Draft, Pending or Publish, so you can review entries before they go live. Categories, tags and custom taxonomies can be preset or chosen by the submitter. Posts can be credited to the logged-in user or to a registered user you pick.

Features

• Create posts from forms: Turn a Ninja Forms form into a way to create posts, pages or custom post types directly from the front end of your site.
• Default post status control: Set submissions to arrive as Draft, Pending or Publish, which lets you build an approval workflow that matches how you moderate content.
• Categories, tags and taxonomies: Predefine categories, tags and custom taxonomies, or let submitters select and assign them themselves for organized content.
• Author attribution options: Credit a post to the current logged-in user or assign it to any registered user, keeping authorship clear.
• Registered and guest submitters: Accept content from both registered and non-registered users, so contributions are open to anyone you want to invite.
• Rich text editing: Use the Ninja Forms HTML field to give users a rich text editor, so they can format posts with headings, lists and more.
• File upload support: Combine the form with file upload capabilities so submissions can include images, videos and other files alongside the text.
• Email notifications: Receive an email when a new submission arrives, so content waiting for review and approval does not go unnoticed.
