MB Frontend Submission

Sites that accept content from outside contributors often face a choice: give people dashboard access or collect submissions by email. MB Frontend Submission removes that choice. You build a form from standard post fields and Meta Box custom fields, and contributors fill it in on a normal page of your site. Admins keep control of the workflow and review what arrives.

Each form is placed on a page with a shortcode, so no extra coding is needed. Forms can include a title, content, excerpt, date and featured image, along with fields such as sliders, file uploads and maps. Contributors can also manage their entries from a front-end dashboard. It suits guest blogging, job listings, classifieds, real estate listings and review portals.

Features

• Custom front-end forms: Build submission forms from any mix of standard post fields and Meta Box custom fields, so each form collects exactly the content your site needs.
• Shortcode embedding: Place a form anywhere on your WordPress site with a simple shortcode. No additional coding is required to display it on a page or post.
• Standard post fields: Forms can capture the title, content with a WYSIWYG editor, excerpt, date and time picker, and featured image for each submitted entry.
• Advanced custom fields: Add sliders, file uploaders, map fields and cloneable fields when you need to collect more complex information from contributors.
• Front-end dashboard: Users can submit new posts, edit their existing submissions or delete content from a dedicated dashboard on the front end of your site.
• Flexible post status: Choose whether submissions publish right away, save as drafts or go to an admin for review, depending on how you want to run your workflow.
• Taxonomy support: Use Meta Box taxonomy fields so contributors can assign categories and tags, keeping submitted content organized with the rest of your site.
• Centralized moderation: Admins can review, approve, edit or delete submitted posts from one place, without giving contributors access to the WordPress dashboard.
