Everest Forms Post Submissions

Sites that accept guest posts or user-generated content often face a dilemma: contributors need a way to send in work, but giving them dashboard access is a risk. Everest Forms Post Submissions solves this with a front-end form. Contributors fill it in on a normal page, and the entry becomes a post on your site. Administrators decide how each submission is handled, as a draft, as pending review, or as published right away.

You build the submission form in the Everest Forms drag-and-drop builder, then map its fields to post fields such as title, content, excerpt, featured image and custom fields. Submissions can go to standard posts or to custom post types, with categories, tags and custom taxonomies supported. This fits news portals, multi-author blogs, and sites with specialized content like portfolios, events or product listings.

Features

• Front-end post creation: Visitors submit posts from a page on your site, so contributors never need access to the WordPress backend to send in their work.
• Custom post type support: Accept submissions for any post type, from standard blog posts to portfolios, events or product listings, depending on what your site publishes.
• Categories, tags and taxonomies: Submissions can be assigned categories, tags and custom taxonomies, which keeps incoming content organized and in line with your site structure.
• Post status control: Set each submission to arrive as a draft, as pending review, or as published immediately, so you control the publishing workflow.
• Drag-and-drop form building: Design the submission form in the Everest Forms builder and adjust it to match the content you want to collect.
• Flexible field mapping: Assign form fields to the post title, content, excerpt, featured image and custom fields so submitted data lands in the right place.
• Front-end post editing: Users can update their own submitted posts from the front end, which helps keep their content current without admin access.
• Spam protection with CAPTCHA: Built-in anti-spam measures, including CAPTCHA integration, help keep unwanted content out of your submissions.
