UsersWP Frontend Post

Sites that accept content from other people often face a choice: give contributors backend access or collect posts by email and paste them in. UsersWP Frontend Post removes that choice. You place a submission form on any page with a shortcode or block, and contributors write and send their work from the public side of your site. Your dashboard stays closed to them.

The plugin works as an add-on to UsersWP, and its settings sit in the UsersWP interface. You decide whether guests can submit, what status new posts receive, which messages appear and whether reCAPTCHA is on. It suits multi-author blogs, guest posting sites and community projects where several people contribute and an administrator reviews the results.

Features

• Submission form by shortcode or block: Add a customizable post submission form to any page using a shortcode or block, so contributors can send content without going near the WordPress dashboard.
• Blog posts and custom post types: Users can submit standard blog posts or any custom post type, which lets one form setup serve sites with different kinds of content.
• Guest submissions with account creation: Guests can submit a post by entering a name and email. The plugin creates a new user account and assigns the post to it.
• Moderation and default post status: Admins set the default status for new posts as pending, draft or published, then review and moderate submissions to keep quality consistent.
• Front-end post editing: Registered users can edit the posts they have submitted directly from the front end, so small corrections do not require admin help.
• Separate email notifications: Customize and manage distinct email notifications for users and administrators, keeping both sides informed about submission statuses and updates.
• reCAPTCHA spam protection: Turn on reCAPTCHA to guard the submission form against spam and bot abuse, which helps keep user-generated content worth reviewing.
• Translatable and easy to configure: The add-on is fully translatable for multilingual sites, and its settings panel in UsersWP handles guest submissions, messages and captcha toggles in one place.

Best for

• Multi-author blogs that need contributors outside the dashboard
