Overview
Many sites need people other than the administrator to add or change content. Sending them into the WordPress backend can be confusing and gives them more access than they need. This plugin puts editing, publishing and profile updates on the frontend instead, where you decide who can do what through permission settings. Site owners, collaborators and regular users work from a dashboard that sits on the site itself.
Forms are a large part of how it works. You can build registration forms, contact forms and other custom forms, and it works with Elementor through a nestable forms widget where you drag and drop fields. Pro features add multi-step forms, limits on submissions, email notifications and PDFs generated from entries. It also supports Stripe and PayPal payments, WooCommerce product creation from the frontend, and Mailchimp subscriber management. That makes it a fit for user-generated content sites and frontend dashboards.
Features
- Frontend editing and publishing: Users can edit posts and custom post types, and publish new content, directly from the frontend of the site without logging in to the WordPress backend.
- Permission control: Choose which users can reach the WordPress admin, and set frontend permissions for editing, posting and updating profiles.
- Elementor nestable forms widget: Drag and drop form fields in Elementor to build flexible frontend forms that match the design of your site.
- Inline field editing: Display field values with shortcodes and let authorized users modify them inline, right where the content appears on the page.
- Registration and profile editing: Let visitors sign up and update their own profiles from the frontend, so account tasks stay on your site's own pages.
- Modal popup support: Show forms, notifications or messages inside modal popups, so users can complete a task without leaving the page they are on.
- Advanced form tools: Pro features include automated email notifications, multi-step forms, limits on form submissions and automatic PDF generation from form entries.
- Payments and WooCommerce: Accept payments through Stripe or PayPal, and let users create WooCommerce products from the frontend. Mailchimp subscribers can be managed from form submissions.

- Sites that accept user-generated content
