Overview
Contributors often need a way to submit content without access to the WordPress dashboard. MB Frontend Submission lets site owners create forms for posts and other content using standard post fields alongside Meta Box fields. Add details such as titles, content, excerpts, dates, and featured images, or use custom fields for more specialized information.
Forms can be embedded on site pages with shortcodes. Contributors can use a front-end dashboard to submit new posts, edit existing submissions, or delete content. Site owners choose whether submissions are published, saved as drafts, or sent for admin review. Taxonomy fields can collect categories and tags, making the plugin useful for community sites, classifieds, and listings.
Features
- Build custom forms: Create submission forms with combinations of standard post fields and Meta Box custom fields to collect the details each content type requires.
- Embed forms with shortcodes: Place submission forms on pages across your WordPress site using shortcodes, without writing additional code.
- Collect post details: Add fields for titles, content, excerpts, dates, and featured images, including a WYSIWYG editor for post content.
- Use custom field types: Collect specialized information with custom fields such as sliders, file uploads, map fields, and cloning capabilities.
- Manage submissions: Give contributors a front-end dashboard where they can submit new posts, edit existing submissions, or delete their content.
- Set post status: Choose whether submitted posts are published immediately, saved as drafts, or routed to an administrator for review.
