Looking to allow users to contribute guest posts and other content from the WordPress frontend? Do you want your WordPress website to feature user-generated content and user-submitted posts? Wondering how to handle the client (user) submissions, especially when you have created a Custom Post Type (CPT) with custom taxonomies and meta fields?
In this article, we will show how you can allow users to submit posts (posts, pages, custom post types, & WooCommerce products) to your WordPress site. You can easily accept guest post submissions, user-submitted events, and many others without granting access to your WordPress dashboard.
Receiving content from site visitors is a great way to get new content for your site and growing your business.
For example,
In WordPress, in order to write a post, you would have to login into the admin area. If you want to receive content from site visitors without logging in you would need to have a frontend post submission form on your WordPress site.
Let’s see how you can create a WordPress post submission form and receive user-submitted posts on your site.
There are several ways to do this, but the easiest and quickest way to do this is by using a WordPress frontend post submission plugin. In this article, we will use Tablesome, which is not only a WordPress frontend post submission plugin but a WordPress automation plugin.
Tablesome provides an easy way for visitors to submit content to your site. You can create a page, post, or use any available custom post type when a form is submitted.
You can choose to save it to draft so that you can review and approve it or publish the post immediately.
Let’s see each step in detail.
Next, you have to setup the post-creation workflow using Tablesome. You can choose the form that you want to automate and the action that should be performed when a new form is submitted.
Next, you can map the form fields to the available post fields that you’ve created.
Now you can save the form and test if the posts are being created on the All Posts page.
Besides creating posts with Tablesome you can perform multiple actions after form submission that is you can add users, save form entries, automatically export entries, and more.
