Description

The Post Submissions extension enables the submission of posts from the frontend using Everest Forms, mapping fields such as title, content, featured image, and excerpt to the respective post attributes in WordPress. The submissions can be published directly or recorded as draft, pending approval, or private, with the option to assign tags, categories, author, and custom metadata to each new post created by the form.

Key Features

  • Frontend post submission
    Allows visitors and users to publish posts in WordPress via Everest Forms.
  • Dedicated post fields
    Provides custom fields for title, content, featured image, and post excerpt in the form builder.
  • Configurable publication status
    Sets each submission as Published, Draft, Pending, or Private per the site’s editorial workflow.
  • Assignable tags & categories
    Links the form to WordPress taxonomies, allowing post classification at submission time.
  • Customizable post author
    Determines which user is shown as the author of posts created by the submitted form.

Benefits of Post Submissions

  • Community-submitted content
    Accepts posts from visitors and external collaborators without granting access to the WordPress admin dashboard.
  • Preserved editorial control
    Pending and Draft statuses maintain moderation before any submission goes live.
  • Organized material capture
    All post data arrives structured in a single submission, ready for immediate publishing.
  • No-code configuration
    All integration between the form and post type is handled through the Everest Forms panel.

Who is it recommended for?

  • Collaborative blogs that accept contributions from external authors.
  • News portals and magazines with open content submissions from the audience.
  • Directories, communities, and listing sites powered by user-submitted content.
  • Agencies and developers who need to avoid granting wp-admin access to occasional collaborators.

Combining structured content collection on the frontend with native WordPress editorial controls (status, author, taxonomy), the Post Submissions component positions Everest Forms as an entry layer for portals that rely on external collaboration. It serves from community blogs to user-listed directories, keeping admin access limited to the internal team and preserving the moderation flow.
