Description

Frontend Submission adds front-end submission forms to Meta Box for creating or editing posts, collecting standard fields like title, content, excerpt, and featured image alongside Meta Box’s own custom fields. This add-on module helps sites with user-submitted content centralize submissions, review posts before they go live, and reduce the need to grant admin dashboard access to each contributor.

  • Front-end forms
    Creates public screens for submitting posts and custom fields.

Benefits of Frontend Submission

  • Less admin access
    Contributors submit content without entering the WordPress dashboard.
  • More organized review
    Submissions are centralized for approval before publishing.
  • Flexible editorial workflows
    The site accepts drafts, revisions, or publications depending on configuration.
  • More structured collection
    Custom fields standardize data submitted by visitors and contributors.

Who Is It For?

  • Directory, classifieds, real estate, and user-generated listing sites.
  • Editorial portals, collaborative blogs, and communities with external content submission.
  • Developers who already use Meta Box to create custom fields in WordPress.

The Frontend Submission addon extends Meta Box usage beyond the admin dashboard, bringing field groups and post data to controlled public forms. It is suited for projects that rely on external contribution but still need curation, data standardization, and control over what is saved or published in WordPress.
