Description

The Post Submissions addon enables post submission directly from the front end through User Registration forms, transforming form fields into the title, content, excerpt, featured image, and taxonomies of the chosen post type. Visitors and registered users publish content without accessing wp-admin, with a pending moderation workflow or immediate publication according to the role assigned in User Registration.

Key Features

  • Field mapping for posts
    Maps form fields to the title, content, excerpt, featured image, and custom fields.
  • Post type selection
    Lets you define which post type receives submissions, including CPTs registered on the site.
  • Publication status control
    Defines whether the submission is saved as a draft, pending review, or published automatically.
  • Taxonomy assignment
    Links categories and tags to the submitted post from form selection fields.
  • Featured image upload
    Accepts image files submitted by the user as the featured image of the created post.
  • Automatic author assignment through registration
    Sets the user authenticated through User Registration as the author of the submitted post.

Benefits of Post Submissions

  • User-generated content
    Opens a publishing channel for the audience without exposing the admin dashboard.
  • Centralized moderation
    Pending posts remain accessible in the standard WordPress editor for review before going live.
  • Registration and publishing in the same workflow
    Reduces friction by combining account registration and the first contribution into a single step.
  • CPT compatibility
    Uses the site’s custom content types to receive structured submissions.

Who Is It For?

  • News portals and digital magazines that accept community contributions.
  • Directories, classifieds, and listing sites with entries submitted by the public.
  • Multi-author blogs and themed communities that decentralize content production.

Designed for collaborative portal editors, directory managers, and community administrators, Post Submissions turns the User Registration registration form into a front-end publishing channel. The combination of field mapping, status control, and CPT support sustains operations where every new member is also a potential author, while keeping all curation within WordPress’s native review workflow.
