Description

The Post Submissions addon turns WPForms forms into content submission flows, mapping form fields to the title, body, featured image, categories, and tags of any custom post type. Aimed at those who manage blogs with external contributors, collect client testimonials, or accept guest posts, it lets you review each submission as a draft before publishing from the WordPress dashboard.

Key Features of Post Submissions

  • Field-to-post mapping
    Links form fields directly to the title, content, and excerpt of the generated post.
  • Custom post type support
    Accepts submissions to any registered post type, not just default posts.
  • Featured image upload
    The visitor attaches a file that becomes the featured image of the created post.
  • Categories and tags via form
    Add dropdowns or checkboxes for taxonomies selectable by the sender.
  • Publication status control
    Submissions are saved as draft, pending, or published according to the rule set in the form.
