This lightweight frontend posting plugin allows you to accept guest posts/articles without giving your members access to the sensitive WordPress admin area.
The posts that don't meet the submission guidelines of your website are not accepted and an error is shown to the frontend user. This can be a huge time saver if you have a very popular blog and you get a lot of guest post submissions.
In the WordPress admin area you can specify the following:
- maximum and minimum number of words in title, content and author bio
- number of tags
- number of links in article body and author bio
- whether you want to nofollow the links in article body and/or author bio
You can allow members with a certain user level to publish posts instantly. All other posts are added to the 'pending' queue.
Usage:
Add a page with the following shortcode to create a frontend submission form:
[fep_submission_form]
Add another page with the following shortcode to create a list of user's posts:
[fep_article_list]
Important: DO NOT add the two codes on the same post or page
