The WPForms Post Submissions Addon is the official WPForms extension that allows your site visitors to create and submit WordPress posts directly from the frontend, without needing to access the admin dashboard. It is the ideal solution for blogs that accept guest articles, sites with user-generated content, event directories, and any project that needs to publish content collaboratively and securely.
With this addon, you can build post submission forms using the WPForms drag-and-drop builder, including fields such as post title, content, excerpt, featured image, categories, and custom fields. The addon automatically maps each form field to the corresponding WordPress metadata, allowing you to collect all necessary information in a structured and organized way.
One of its most powerful features is full control over the publishing workflow. You can set the default status of submitted posts (draft, pending, private, or published), select the content type (posts, pages, or other custom post types), and assign a default author for each submission. This allows you to moderate content before it becomes publicly visible, maintaining the editorial quality of your site.
The addon also supports the inclusion of custom metadata (post meta), expanding customization possibilities for more advanced projects. Additionally, it includes a pre-designed blog post submission form template that speeds up initial setup, allowing you to launch your collaborative publishing system in minutes.
If you manage a blog that accepts external contributions or need to enable content publishing by your users in a secure and controlled way, the WPForms Post Submissions Addon is the tool you need to transform your forms into a complete frontend publishing system.
