What it does
Accepting guest posts or user content usually means creating accounts and handing out dashboard access, which many site owners would rather avoid. This extension solves that by turning a regular Everest Forms form into a post submission form. Contributors fill it out on a normal page of your site, and the entry becomes a WordPress post. You choose whether new submissions land as drafts, wait as pending review, or go live right away, so editorial control stays with you.
Forms are built with the Everest Forms drag-and-drop builder, which means the Everest Forms plugin is required. You map form fields to post fields such as the title, content, excerpt, featured image and custom fields. Submissions can target standard posts or custom post types like portfolios, events or listings, and they can be assigned categories, tags and custom taxonomies. Contributors can also return to edit their posts from the front end, and CAPTCHA support helps keep spam out.
Best for
- Blogs that accept guest posts
- Community and news sites with many contributors
- Directories or portfolios built on custom post types
