What it does
Many WordPress sites need people other than the admin to add or change content. Sending contributors, clients or customers into the backend can be confusing, and it gives them access to more than they need. This plugin lets you build frontend forms and dashboards so users can publish posts, edit custom post types, register and update profiles from pages on your site. You decide which users can reach the WordPress admin and set frontend permissions for editing, posting and profile changes.
Forms are built in Elementor with a nestable forms widget, so you drag fields into place and style them to match your design. Shortcodes can display field values and allow inline editing for authorized users. Pro tools add email notifications, multi-step forms, submission limits, automatic PDFs from entries, Stripe and PayPal payments, Mailchimp subscriber handling and frontend WooCommerce product creation. It suits user-generated content sites, client dashboards and Platform as a Service style setups.
Best for
- User-generated content and community sites
- Agencies building frontend dashboards for clients
