What it does
Collecting content from visitors usually means reading each entry, then rebuilding it by hand as a post in the WordPress editor. This add-on removes that step. When someone submits a form built with NEX-Forms, the submission is turned into a post or page using the settings you have chosen. It suits blogs that accept guest entries, recipe sites built on reader submissions, directories and profile pages, along with other sites that grow through user-provided content.
Setup happens through field mapping. You decide which form field becomes the post title, which becomes the body content and which fills the excerpt. Categories, tags and author settings can also come from form data, and a file upload field can supply the featured image. Form building, validation and submission handling stay with NEX-Forms itself, so the add-on works alongside the forms you already have and keeps you in control of how each resulting post is configured.
Best for
- Blogs that accept guest or reader submissions
- Recipe sites built on user-submitted recipes
- Directories and sites with user profile pages
