Description
This plugin provides a secure and isolated way to allow posting to your WordPress site from the frontend. It creates a special page with a posting form that is protected by a custom username and password that you set in the admin area. This does not use the standard WordPress user system, making it ideal for guest posts or simple submission forms where you don’t want to create a full user account for the author.
Core Features:
* No WordPress Account Needed: Visitors can post content using a single, shared username and password you define.
* Admin Settings Page: Easily configure the login credentials and the URL slug for the posting page.
* Control Post Status: Choose whether submissions are immediately published or saved as “Draft” for review.
* Featured Image Support: Allows authors to upload a featured image with their post.
* Additional Images: Now supports uploading 2 additional images that will be displayed in the post content.
* Secure: Uses WordPress nonces and best practices to ensure submission forms are secure.
This plugin is fully functional on its own. We also offer a Pro version for those who need more features.
