Frontend Publishing WordPress Plugin
Allow your registered members to submit, edit and delete posts from the frontend.
This lightweight plugin allows you to accept guest posts/articles without giving your members access to the sensitive WordPress control panel. It will automatically filter out all the posts that don't meet the submission guidelines of your website. It can be a huge time saver if you have a very popular blog or article directory.
In the backend control panel you can specify the following:
- maximum and minimum number of words in title, content and author bio
- number of tags
- number of links in article body and author bio
- whether you want to nofollow the links in article body and/or author bio
You can allow members with a certain user level to publish posts instantly. All other posts are added to the 'pending' queue.
