- Have you seen websites where users are allowed to submit posts or other content on the site? Do you want to have a site where you feature user-submitted content? In this video, we will show you how to allow users to submit blog posts to your WordPress site.
This video brought to you by WPForms, take a look at their site here:

=================================
For the discount, use our code: WPBVIP
For this guide, we will be using WPForms found using the link above you should be able to purchase it. Once purchased, install and activate the plugin and in the WPForms settings add the license key for the level that you purchased. Now we can go under WPForms, Addons and activate the Post Submissions Addon to start accepting posts.
Under WPForms, Add New we will be creating a new form named whatever we like and we will scroll down to use the Blog Post Submission Form to give us most of the defaults we need to have for the post. It will bring you to the form editor where we can modify the format of the fields we're wanting to be filled out such as name, author bio, and the post information.
For categories, we will remove the dropdown and replace it with a multiple choice option and in the advanced settings for it, we will activate the Dynamic Choices option for categories to show all category options available.
In the general form settings, we can set the general information for the form as well as who/where is notified of submissions. You have the option to customize your confirmation or point it toward a specific page for the confirmation. Don't forget to select your preferred post status for the submitted posts, we don't recommend published as it is better to review the posts before having them live on your site.
Go to the page you would like to have the form live on or create a new page, add the WPForms block, and select the form you created for post submissions. Any Entires you will be able to find under WPForms, Entries where you can review them.

I am not getting the blog post submission form template, even after i have activated the post submission addon. Do we need a pro version of that? And why am I not getting it.
The name may have been tweaked since our creation of this guide you may want to check for blog pitch.
At 6:52, 'if you require users to sign in before they post then it would be them'................. Question: What plug in do we use so that the user can sign up, and how does wpforms get that hook or link that it is that user submitted the post
For user registration you can see our guide below:
www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-allow-user-registration-on-your-wordpress-site/
For questions about hooks and similar, you would want to reach out to WPForms directly for the current method. The contact form is located below:
wpforms.com/contact
Hello, while I'm getting the user's posts, none of the other information is showing up when I approve the post (name, url, tags) can you help me out? I just paid $153 to get this plug in
If you're using WPForms, you would want to reach out to the support using the contact form below and they would be able to check for errors and help yous set up what you want:
wpforms.com/contact/
Is the WPForms Pluging and the blog post for user application for free or do we have to pay for it?
The post submission addon is part of the paid version of WPForms.
I do not see the plugin option on the side bar, what do I do?
It would depend on what you are using where it is not an option, if you are using a page builder you may need to check with the page builder's support for if there is a specific method to add the plugin.

Thank you sir !!
Thank you for your request, we will be sure to look into the possibility of videos for those.
can i use lite? not pro :/
For this it requires pro at the moment.
can we upload the video by using this plugin
You can add the ability to upload videos with this but that can eat up space on your site very quickly if you are not prepared.
Hi ! Is it possible to add a tracker in the submitted form ?
For example, the user can see a page that displays their submitted form and its status ?
| Title | User | ID | Status |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| "A title 1" | wpbeginner | 1234asdf | For approval |
| "A title 2" | wpbeginner | 5555asdf | Posted |
where the status can be changed by the admin or editor
We do not have a recommended method for setting that up at the moment.
How can I automatically assigne A category to a form?
The plugin does allow you to assign or offer a field for the category to be selected
How authors should upload there blog from there personal blog
We do not have a recommended method for that at the moment
You skipped the payment part
If you wanted to add a payment option then we would recommend taking a look at the second option in our article below!
www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-create-wordpress-forms-with-a-payment-option/
How can we do this and allow that user only to view the post afterwards
At the moment we do not have a recommended method for what you're wanting to do
no rich text ?
Not at the moment.
Can the user edit their post or delete it?
Not with this method, if you wanted that you would need to create a user on the site for them
@@wpbeginner how?
Is this a free plug in?
We are using the paid version of this plugin for this guide.
Hi, how can i get my license key for my website. I purchased it from godaddy.
You should not need a license key for your website, you would only need a license key to add paid plugins and similar to your site. If WordPress is already installed then you should only need to add /wp-admin to the domain to get to your login page.
@@wpbeginner I am not getting the blog post submission form template, even after i have activated the post submission addon. Do we need a pro version of that? And why am I not getting it.
Is the license key already given?
If you have purchased the paid version of the plugin from the site then you would have a license key.
Madam my website google console get a msg for email To owner
Google has started validating your fix of Coverage issues on your site. Specifically, we are checking for ‘Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’’, which currently affects 3 pages.
Validation can take a few days; we will send you a message when the process is complete. You can monitor the progress of the test by following the link below. What i do madam
You would wait for that specific message
What if we want to charge him/her for publishing his single post on our site?
That would normally require a submission form and cooperating with who you are allowing to post on your site and a bit beyond this specific tutorial.

It would depend on what information you're looking for. You may want to take a look at our article here: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-wordpress-database-management-with-phpmyadmin/
