Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Publish your first frontend submission form in four steps: choose a ready-to-use form, configure its fields, add the shortcode to a page, and submit a test entry.

Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite gives WordPress sites a practical frontend workflow for standard posts. Start with a guest form or a login-required form, then decide which fields appear, how submitted posts are handled, and who receives notifications—without building a custom form system.

Start With a Ready-to-Use Form

After activation, the Quick Start guide points administrators through the first-success path:

  • Choose the Guest Post Form or Login Require Form.
  • Configure labels, required fields, post status, notifications, and spam protection.
  • Publish the form using its shortcode.
  • Submit a test entry and confirm the expected post status.

What Lite Includes

  • Guest and login-required frontend forms for standard WordPress posts
  • A drag-and-drop form builder
  • Unlimited simple text and textarea custom fields
  • Five pre-designed frontend templates

  • Configurable post status, author, format, character limits, and form components
  • Administrator and submitter email notifications

Privacy
