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.

Post Submissions for Elementor Forms instantly turns your Elementor Forms into a powerful, frontend publishing platform. Let your visitors, registered users, or clients submit WordPress posts directly from the frontend of your website without ever seeing the complex WordPress admin dashboard.

Whether you are building a directory site, a guest blogging portal, a job listing board, or taking customer testimonials, this add-on gives you absolute control over what gets submitted and how it gets published. It maps Elementor form fields directly to your WordPress post data structure flawlessly.

Perfect for: Guest Posts, Job Boards, Real Estate Listings, Product Reviews, Client Testimonials, and any Custom Post Type submissions.

Features

  • Frontend Post Creation: Allow users to create posts directly from any page built with Elementor. Keep them on your site and engaged.
  • Smart Data Mapping: Map your Elementor form fields (Text, Textarea, File Upload) directly to WordPress core fields (Post Title, Post Content, Post Excerpt, and Featured Image).
  • Taxonomy Support: Automatically assign submitted posts to specific Categories and Tags natively.
  • Custom Post Type (CPT) Ready: Submit data to ANY registered Custom Post Type, not just standard blog posts. Perfect for WooCommerce Products, Portfolio items, or Event listings.
  • Control Post Status: Set the default submission status. Have submissions automatically go live as “Published” or hold them securely as “Draft” or “Pending Review” for admin approval.
  • Author Assignment: Automatically assign new posts to a specific WordPress user or leave them unassigned.
  • Developer Friendly: Packed with custom hooks and filters for deep customization by advanced users.

Pro Features

  • Unlimited Custom Fields (Post Meta): Map form fields to any custom meta_key in the database. Save complex data (like “Salary” for a Job Board) exactly where it belongs.
  • Advanced Conditional Logic: Add smart rules. Only create a post if a specific condition is met (e.g., if a checkbox “I agree to publish…” is checked).
  • Taxonomy Mapping (Pro): Allow users to select their own Categories or Tags from a frontend dropdown or checkbox field instead of hardcoding them.
  • Create New Terms (Pro): Categories, tags and any custom taxonomy terms submitted through the form are created automatically when they do not exist yet.
  • Custom Taxonomies (Pro): Select existing terms or add new terms for every public taxonomy of the chosen post type (product categories, portfolio types, …).
  • Author Source (Pro): Assign the post to the current logged-in user, resolve the author from a form field (email / username / ID), or create a new WordPress user automatically.
