Dear, you could offer a new UI for showing the post list. The plugin is great but the post list separated in tabs by status is not so great and users don’t like it. The post list could be something like in the backend. Do you have any solution for this?
Hi. Thanks for using the plugin. Even in the admin area there are links for viewing posts belonging to different post types.
I’ve noticed that you don’t have support for the plugin. Please renew your subscription for continued support.
Dear, thank you for your answers. Just use my feedback as an input for a new feature on your roadmap.
I applied the most recent update and users are no longer able to edit posts from the dashboard. There are no links for editing or viewing of any sort. The only they can edit is by going to a published post to edit.
I can see their drafts on the backend, of course, but they can do nothing with their drafts on the frontend.
The only change I’ve made in the past week on my site—was applying the update for Frontend Pro.
Ah, apparently turned out to be a plugin conflict. It wasn’t a problem before your last update but now Fast Velocity Minify is a problem for Frontend. Just FYI in my case. I’ve deleted the conflicting plug-in.
In the latest version we didn’t make any changes that could have caused this conflict.
We have an automated test suite that checks every single feature of the plugin before every single release. We also check the major functionality manually. So it is highly unlikely for a noticeable issue to slip through.
Is it possible to upload mov files?
Hey, I actual make the frist steps with your plugin. Its seems great for my needs. I only need, that authors can upload a video and this video schould automatic be the content of the post. If i Use only your media button, then the video isn`t in the post. Is there a way to solve that?
An other Question: Is it possible to upload videos from mobile? like iphone and so on?
Thanks for help.
Hi. Thanks for using the plugin. It is supposed to work just like the backend editor. You should be able to upload videos and add them to the content.
Ok, thanks for fast reply. But in my Case it doesn`t work the same. I have a Jetpack/ Videopress hosting for uploaded videos. But with your media upload it doesnt work. I upload videos only in normal way. In backend upload all works fine with videopress. Can you help me there? THANKS A LOT
Hi. I can’t be of much help if you don’t provide more details about the problem/difference in behavior. Please send a support request and include your site’s URL and login details.
Hi! I’ve bought this plugin but on another account. I want to add a file uploading button, for documents and such. But the media file upload isn’t displaying anything if its not an image. And I tried using a plugin to add a metabox for this but I cant get the metabox to show in the form. What should i do? It will be pdfs doc, maybe ppt if possible.
Are users allowed to upload media types other than images in the plugin settings?
I noticed now that more filetypes were available, thank you! But it is still not showing up on the page. See additional files:
http://46.59.100.16/index.php/news/docx/I’m sorry about that. In the current version only images are shown under the post. If you like you can fetch the meta value and display it yourself.
Oh okay no problem! How do I fetch it?
Using WP function get_post_meta: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/
What am I doing wrong? I only get hej
<?php function get_post_meta_files( $post_id, $key = ‘stuff’, $single = false ) { echo ‘hej’; return get_metadata(‘post’, $post_id, $key, $single); }
echo get_post_meta_files();?>
Why does this return nothing?
<?php echo get_metadata($post_id, ‘files’, false);?>
Because in the line echo get_post_meta_files(); you are not passing in the post ID which is a required argument.
I only got it to return a number or nothing. Why isnt the file showing up?
<?php echo get_metadata($post_id, ‘files’, false);?>
If you pass this the correct $post_id and there is a value in the DB then you will see a result.
I use that code (but with add_files because i changed it 100 times). With get_post_meta i got it to return 264 or something, With get_metadata theres nothing…
<?php echo get_metadata($post->ID, ‘add_files’, true);?>
Seriously I’ve tried everything can you please help? It seems to just return an empty array. Im not good at php and i shouldnt have to be to use this plugin! I just want people to be able to upload a file which the plugin says is possible! Its not very possible if no one can see what someone has uploaded!!
I’m sorry about the inconvenience.
“With get_post_meta i got it to return 264”
264 must be the ID of the item stored in the media library so the value returned was correct. If you use the same function but change the element type to media URL instead of media ID you should be able to achieve what you are trying to achieve. You can change the element type in the form settings.
Or you could just wait till we can fix this issue for you 
Im not using media ID im using media file. I will try to use Media URL. When can you fix it for me if that doesnt work?
Nothing happens still. I need help. My client wants to launch…
Please send me your site’s URL and login details using the support form. Also include the name of the file where you have been making changes.
I have sent you an email with this, last week. Have you had time to look at it yet?
I’ve sent you several emails. Have you not received them? Anyway, the issue you were facing has been resolved in the latest version of the plugin.
No? Not even in my junkmail inbox.. Okay great! So i just need to choose to show it now or I still need the code in the file?
No need to change the files.
How long after I add the purchase code will an update button appear on the plugin page? Or how do I do to update the plugin manually?
It usually becomes active right away. You can download the new version from CodeCanyon for manual update.
When I download it I get the 3.8.3 version. Maybe codecanyon hasnt understood that there’s a new version somehow?
Sorry I forgot that version 3.8.4 is still being reviewed by the envato team. Are you not able to see the automatic update option on the updates page?
That explains it No no update option at all on the plugins page.
What about the updates page? The one under Dashboard in the admin area.
There it was! But I got an error message:
An error occurred while updating Frontend Publishing Pro: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Invalid archive structure
That’s weird. I just tried updating the plugin on one of my test sites and it worked without any issues.
Hmm maybe its a permission issue? I tried again and now it said from the plugin page: Update Failed: Download failed. Forbidden.
But I have updated other plugins without issues.
The update finally came thorugh! So it shows something frontend but it says missing attachment even though i uploaded the file just now and i can see it in the backend.
http://46.59.100.16/index.php/news/extra-files/Please send me your site’s URL and login details and I will take a look. I tested your scenario before releasing this version and it seemed to be working fine.
Thank you! I sent you an email the other day with that, should I send a new one?
That email did not have your site’s login details.
I created a new post and it is working perfectly: http://46.59.100.16/index.php/news/test-frontend-post/
Oh okay great! Then maybe for me it was just something weird. Thank you
Hi. I am looking for a plugin that allows logged-in Subscribers to submit a post from the front end that can remain pending, and then Editors can log in, see a list of pending posts – also from the front end – and edit them, either leaving them pending or approving them. Can your plugin do that? Cheers, Steve.
Hi. This is exactly what the plugin does
Hello, Im interested in buying this plugin, but i would like to know can i block media library when someone wants to add a picture?? Because in the basic plugin i can not do that… I dont want anyone to have access to my library… Thank You
Hi. Thanks for looking at the plugin. In the premium version the media library only shows items uploaded by the currently logged in user. This behavior is controlled by an option in the admin area.
OK, thank you for your answer
Hello, I have some problem. The content is not displayed in post
Please send me a support requests with your site’s URL and login details.
Also, please include a screenshot of the issue.
Hi khaxan, is it possbile (in the pro-version) that unregistered users can submit content with images (images within the content)? tyvm in advance
Hi. Thanks for looking at the plugin. For unregistered users you can accept images in custom fields and these custom fields are displayed above or under the content. These images won’t appear within the content as embedded media.
Hello, couple of presales questions:
1. We need to make to provide users with user submitted interface on the website that is built primarily with hebrew language. Would it be possible to translate your plugin so it would display interface on hebrew? Do I need WPML for that?
2. Would it be possible to have the submitted content to go first to moderation queue and only after approval to appear on the site?
3. Can this form http://wpfrontendpublishing.com/form/ be customized – meaning can we chose which fields to display int his form and which to remove?
4. Can we provide anonymous posting or do users have to go through registration process and create users on wordpress?
Thank you!
Hi. Thanks for looking at the plugin.
1. Recently a user reported that the date picker doesn’t support hebrew language. Other than that you should be able to get everything translated with the help of included POT files. WPML is not required.
2. Yes posts can be saved as pending first.
3. Yes this is possible using the drag and drop form builder interface provided in the admin area.
4. Anonymous posting is supported.
Thanks Hassan
Thank you, but it won’t be displayed as RTL, right? I mean the headings will be translated, but instead of being located on the right side of the page, the field headings will be located on the left.
You can easily move them to the correct side of the page with a bit of custom CSS. I can help with that.
Hello,
There is a problem with this plugin on roles. If I allow subscribers to upload images, they can create posts and see all images of the site in the administration. I tried to disable these capabilities with a plugin but it does not work, Because your plugin blocks these changes. You would have to see this because I can not use it like that. Because it makes no sense if the user can create articles in the backend.
Thank you !
Hi. Sorry about the late reply.
To allow subscribers to upload, the plugin grants some extra capabilities. Once the user has a capability they can perform all the actions that come with it. If you like you can block access to the whole admin area – or parts of it – with a plugin like Adminimize.
What is the edit links tab for? and what is “Override Edit Links for” option for? I’m not sure how to use this section
Many themes show a small “Edit” link below the post content. This section allows you to change the target of these links.
How can I add a preview-button for the user before they submit the post?
The preview button is shown automatically after the post has been submitted. Currently there is no way of adding a preview button before that unfortunately.
hi, I’ve a presale question, is it possible to add an attachment field instead of post image for users to attach any type of file to the posts? thanks
Yes you can accept any kind of media using a custom field. However it will not automatically replace post featured image on your website.
Hi, I need to let the visitors of my website to upload medias : but actually only registered users can do this. Any idea how to fix it ?
Please read this: http://wpfrontendpublishing.com/how-to-enable-anonymous-posting/
Thanks, problem solved =)
Interesting,
The author has actual access to all images on the server? After clicking on Media > He’ll see Logos, patterns, featured images of others > all that styling?
In other words, is there any “by role” functionality?
If you want you can give users access to their own media items only. This can be controlled in the media settings.
Feature request – Could you create an option for the fields to remove the label? I was looking at the label fields and their attributes are custom. There’s also this orphaned class attribute. For example:
<label for="frontend-form-2-post-data-custom-field-truck-image-2" class="">Truck Image 2</label>
And can you also put the pretext in a <p></p> element so that it can be styled?
Are there any filter hooks that I can use to modify the user submitted content?
You can use the default WordPress hooks that are fired at the time of content creation. Specifically the ones in wp_insert_post and wp_update_post.
Is there a way to limit the amount of images that the user can add? I’ve added Maximum Count validator to the Gallery Custom Fields but it seems to be letting more than the Maximum Count be attached.
So I was testing all the validators one more time and it’s allowing me to submit a completely blank post even with the minimum character and word counts..
In the settings you can disable validation for certain roles. By default it is disabled for admin. Could this be the issue?
AH THANKS
I managed to test all the validators I needed but the final one that doesn’t seem to be working is the Maximum Links. I set it to 0 but both plain text www.google.com and linked ( element) http://www.google.com pass through
Try setting it to one and testing with 2 links.
I set the validator to max 1 link. 2 links tripped the validator. However, the user can still submit plain text urls
I set max links to -1 and it the validator tripped at 1 link. I just need to be able to remove the possibility of plain text emails and links, which I was hoping to solve through a filter if you had any exposed hooks (my comment below)
EDIT – actually -1 links doesn’t work, it will trip even if there are 0 links.
I found another issue. If I use WordPress’ [gallery] shortcode in a post it will only display images that are associated with that specific post. By using the Media Id or Gallery Elements in FEPP the user has the ability to add file Ids via a custom field to the post but does not associate the file directly to the post so [gallery] does not show any of the images sine they are not attached.
This is how the plugin has been intentionally designed. When the user opens a form, he/she can start uploading images right away but at this point there is no post to link these images to. This is why images are never linked.
Do you have any examples of how users display these images easily?
You can use the custom fields addon to display the images with a shortcode.
Thanks that worked!
I’d like to auto fill fields from wordpress variables like the current user’s email.
One other work around I was thinking of was to allow users to auto populate fields based on query parameters by providing the input’s with a name”
In the form’s settings it would be also great to allow placeholder values.
