Does this plugin support custom meta boxes?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Our plugin supports custom fields and if your site already custom meta boxes registered by other plugins then you can just match the meta_key while adding custom fields in our plugin and they can be synchronized with those already available metaboxes.
And also the custom fields received from our plugin can be viewed in the post edit page with our plugin’s own meta box.

Hi wpshuffle, this plugin looks very interesting and I wonder if it can fit my needs. I have some pre-purchase questions regarding the datepicker & mobile UI:
1. Can we disable the mobile keyboard appearance when clicking on the datepicker? On my iphone the keyboard covers the calendar.
2. When using the datepicker, can the date format be saved as unix? I’m asking because an important plugin of my site uses the PHP strtotime() Function.
3. Is it possible to disable the zoom affect that happens on a field click on mobile?
4. Can I somehow set the calendar not to allow selection of past dates? only future ones.
Thanks in advance, Koby.
Hello Koby,
Thank you for writing to us. Here are your replies.
1. The autocomplete option is turned off for our plugin’s datepicker so it shouldn’t show up the keyboard but you can surely confirm it by visiting our demo site.
2. Yes we do have the option to save the date in string format as you have mentioned.
3. We are a bit unclear regarding this request. Please check in our demo and provide us the screenshot so that we could understand it more clearly.
4. Unfortunately we don’t have this option yet. But we will try to come up with this feature in our near future updates.
Here is our demo link.

Hi wpshuffle, thanks for your quick reply!
Unfortunately I’m not able to upload screenshots in this comment field & I think I wasn’t clear enough. I contacted you after going through your demo (BTW, currently your demo gives “This site can’t be reachedhttps://demo.wpshuffle.com/frontend-post-submission-manager/templates-demo/ is unreachable. ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE”).
1. Regarding the iphone keyboard issue I mentioned – What I meant is that when loading your frontend event form on iphone (safari and chrome browsers), when clicking a frontend date-picker field, not only the calendar pops up, but also the iOS keyboard shows up & it goes above the calendar which makes it hard to pick a date. can this be solved?
2. Thank you, I was wondering if the string format was exactly what i’m looking for.
3. I think something like this might solve this zooming in affect I’m experiencing when the frontend field are being clicked, on iphone: <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1”>
4. This would be perfect. thanks alot! I’ve just bought your plugin and happy to join your community & check if it can work for me.
Best regards & Waiting to hear from you, Koby.
Hello there,
Thank you for purchasing our plugin. Regarding demo, it is a bit strange because it is loading properly no matter how many times we load it. Can you please check once again and let us know if it is still not loading for you? And here are other replies.
1. We figured out a solution for this. In the end of this reply, we will provide you a code to solve this.
2. Our plugin also stores it using php strtotime so it should match. You will need to enable the option “Save as string” for the datepicker field. Please check the screenshot below for an easy reference.
https://prnt.sc/V9w8omoKGtNm3. If you think it will work then you can go to your theme’s header.php file and add that code inside the head section of header.php file.
4. We have figured out a solution for this too. For this and your request number 1, you will need to add custom JS code in your site. For adding custom JS code you can use the below plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/After installing the above plugin, please add the below code by adding a custom JS in the mentioned plugin.
jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){
setTimeout(function(){
jQuery('.fpsm-front-datepicker').attr('inputmode','none');
jQuery(".fpsm-front-datepicker" ).datepicker( "destroy" );
jQuery('.fpsm-front-datepicker').each(function () {
var date_format = $(this).data('date-format');
var date_value = $(this).data('date-value');
jQuery(this).datepicker({
dateFormat: date_format,
minDate: 0
});
if (date_value != '') {
var date_value_break = date_value.split('-');
var year = parseInt(date_value_break[0]);
var month = parseInt(date_value_break[1]) - 1;
var day = parseInt(date_value_break[2]);
jQuery(this).datepicker('setDate', new Date(year, month, day));
}
});
},3000);
});
Also please check the below screenshot for an easy reference.
https://prnt.sc/4e3DVDxHNysgAfter adding the above code, please check by clearing the browse cache and let us know if it works or not.

Great support WP Shuffle! Thank you! I’ll try this out and let you know if it works.
BTW, When trying to load your demo now, everything works as expected.
I’m now setting up my first frontend form and really like your work! before I’ll implement your fix I wanted to further consult with you regarding the datepicker, which is not showing up. Upon datepicker field click, it functions as a regular text field, without the calendar selection popup. I’d be happy to share any credentials you may need in order to help me solve this. Please let me know if we can continue our conversation in a more private channel.
Thank you, Koby.

Hello,
1) Using your frontend form, how to restrict users from uploading images?
2) My users can upload images through another form (ACF form). Is it possible to have the users select images already available from the media library using your frontend form?
Thanks in advance,
— GM
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Our plugin basically uses two methods to upload a file. One is using the default WP Media for featured image and another one is our own custom uploader for both featured image of post and for custom fields.
Can you please explain for which parameter you are trying to use the file uploader, for featured image or for custom fields?
Regards, WP Shuffle
Okay,
On my website, I already have an ACF addon form for my users that will force cropping/ratio during upload of their featured image into the media library.
So what I need with your frontend plugin is to allow users to submit a post where they can access + select the featured image they already have in their media library but without the possibility to upload an image through your plugin.
User will only have access to the images that belong to them in the media library (already uploaded in the media library using my other form).
That’s the workaround I’m trying to accomplish since your plugin doesn’t offer crop/ratio tool during image upload.
Thanks in advance,
— GM
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. Our plugin does have the functionality to choose the featured image from the media library provided by the WordPress itself. Have you checked that option? If not then please check the below screenshot on how to enable the WP Media library for Post Featured Image.
https://prnt.sc/kwQQANlYFoxyIf the uploader provided by ACF modifies the default WP Media library functionality then it might show up while using as mentioned in our plugin too because we are using the default WP Media library for this. But if ACF uses their own media library functionality then that might not show up in our plugin because one plugin cannot inherit another plugin’s functionality.
Regards, WP Shuffle
Hello,
The WordPress media library has 2 tabs (2 options):
Option 1. User select images that are already present in his media library.
Option 2. User upload images from his computer and save them into the media library.
Using your plugin, is it possible to provide the user access only to “option 1”?
—GM
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. Since we are using default WP Media for uploading the featured image so that is not much directly customizable and controllable from our plugin but some other plugin provides the functionality to disable the file uploading for specific user roles. Can you please check the below plugin if it fulfills your requirement?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-restriction/Regards, WP Shuffle
Okay thank you!
It is not possible to edit submitted/published with File Uploader. it can only REMOVE but not EDIT/ADD extra files. I think this is a bug.
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Yes users can add or remove the files while editing the post. We just confirmed by checking in our development server. Isn’t it working on your end? If not then please provide us the link where we can check the issue from the private contact form available in the link below.

Is it possible to count the image attached to the post? I’d like it to be seen on frontend post and display to the public
Example : User upload two images in post. I want the number ‘2’ to be displayed on front page on post
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. Currently showing number of uploaded files is not available but you can show the uploaded images in the post detail page.
Regards, WP Shuffle
There is a bug when editing published post. Cannot add an file(image) backend and frontend even admin.
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. We are a bit unclear regarding the issue you have explained. Can you please share us the screenshot of the file uploader that you have configured in our plugin? And if possible then please provide us the URL where we can check the issue.
If it requires any login credentials to check the URL then you can send the necessary details in the private contact form available in the link below.

I want to buy the pro version as some features I required are in Pro version, but before buying the pro version, I was thinking to test with Lite version. Everything works exactly how I want, but I didn’t receive Admin Notification after I test submit a post. I even check my span/junk box. Am I missing some setting?
Please check this screenshot – https://prnt.sc/i9L0Mfwf71Vn
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Are you receiving the email in the junk? If yes then for this you will need to enter “From Name” and “From Email” values which won’t resemble any real person’s name and email such as No reply and noreply@domain
If you are not receiving the email at all then please check if your server’s email server is working well. To confirm this, please register a new user in your WordPress user section and check “Send User Notification” and if you don’t receive the Notification email after adding the new user then you might need to contact to your hosting provider regarding the issue. Please check the screenshot below for an easy reference.
https://prnt.sc/0WMYq1nvJROjRegards, WP Shuffle
Yes, I didn’t get notification at all. It’s not in junk as well.
As you advised I register a new user and I got notification in my admin email (same email as the one I used in this plugin)
Please check the screenshot https://prnt.sc/fSCAaz531JcF https://prnt.sc/exeuK8di3_acHello there,
Thank you for the confirmation. Can you please check once by replacing the From Name and From Email as how we had explained in our previous comment and let us know the result afterwards?

I have Ultimate Member plugin, will it be because of this?
Our plugin uses default wp_mail function and sometimes other plugin override that function due to which it might not work. To assure this, can you please deactivate other plugins and check again and let us know?
Thanks.
Ok hi. I want to buy the plugin but i have a lot of questions and i didn’t get the answers from the plugin details. Hopefully i can get the answer here as early as possible. 1. I want to make sure users can post from front end. do they need to login to do that or i can put both options like login and guests posts? if they log in then will they see a profile page of them where they can see their posts ? 2. is there any option to check posts by admin or user posts will be automatically published? If there is a way where admin can check every posts before publishing then in future if admin wants to make some user posts publish directly, is it possible. 3. If my user posts an article, will it directly show as recent posts on my website? 4. Will the name of the user appear with their posts. I mean if someone read the post can they find out who wrote the post and can see their profile or Instagram or fb? I know these are lot of questions but i hope i will get all answers. thank you
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Here are your replies.
1. Yes you can create both login require and guest post form for which users can submit the post without needing to login.
2. You can enable the post publish button in the form by clicking which users can publish the post instantly.
3. Yes the post will show in the recent posts if published because the post submitted from our plugin is not different than the post that is added in wp-admin
4. If the submitted post is from the login require form then the user who is logged in will be the author of that post but for the guest post, the author assigned by the admin in the form’s basic settings will be the author of the post.

Hello,
Pre-sale Questions: Is there a way to force uploaded images to 21:9 ratio on upload?
I would like to have something like https://plugins-pro.com/downloads/slimimagecropperforgravityforms/
Thanks in advance,

Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Our plugin doesn’t have the feature to check the aspect ratio of the uploaded image currently.

Would you be able to do it as a custom project? How much would you charge for that?
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. We just checked with the file uploader that we are using and it seems it doesn’t support the custom cropping.

Hello, great plugin, I want to know how can I enter a date with a time (10/03/2022 10h000) because I want to have a form for Time spending on a project. Thanks
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately we don’t have the field to incorporate both date and time in same field currently. We will try to come up with field to receive both date and time in our future updates.
But we do have the date field. So may be you can add another date field and then another text field to receive the time. That is just our suggestion btw.
Regards, WP Shuffle

Hi! i have two problems
I set the Default Post Status option to “Pending Review”, but still, the posts sent with the forms come as “draft”.
I added a field using File Uploader to add images to the form, multiple images are being added. But the pictures are not deleted when editing.
There is one thing I want to do. When you want to edit the published post, when it is set to draf to check the post, the post is unpublished. This is not very useful. I use the “Revision Manager TMC” plugin for this. The author is saving as revision instead of editing. so that the live post is not unpublished. When the administrator approves the revision, it replaces the original article. Is it possible to make your plugin save it as a revision of this plugin instead of editing the article?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Here are your replies:
1. I set the Default Post Status option to “Pending Review”, but still, the posts sent with the forms come as “draft”. >> That is probably happening because our plugin provides the Post Status specific submit buttons. Can you please check which post status submit button is enabled in the form settings? The post status is set as per the button selected there. If none chosen then only the post status is chosen from the post status dropdown selected in the basic settings. Please check the screenshot below for an easy reference.
https://prnt.sc/VMHqBdH7eT5k2. I added a field using File Uploader to add images to the form, multiple images are being added. But the pictures are not deleted when editing.
>> For edit the delete of media is not done intentionally because user may delete the image but still won’t save the post and without post saving, there will be error while displaying the image because it has been already deleted. But we will think of some solution to delete it after the post submission in our very next update.
3. There is one thing I want to do. When you want to edit the published post, when it is set to draf to check the post, the post is unpublished. This is not very useful. I use the “Revision Manager TMC” plugin for this. The author is saving as revision instead of editing. so that the live post is not unpublished. When the administrator approves the revision, it replaces the original article. Is it possible to make your plugin save it as a revision of this plugin instead of editing the article?
>>The post editing functionality has been built manually in our plugin by referencing default WP post edit procedure and since the revisions are being managed by another plugin so our plugin cannot mimic the process defined by other plugins for post edit.

Is there a way to convert guest forms to login-required forms?
I have several that need to be converted.
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately that is not possible through backend UI because there are many settings within the form that needs to be updated as per the form type. But you can change it directly in the table where our forms are stored.
Please login to your site’s database UI of your site and find the table with suffix as fpsm_forms and change the form_type column value to login_require instead of guest.

Hey why i have problem i dont have in Post Type: Product and Events. What to do now? cheers!
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Our plugin itself doesn’t have the product or events post types registered but if your site already have the products or events or any other post types already registered then our plugin can be used to submit those post types from the frontend.

Thanks! Question….Is there a post submission limit feature for Guest submissions?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Since guest post submission doesn’t require login to submit the post so technically we won’t have any reference of how many submission has been done. So currently we only have the post submission limit for the login require form.

Do your plugin support repeater field, I means one or more field group added multiple times with plus button ? And can we use any third party custom field in frontend post submission form ?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Currently our plugin doesn’t have the repeater field.
And third party custom fields can be integrated by matching the custom fields meta_key while adding the custom fields in our form. If the custom fields value are saved in simple format then there won’t be any problem but if thirdy party plugins are saving the custom fields in complex format then direct integration may not work.

Hi, I wonder if it’s possible to assign a random (or choose from a list of) user to the created post. Like in the plugin description you’re saying that you can select X user for a anonymous post. What I’d like to achieve is to assign a random user to a submitted post. When posting articles, I want to rotate those articles through 5 different authors. Is this somehow possible or could this be integrated?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. That is a bit custom feature so is not available but with use of the hooks(actions/filters) available in our plugin will surely be achievable. But for this you will surely need some developer knowledge 
Regards, WP Shuffle
hello, im interested, but i dont see a date time field where users can choose the day, month, year and time in the same field, do you have plans on adding this? any eta?

Pres ale: If users are logged in, can they see the media library, ie other files from other users?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Admin can enable or disable the media button in the post content editor through which the users shall be able to view the media library from other users too. That is the by default nature of the media library provided by WP itself.
But you can surely prevent the media library to be accessed by specific users using some other plugins too if you need it.
