Hi author,

I want to buy this plugin but I want to confirm two things before I buy the plugin. If the plugin can be set to support it, I will buy it ASAP. The question are below.

1. Can the plugin be set to generate thumbnail from uploading video, when uploading the video from the frontend to the video format area?

2. My theme have channel and playlist taxonomies, so can the plugin be set to be showing the channel and playlist created by user in the frontend when the user want to upload video from the frontend?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards.

Hi Muhammy,

“Can the plugin be set to generate thumbnail from uploading video, when uploading the video from the frontend to the video format area”

If you have another plugin that does this kind of thing for backend posts then it should work with the frontend posts as well.

Yes your custom taxonomies will be shown in the frontend form.

Thanks!

In as much you’ve promised me that the plugin will show up custom taxonomies channel and playlist at the frontend upload area. I’ll order for the plugin. But please can you do auto generate thumbnail from uploaded video at the frontend for me as custom task? And I’ll pay for it. And if you can’t, can you please recommend the plugin that I’ll support it for me?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Best regards.

Failed to load source map using developer tools: Failed to load content for /plugins/frontend-publishing-pro/assets/css/custom-fields.css.map: HTTP error. Status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE…

Hey there, source maps are a developer tool, and a missing one shouldn’t be a cause for any concern. Thanks

I noticed you haven’t replied in a while, is this still maintained ?

Does this support creating woocommerce products? Or is it just posts?

Also is there a list of all the meta fields available?

Yeah it supports WooCommerce products. About meta fields, the plugins allows you to create custom fields for any meta key you like.

Hi can I set this so pending posts show for a set role in WP like reviewer, and they can see all pending posts?

For now a user only sees the posts which they themselves authored.

Dear team, is it possible to submit posts as password protected status and choose the password while submitting the post?

We don’t have a password field yet, unfortunately.

Hi, how do I show “editorial comments” from publish press in the front-end edit form?

Hello, how does one limit/restrict posting to a specific category?

You could exclude that specific category from the category selector.

Hi. Another presale question:

It is possible to add a title, like a separator element?

Dont know what kind of elements do you allow in the forms, maybe only inputs and form items …

Thanks in advance

Hello! Looks very good and promising. Simple as need. But I got a presale question:

It is possible to “group” inputs, as example:

1.- Personal data (fieldset, div with an ID, etc) Name, email, age

2.- Comercial data (another fieldset or div with an ID, etc) Address, url, manager name

3.- Car information (another fieldset or div with an ID, etc) Brand, Model, year

and so …

I have checked some examples and here in comments but I haven found an answer.

It is possible? (I hope so!)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

- is woocommerce product gallery support to upload in fronend?

- After users submit a product, is there a list of productscreated by users in a separated tab in woocommerce myaccount page?

Hi, thanks for considering this plugin for your project.

- is woocommerce product gallery support to upload in fronend?

Yes it is supported. However you need to know the correct meta key and value format to make it work.

> in a separated tab in woocommerce myaccount page

No we don’t add anything to the woocommerce myaccount page. Instead we have our own interface where the user can view and edit their products.

Hi there,

there are a lot of themes with dark mode styles out there. Any chance, you can style following elements to match dark modes:

Frontend Rich Text Editor The Rich text editor in dark? (tried on my own but I am totally lost here)

For the dropdowns, maybe you can have some options for this code:

.select2-container {
    background: #212121;
}
.select2-search__field {
    border: 1px solid #ffa31a!importamt;
}
.select2-search--dropdown {
    background: #212121!important;
}
.select2-results {
    background: #212121!important;
}
.select2-results__option--highlighted {
    background: #ffa31a!important;
    color: #212121!important;
}
.select2-results__option[aria-selected=true]  {
    background: #ffa31a!important;
    color: #212121!important;
    font-weight: bold;
}
.select2-selection__choice {
    background-color: #ffa31a!important;
    color: #212121!important;
    font-weight: bold!important;
    border: 1px solid #000!important;
}
.select2-selection__choice__remove {
    color: #212121!important;
}
#ffa31a is my main theme color

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. The WordPress editor that we use in the frontend form is hard to customize otherwise we would have introduced a dark mode ages ago. For now, the only way to make the form look decent on a dark theme is to add a white container around it or customize individual elements through CSS. The first option is the quickest one.

After upgrading to Pro, my original form was removed and I can not create a new form. The error message is wp_frontend_post_forms is missing from the database. How do I fix this issue?

Hi, thanks for using the plugin.

From what you are explaining it seems the database table for the forms got deleted somehow. I can’t see how that could have happened really unless someone did some manual changes to the DB.

In any case you should be able to fix the issue by deleting the plugin along with data and then installing it again.

To delete the plugin data on uninstall, check the “Delete All Data on Uninstallation” setting in Setting > Data tab /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpfepp_settings&tab=data

I have a lot of post submissions. Will this delete all of my posts?

Hello Dear Khaxan,

I’m setting up your great plugin and was wondering if I can be assisted by you to set it correctly. I also wanted to report an issue i’m experiencing and was wondering if you’d be able to help me solve it. (BTW, the documentation file in the plugins’ zip isn’t working and I couldn’t find online documentation).

1. Setting up a datepicker:

1.1. In my form I want to have a datepicker field. my dates are saved in unix format (uses PHP strtotime() Function) so I’d like the form to convert the readable date & time format to unix (for example, user input such as 2022-04-30 03:50 would convert to the value ‘1651279800’ to be saved on DB).

1.2. Is there a fallback value for current time date picker? I want to let my user set a starting & ending date, while starting date is when the post is submitted. Or maybe I should use the post date? I cannot seem to find it in meta key search though.

1.3. Is there a way to have 1 value saved in 2 fields without the user having to input it twice?

2. Issue I’m experiencing with image upload from an iPhone:

2.1. File upload field – when selecting camera the camera displays a black screen with no ability to take a photo.

2.2. On woocommerce product gallery upload field – you cannot multiselect photos on iphone.

2.3. on iphone there is an ability to reduce image size. when I use it the image is saved 90 degrees rotated to the left.

3. An issue i’m experiencing since installing the plugin which I believe is related to my hosting company caching (kinsta). I think it’s related to the caching because I do not experience it on staged environment, which is not cached:

After a post submission the post doesn’t load for a minute and url displays an HTTP ERROR 500. after a minute or 2 the page loads fine. this also happens on regular backend post publishing as of installing the plugin. do you have an idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance, Koby.

Thanks for choosing this plugin for your project.

1.1 The date time form field contains a “DateTime Format” setting. Please try adding “U” (capital case, without the quotes) for this setting.

1.2 If you’d like the user to add starting and ending dates then you will have to create two date fields. You can set these fields as required if always want them to be filled out but you can’t assign the post date by default. That would require custom code.

2.1. Can you tell me which Element type you are referring to? “Media Id”, “Media URL” or “Media File”? If it opens a media library modal, could you please try the same thing in the backend and see what’s the behavior there?

2.2. and 2.3. Again, could you please try these in the backend and see what’s the behavior there?

3. This one is a toughie, I’m afraid you’ll have to follow these steps:

- Check the logs or set WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php. If there is indeed a 500 error occurring on the site then it must be in the logs or it will be displayed on the page when you set WP_DEBUG to true.

- Get in touch with your hosting company and ask them why there’s a difference in staging vs live.

- Do a plugin conflict test as the last resort.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hey Great Plugin. Woocommerce Customers cant upload any image. Can I change that in settings?

Hi there, are you getting an error during the image upload? Please explain the behavior in as much detail as possible so I can take a guess at what’s going on. Thanks!

Hello,

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/

Thank in advance,

Hi there, right now we don’t have such a feature. Right now the only way to do this is to let the user into the admin area to edit the image and then come back.

Hello there, I have checked your plugin and I have some questions.

My first question was already asked in the previous comment by @rezak2018

/* Can front end writers make their profile so that readers can check who is posting? Can writers add their social media links, i mean will there be social media link options that writer can put on the end of the post? /

You replied

/ We don’t offer a form for adding profile data but the users can change their information on the backend “edit profile” page. Also, they can’t add social media links because the backend “edit profile” page doesn’t have any social media fields. */

Following your reply:

1 – Will you add this feature in the future (a custom front-end edit profile page)? also I wan to add that Wordpress 5.9 edit page does support social media links there are several fields.

2 – Does the plugin supports google ReCpatcha V3?

3 – You are using jQuery and that doesn’t work very well with my hosted website working with CDN, are you willing to ditch jQuery in future updates?

Hi, thanks for your questions.

1. We do have plans to include this feature eventually but we can’t provide an estimate on when we will be able to do it.

2. No ATM the plugin is on v2 of recaptcha

3. jQuery is used extensively in plugins and even in WP itself. I can’t guarantee that we will be able to ditch it soon.

Hope that answers your questions.

Cheers, Hassan

Hi. I have some questions. 1. Can front end writers make their profile so that readers can check who is posting? Can writers add their social media links, i mean will there be social media link options that writer can put on the end of the post? 2. I saw the demo post form, can i chose the fields as admin or these are fixed? i mean if i want to add other fields and remove some fields, is it possible? 3. When user post from front end , do they need to log in? If they log in, can they see admin area also? 4. Where the user submitted posts will show? I mean if i have a blog section, the post will show only on blog section right? will it show with the name of the user or without any name? Thanks.

Hi Rezak, thanks for considering our plugin for your project.

1. We don’t offer a form for adding profile data but the users can change their information on the backend “edit profile” page. Also, they can’t add social media links because the backend “edit profile” page doesn’t have any social media fields.

2. Yes you can decide which fields appear in the form.

3. That’s optional. They can submit without logging in but in this mode there are some limitations. See: https://wpfrontendpublishing.com/how-to-enable-anonymous-posting/

4. The posts will appear in a login protected “Post List” page. You can see this page in our demo.

hello, is this plugin still maintained? thanks in advance

Hi there, yes the plugin is maintained and it is translatable! For the pagination you can see the demo here: https://wpfrontendpublishing.com/post-list/

One more thing. As I haven’t seen your code, do u think it would be easy to develop a search field in the post list? In my case some users have hundreds of posts and it would be nice to have a search field.

Hi, we don’t take customization jobs. However it shouldn’t be hard if you have some dev experience.

Quick question, ready to buy: Does it function properly with custom post types and acf? Does it create a classic block or can it create a gutenberg block when you publish the post? Can you limit what the logged in user sees, i.e. only one page where they add a post and that is all they see? Looking forward to moving forward. Thanks

Hi there, thanks for considering our plugin for your project. Yes it functions properly with custom post types and simple fields created through ACF. It creates a classic block when you publish. If you are talking about blocking access to certain pages then this functionality is not included. But you can make sure the user only sees their own posts in the list and only their own media items in the library. Thanks

Why is there no button to add images for guests in the form, although the appropriate settings are selected? Please help!

Hi Vozhak, could you please contact us using the support form and include you license key? Thanks
