Hello! Thank you for a great plugin. I thought the function of “Date Picker” were to determine when post should be published? Is it possible to add a scheduling functionality for frontend submits? With date + HH:MM

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. The Datepicker field and other field types are for receiving custom fields for that specific post. But we can provide you a solution to assign the received date as the future publish date for the post.

Please add below code in your theme’s functions.php file.

add_action('fpsm_form_submission_success', 'fpsm_schedule_post', 10, 3);

function fpsm_schedule_post($insert_update_post_id, $form_row, $action) {
  if ($form_row->form_alias == 'your_form_alias_here') {
    $schedule_date = get_post_meta($insert_update_post_id, 'scheduled_date', true);
    $scheduled_time = $schedule_date . ' 00:00';
    $post_data = array(
      'ID'            => $insert_update_post_id,
      'post_date'     => $scheduled_time,
      'post_date_gmt' => get_gmt_from_date($scheduled_time),
      'post_title' => get_the_title($insert_update_post_id),
      'post_content' => get_the_content($insert_update_post_id),
      'post_status'   => 'future'
    );
    wp_insert_post($post_data);
  }
}

Please replace your_form_alias_here with the alias of the form for which you want this logic to be implemented. And please add a datepicker field in your form with meta key scheduled_date. Then the value received from that field will act as the publish date for the submitted post.

Since our plugin only has the datepicker field but not the time field so we have added 00:00 in the code directly. If you want to change the time then please modify it accordingly in the provided code.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues or have any confusion regarding the provided solution.

Thank you for a fast response! I’ll try this, cheers

I am using Careerfy theme (https://themeforest.net/item/careerfy-job-board-wordpress-theme/21137053) which doesn’t allow Candidate profile to allow job posting. Will this plugin help with creating a job submit form with existing custom post type and taxonomies for Candidates to be able to submit jobs.

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Are candidate profile refer to normal WordPress users and if Jobs are custom post types then our plugin can be used submit the jobs from the frontend with or without logging in.

Thanks.

Hi there

Curious to know:

1. Can I have the form in custom colors? I see all the form templates are white or blue yet no dark mode/black template. My website is in black and grey scale so I would want to have this match with each other.

2. Want to embed a donate/payment option in the form using mollie payment through woocommerce. Is this possible?

All the best.

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Here are your replies:

1. Our plugin has the inbuilt form styles customizer using which you can choose any template and modify the font color, background colors and many other parameters. Please refer to the below screenshot.

https://prnt.sc/8yJPWC17PMBV

2. Unfortunately this is not possible.

Hi wpshuffle,

Thank you for your fast response.

I bought the item and need support. I send you a message.

Have a great day!

Hi! I’m interested in your plugin, but i have some question.

1. Is possible add checkbox where will be show (14 days, 30 days), it’s will be mean “Post expiration date” Basically user choose post expiration date for post. 2. Can add checkbox where user can select post to “Featured” ? 3. I know you don’t have feature “pay per post” but do you offer programming service to implement that ?

Thank you !

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us.

1. Unfortunately our plugin cannot do this because WordPress by default doesn’t have the post expiration feature.

2. Can you please explain what “Featured” stands for since this is also not available by default in the WordPress.

3. Yes we do provide paid customization service. Please let us know the details of the pay per post feature and which payment gateway we need to implement.

Thanks.

It doesn’t look like your demo uses the latest version as I don’t see the WYSIWYG editor. Can html and shortcodes be used in that field?

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Yes that is yet need to be updated in the demo but thank you for the heads up. We will update it soon.

Regarding HTML, yes it supports, but regarding shortcodes, that is not supported yet but we will make it support the shortcode in our next update.

Hello, is the plugin can’t manage the upload file? in the front, it can upload files but the backend only removes and downloads.

Thank you.

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Currently the custom file uploader is not available in the backend but we have already added this option and we will release an update with that feature along with few more other features most probably starting of next week. So please stay tuned :)

Thanks

Hello there,

Just to inform you, we have already released our update and the file uploader field should work in backend as well.

Thanks

Hello, great plugin! Could you please tell me, I don’t have the Post Views Label column in my dashboards, but you have it in the demo version, how do I add it? And there is no Enable Post Views switch either

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. To enable this, please install the below plugin.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-views-counter/

Thanks.

Do you support RTL? I have section and there are two way to post, one by a section supervisor of a section or post category and these post publish without need to approve. and if a regular or visitor would like to post this go to the pending status to be approved by the category supervisor. Is this scenario doable by the plugin? Finally, do you support maps to be added in the form like the map for the event or for the post. Thanks

Hello there,

Thank you for your reply. After purchasing our plugin, please add below code in your active theme’s functions.php file which will then auto publish the post for the user with administrator user role.

add_filter('fpsm_insert_postdata', 'fpsm_publish_for_admin', 10, 3);
function fpsm_publish_for_admin($postarr, $form_data, $form_row) {
    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        if (in_array('administrator', $user->roles)) {
            $postarr['post_status'] = 'publish';
        }

    }
    return $postarr;
}

Regarding map fields, will you please explain how you are trying to use it and what parameters should our form receive to load the map? If it make sense then may be we might add in our near future update.

Thanks.

Thanks, regarding the map, for some posts, I want to add an address (which is the parameter) and then the address shown in the post so visitors can navigate to the event or the place..etc.

Hello there,

Thank you for the explanation. Generating the map with just the address will be a bit insufficient. We might add a field where users can enter the URL from the google map itself and then we can display them as a google map iframe in the post detail.

Thanks.

Hi, I have a couple of issues with uplaoding images to posts. When a contributor role tries to add a featured image, it comes up with the error ‘you are not allowed to attach images to this post’.

Also, I have enabled the media button on the post editor, however contributors can see all of the images in the media library – I only want them to be able to see their own images.

Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. By default WordPress itself doesn’t restrict the media library items to specific user. But it can be achieved using some custom codes. Please add below code in your active theme’s functions.php file.


add_filter(
    'ajax_query_attachments_args',
    'wpb_show_current_user_attachments'
);

function wpb_show_current_user_attachments($query) {
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    if (
        $user_id &&
        !current_user_can('activate_plugins') &&
        !current_user_can('edit_others_posts')
    ) {
        $query['author'] = $user_id;
    }
    return $query;
}

Regarding the media items not being attached to the post, that is also because of the security restrictions set by WordPress for not allowing the contributor user roles to attach/upload files from the frontend. Please add below code as well in your active theme’s functions.php file to solve this.

function enable_file_uploads_by_role() {
    $role = 'contributor';
    if (!current_user_can($role) || current_user_can('upload_files'))
        return;
    $contributor = get_role($role);
    $contributor->add_cap('read');
    $contributor->add_cap('publish_posts');
    $contributor->add_cap('upload_files');
    $contributor->add_cap('edit_post', true);
}
add_action('admin_init', 'enable_file_uploads_by_role');

add_filter('fpsm_wp_editor_post_content','fpsm_enqueue_media',10,1);
function fpsm_enqueue_media($post_content){
    wp_enqueue_media();
    return $post_content;
}

Please let us know if the provided code doesn’t work.

Thanks

Ah – fantastic! That works perfectly. Thank you so much :)

Good morning. Is it possible for any posts created or edited by a user with Admin role to publish automatically? (I have the default status set as pending review as posts created by anyone else need to be approved before going live). Thanks!

Hello. Following up on my previous question, is it possible on the forms to show different submit buttons based on role?

I need ‘save draft’ for everyone, ‘submit for approval’ for contributors, and ‘publish post’ for admins only.

The code snippet you kindly provided before works well to automatically post for admins, but it also makes them live them when an admin clicks on ‘save draft’. Our admins need to be able to save drafts as well as posting immediately.

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks

Hello there,

Thank you for you reply and sorry for some delay because we were trying to figure out if any solution is possible to achieve this? But unfortunately this is not possible without modifying the plugin files at the current state. But we will try to come up with the option to show hide the submit buttons based on user roles in our very next update.

Thanks.

Thank you for letting me know :)

I like your plugin but I have concern that I am using recent article carousel on my site and I have cheked that when user submit a smaller size featured image smth 260194 it look really small comapred to other featured images having dimension 650450 so is there any way to force user to upload a image of atleast dimension 650450 or bigger not smaller than 650450

mis – 260×194, 650×450 dimensions

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately we don’t have the option to check the image dimensions for our file uploader but our plugin does have the size limit so may be you can increase the size limit to a bit more which will then require the user to upload a bit higher size file. That is just our suggestion though.

Hi, great plugin – needed an alternative to another frontend publishing plugin which is no longer supported and starting to throw php errors.

I have a question – I’m creating a dashboard where authors can view all of their posts in one place. However, there are multiple categories for the posts as they are displayed in different areas of the site. Is there a way to add a category column to the dashboard, so if i set it to view all posts they can see everything they’ve posted but be able to see which categories the posts are assigned to?

I hope this is possible – it would help a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Adding an extra column is currently not possible but we can provide you a workaround to display the category just after the post title. Please add the below code in your active theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter('the_title', 'fpsm_title_hook', 10, 2);

function fpsm_title_hook($title, $id) {
    if (is_page('frontend-dashboard')) {
        $categories = get_the_category($id);

        if (!empty($categories)) {
            $title .= '<span class="post-category-display" style="display:inline-block;margin-left:20px;">' . esc_html($categories[0]->name) . '</span>';
        }
    }
    return $title;
}

Please replace frontend-dashboard with the slug of the page where you are displaying our frontend dashboard.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues or the provided code doesn’t work properly.

Thanks.

Ah – that’s perfect. Thank you so much for your quick reply and solution!

Thinking about buying the plugin, but I was disappointed with another identical one. I see that the last update was in a pack. Is there a forecast for any updates?

Tks

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. We are planning to release an update soon. Please let us know if you have queries regarding the features.

Thanks

My problem is not with the quality of the product! My problem is that I had a plugin identical to this one and it stopped updating!

Could you tell me if the plugin works normally in the Soledad theme?

Hello there,

Thank you for your reply. Our plugin should work with any standard WordPress theme.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a pre-purchase question:

1) Can the post author only be allowed to edit/update their own posts or is it available to anyone? I looked at your live Backend Demo and I’m able to delete/update some posts.

2) Is it possible to format how it gets displayed?

3) What is your refund policy if I decide to give the Pro version a try and see if it fits my needs?

Thank you.

Hi,

I appreciate the quick reply.

2. What I mean by that is, am I able to use maybe some sort of code to display any of the fields anywhere I want on the website? Some plugins allow shortcodes or <php echo> codes to display the content anywhere on the website.

For example, I want to create a custom single post template with 3 columns.

Column 1 will contain: Post Image Column 2 will contain: Post Title Column 3 will contain: Categories

Hello there,

Thank you for the clarification. Our plugin is capable of submitting the posts from frontend with or without login but our plugin doesn’t have any capabilities to customize the post layout in the frontend which basically is performed by the theme.

And the post submitted from our plugin won’t be any different from the the post that you will create in the backend so the posts created from our plugin will have the same layout like how the posts added from the backend will display.

Thanks

Hi,

I will talk with my team about this.

Hello, when I want to place a custom field with textfield or textarea it does not allow me to select in editor type: rich text editor, visual text editor or html text editor, only in field Post Content.

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately the rich text editor is not available in the custom fields.

Thanks.

Hello there, The visual text editor for post content is working well when the form doesn’t require login but converted to a simple text area (on the front end) when the form requires login.

I have disabled all plugins to check if there is any conflict but the problem consists. How can I solve the issue?

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Can you please check if you have chosen the text editor type as Visual Editor or Rich Text Editor in the post content field settings as shown in the screenshot below?

https://prnt.sc/ppuaipRb22w3

Thanks

I bought this one. but still didn’t get answer for my question yet.

Hello there

Thank you for writing to us. We checked your last email and it seems we had already replied you 8 days ago. Haven’t you receive it? Please check and let us know.

Thanks

My bad, could you check the email again, I sent you another one to you. same email address. thanks.

PRE-SALES QUESTION: I don’t want the submitter to upload any images with their post content submission. However, I’d like for them to have an option to submit a FEATURED IMAGE URL, wherein they can submit an external link for the image (instead of uploading images for the Featured Image). I don’t want any uploads from others to my server. Is this currently possible with this plugin script?

Pretty much, my layout will be Post Title Featured Image Post Content And other extra form data

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately that is not possible currently.

Regards, WP Shuffle

I really need a plugin like this, but I’m so traumatized by the creators. I bought AccessPress Anonymous Post Pro – Front End Publishing WordPress Plugin and it stopped updating and shut down services. There is no money back guarantee. I will risk and buy your plugin!

Is there a possibility of a subtitle field?

Hello there,

Thank you for writing to us. Since WP doesn’t have the subtitle field by default so our plugin has all the fields that are provided by WP by default and for the additional fields, we do have the option to add the custom fields which you can use to add the subtitle field.

Regards, WP Shuffle

Thank you for your reply. Could you let me know if it works in all themes, such as JNews or Soledad?

Hello there,

Our plugin is a theme independent plugin and should work with all standard WordPress themes. If there are any conflicts specially with the styles then please let us know and we will try to get them fixed by providing some custom CSS.

Thanks.
