Hi, If I have Textarea field and set it up for Simple Textarea as editor type I would expect, that content is sanitized/escaped.
However HTML tags render normally, links as href … and even gutenberg block can be made from it. In this case, content for a post escapes the classic block where normally content from the form stays. For example; This written in the field will create new paragraph block:
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>hello</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
This applies even for a subscriber role. I asume it is still allowed to use some HTML in editor in WP. That would be probably okay for rich, visual or HTML editor type, not SimpleTextarea.
I fixed it with some hacky snippet, which sanitizes input for subscriber role before it is saved into database. However it does not play with Frontend Post Submission manager, but directly with Wordpress, which is probably not ideal.
It would be nice if SimpleTextarea editor type have at least option to not allow any tags. At least some sane snippet for this would be appreciated.
I probably send you previously request over the support form, or whatever it is, few days ago, as I did not find a way how to post a comment. No idea if that arrived. Intention was to post a comment.
I tried most of similar plugins and I have to say, this one is pretty light and sane compared to all of them. Most of them can’t really manage images well, don’t delete them, don’t attach them and so on. Also most of other plugins include lot of junk.
So I have to praise your work on this piece. Well balanced plugin. I assume most people will just miss registration form.
Wish you the best
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. You can override the sanitize rule for individual field adding the below block of code in your active theme’s functions.php file
add_filter('fpsm_front_sanitize_rule', 'fpsm_textarea_sanitize', 10, 2);
function fpsm_textarea_sanitize($sanitize_rule_array, $form_row) {
$sanitize_rule_array['_custom_field|your_meta_key_here'] = 'text';
}
Please replace your_meta_key_here in the provided code with the actual meta key of the textarea that you have added in our form.
Please let us know if you encounter any issues while integrating the code.
And thank you very much for appreciating our product. We would be really happy if you will leave us a review from the link below.

Hey! When update? WordPress 6.9.x,
Hello there,
Our plugin is compatible with WordPress version 6.9.
Thanks
does the plugin support many websites. I mean One can target any website when creating a form. And whether I can host the form in another website through iframe
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. With iframe you can definitely use the plugin in multiple sites but if you wish to use the separate installation in individual sites then you will need to purchase the multiple license.
Thanks
Hello
I see in comments 3, 4, 5 years ago there was a discussion about repeater fields and mapping with ACF.
Was this implemented in recent plugin version? Does it have a repeater field now? Can it be mapped to ACF Repeater fields?
Thank you
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately that is not added yet since it requires a bit of major revamp with all the fields structure but we will consider working on this as a priority for another major update.
Thanks.
@wpshuffle I was looking for a frontend post submission plugin and the search on the net lead me to your website. But when I was looking at the details of your plugin Frontend Submission Manager Pro, I got a shock. How on earth this plugin has been updated in the future, which is 26th May, 2026???!!! Have you, assuming you are the sole developer, by any chance have stumbled upon a TIME MACHINE or have you invented a TIME MACHINE?! 
I tried to send you this message using the contact form in your site, but that didn’t work. That’s why I have to inform you here. Please don’t take it otherwise. You can delete this message if you wish. I have no problem on that as it is not a pre-sales or support related question. 
Regards.
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us and thank you very much for informing us regarding this. We have corrected the last updated date which is 22nd September 2025.
Regards WP Shuffle
Prepurchase question:
Please confirm that Frontend Post Submission Manager Pro can be used the following way:
1. A post is created and set up to save as Draft or Pending Review (not published immediately).
2. The site admin automatically receives an email notification that includes a direct link to the draft.
3. From that link (or another link in the notification email), the admin can simply click “Publish” to make the post live (without having to be logged in as an admin).
The goal is to set the workflow up so that anyone receiving the email with the notification of the draft post can check it in one link and allow it/make it live with another click ((without having to log in as a WordPress admin first.)
Thanks in advance!
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. The point number 1 and 2 are possible and point number 3 is not possible.

Do you have plans to support Cloudflare turnstile. Google Captcha is moving to paid service.
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. We will check and try to implement in our future updates.
Thanks
i used free plugin as i post it is showing author is admin. not the user who posted it. it is a piad solution or available in free
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Are you using the guest post form or the login require form? If you are using the guest post form then the post submitter would be the author that has been configured in the general settings and if you are using the login require form then the author shall be the person who has submitted the form.
Please let us know which form you are using.
Thanks
Hello can this plugin integrate with Buddypress to display a post option on user profile. It will good to have if it integrate with Buddypress and you will get more sale too for this plugin.
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Currently we don’t have any direct integration with the Buddypress but if we can understand the requirement then we might release an update with the feature that you have explained.
Can you please elaborate your query a bit more clearly?
Regards, WP Shuffle
A website that are using Buddypress plugin. As a members or a sub·scriber login to the website and wanted to submit a form for an article or a blog post or any kind of form an the frontend after login the website.
If the person login as a username (example: Mike) when Mike submit a form or a blog post using your plugin (Frontend Post Submission Manager) and he fill up the form or a blog post as an Author name at the form as “Mike” and he submit the form.
The problem is when Mike submit the form as he login using his Username “Mike” as an author of the form or blog post that he submit the form as “Mike”
When the form or a blog post been submitted from the frontend, the article “author” is not longer belong to “Mike” it become to the “administrator”
If your plugin can integrate with Buddypress plugin. I will be good.
I hope you get what I mean it not integrate with Buddypress plugin.
Hello there,
Thank you for the explanation. It seems the problem is not related to buddypress but with the user privilege. But our plugin should assign the submitted user as the author of the post no matter what user level the user has.
To debug further regarding the issue, can you please record the video of the mechanism that you have just explained and send to us? You can email us privately from the contact form available in the link below.
https://codecanyon.net/user/wpshuffle#contactThanks.
does the plugin allow to publish the forms in other websites like by an iframe code
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. We are a bit unclear regarding your query. Can you please explain a bit more clearly?
And in regarding what our plugin can do, our plugin can be used to submit the post and custom post types with the website but our plugin in other websites.
Thanks
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Our plugin can be used to submit any post or a custom post type and if the event plugin manages event through custom post type then our plugin can be used to submit the events from our plugin.
Thanks.
Thanks for the reply. Another question. I see there is a user dashboard is there a user directory feature as well?
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. Yes our plugin does have the user frontend dashboard where user can login and manage their submitted posts. We are a bit unclear regarding the user directory. Can you please elaborate a bit more regarding user directory?
Thanks.
Hi, pre-sales question. Does Discussion on Frontend Post Submission Manager have an API? Can a form be submitted through an API Post through another system?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately that is not possible currently.
Thanks
demo login not working
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Did you try below login details?
username: demo password: demo
Thanks
Hi, presale question. Is it possible to set a limit per month, per user, for posts. For example, Users have a limit of 4 posts per month. When user 1 reaches their limit, they can not post anymore, but user 2 has not reached 4 posts, so they can keep posting, until they reach 4 posts? Also if that is possible, is it easy to clear the number at the start of the month, so again the users are all allowed 4 posts, or do I have to make a new form. Thanks
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Yes that is already available in our plugin. Please check the screenshot below for an easy reference.
https://prnt.sc/dh_f_nLz3YjtThanks
can I submit a video embed code from any host in a post?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Yes you should be able to input any embed code in the post content field of our form which WordPress supports by default such as youtube.
Regards, WP Shuffle
I tried the lite version but the embed code (Iframe) was not being submitted from either ‘Texfield’ or ‘Textarea’ Example of the embed I submitted: <iframe src=”https://domain.net/e/b4ZJx2roTYRx2o3” width=”800” height=”600” frameborder=”0” marginwidth=”0” marginheight=”0” scrolling=”no” allowfullscreen=”true”></iframe>
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. In the free version, textarea doesn’t support the HTML but in the PRO version textarea supports the HTML as well and since iframe is the HTML code so you can use the textarea field to receive the iframe from the frontend form.
And by default Iframe will be stripped by the WordPress while saving in the database because of security but you can enable it by adding a block of code which we can provide you after you purchase the plugin.
Thanks
Hello, I have a question before purchasing. Is it possible to make it so that only the user who created the post can see it? (View and edit it privately in the dashboard) I want to use it so that the user can save something privately and only they can see it.
Note: Your frontend dashboard demo doesn’t work; the login details are incorrect.
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. Yes our plugin has the frontend dashboard feature through which users can login and manage their posts.
The credentials for our frontend dashboard is as below.
Username: demo Password: demo
https://demo.wpshuffle.com/frontend-post-submission-manager/frontend-dashboard/We just verified and it is working. Please let us know if you are able to login or not with provided credentials
Thanks
The demo works, thanks. But back to my question: Can the posts created by users be set so that “only the user” can see their posts in the dashboard? For our purposes, these posts cannot be publicly visible. And is there a shortcode to embed it in the frontend dashboard? Thanks.
Hello there,
Thank you for your reply. Yes the main purpose of frontend dashboard is letting the users manage their own posts.
And we have a separate shortcode for frontend dashboard so you can insert to any page which you want to use a frontend dashboard.
Thanks
Hello. Can user edit the post once submited without login?
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us. The post editing is only possible for registered and logged in users.

Hello,
When I create a form defined as “guest”. There is an field to define the default author, the field is: “Post Author”.
The problem is that this field no longer shows all users, is it possible to fix this? If so, is it also possible to add a field for the administrator to search for the name of the guest he wants to insert? This is important when there are many users.
I tried looking for this option for logged in users and it doesn’t exist. Is there any way to add it?
Thanks you!
Hello there,
Thank you for writing to us and sorry for replying a bit late since we were figuring out what could be the proper solution for your query.
The reason of not showing all the users on the list is because we are just fetching 100 users because for some website when there are way too many users then it will freeze the form edit page while trying to fetch all the users.
To overcome this, please add below block of code in your active theme’s functions.php file which will then increase the limit of the users to 300 in the form edit page. You can change the 300 to the exact number of users that you have on your website.
add_filter('fpsm_user_list_args', 'fpsm_user_list_args');
function fpsm_user_list_args($args) {
unset($args['role__in']);
$args['number'] = 300;
return $args;
}
And if you want to assign the logged in user as the post author then please add the below code which will then assign the logged in user as a post author for the guest forms as well.
add_filter('fpsm_insert_postdata', 'fpsm_insert_postdata');
function fpsm_insert_postdata($postarr) {
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
$logged_in_user_id = get_current_user_id();
$postarr['post_author'] = $logged_in_user_id;
}
return $postarr;
}
Please let us know if the provided solution worked for you or not.
Thanks.
Thank you very much! I also found a bug.
I noticed that when a user enters the wrong password on the login page, the error messages do not appear on the front end. When I deactivate the plugin, everything goes back to normal. This happens both with themes and with the free User Profile Builder plugin that is in the WordPress directory.
I tested it with two-factor authentication, and if the user makes a mistake, no warnings about the error are displayed on the login page either. I deactivated the Frontend Post Submission Manager plugin again and it went back to normal.
Hello there,
Thank you for notifying to us. We are currently checking and get back to you shortly.
Thanks.
