The WordPress User Submitted Posts plugin allows users to submit posts without going to the admin page. 

Add a post submission form on any page or post using the shortcode [add_post_form] 

Form displayed in a page:

Submission form - Frontend Publishing Plugin
Submission form

The form has a title, button to add media, and a text editor. These settings can be edited in Settings. You can also add categories to the form based on the plugin settings.

The shortcode has a few parameters:

  • acf_field_group_key - Allows to add custom fields provided by the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin to the submission form. You should pass the key of the group of fields.
