    🏆 The #1 Plugin for User-Generated Content!

    Enable visitors to submit posts from the front end of your site.

    User Submitted Posts (USP) provides a front-end form that enables visitors to submit posts and upload images. Just add the following shortcode to any Post, Page, or Widget:

    [user-submitted-posts]

    That’s all there is to it! Your site now can accept user generated content. Everything is super easy to customize via Plugin Settings page.

    The post-submission form may include any/all of the following fields:

    • Name
    • Email
    • URL
    • Post Title
    • Post Tags
    • Post Category
    • Post Content
    • Custom Field 1
    • Custom Field 2
    • Custom Checkbox
    • Challenge Question
    • Google reCAPTCHA (v2 or v3)
    • Post Images
    • Agree to Terms

    Each of these fields may be set as required, optional, or disabled. You can set the Post Status of submitted posts as “Pending”, “Draft”, “Publish Immediately”, or publish after a specific number of approved posts.

    USP enables users to upload any number of images when submitting a post. You can customize the min/max width, height, and number of submitted images.

    [user-submitted-posts] // Put the USP form or any other content here.
