Hello
I'm creating a WP page and I'd like users, who are logged in, to have a simple "post new" button and a simple screen to create a post. I hide their access to the admin page now to keep things simple. I don't want them to go to the existing "add new post " option that is standard with WP. It's too many options. Simplify, Simplify.
Is there something like this already ? Is there a plug in to do this ?
Your help would be appreciated !!

You will probably want to use a custom post type http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type (it is in the back end, but you can simplify it) and then set custom capabilities on it and grant those to subscribers http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap
You can also search for a custom post type plugin and maybe combine that with a custom role editor plugin.

I strongly advise against giving folks not known to you personally and well trusted by you to add content to your site without full review and moderation.
You must log in to post.
