Sidebar Posting

Description

This plugin acts as a quick front-end posting tool, allowing your visitors to easily submit posts and images from the front-end of your site, via a sidebar widget form, or a custom shortcode in a page or post of your choice.
This is a very easy way to get your visitors to engage on your website. The idea came from a client who wanted a way to let members of their congregation post articles in the main church’s website
Some of the niches this plugin can be useful include:

  • Blogging website with many contributors
  • Community webstes with user participation/interativity
  • Forum like websites that don’t want to use a fully featured forum module/plugin
  • Classified ads website where users post and review others’ posts

and more

This plugin is fully localizable with .po file included. The .mo for French is included
