Hi, thanks for the question.

Can you give me some more details about how posts are being published on the front end. Are you using a custom form or are you using a plugin to provide this functionality.

If you are using a custom form, then you need to wrap the form code in the Limit Posts shortcode (EG [limit_posts type=”post” action=”publish”] your form code [/limit_posts]).

If you are using a plugin to allow you to perform front end publishing of posts then, if the plugin uses a shortcode, simply warp the shortcode in the limit posts shortcode as above. If it doesn’t use a shortcode then it is unlikely that you’ll be able to use Limit Posts as you want to.

Hope this helps,

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the query.

If I understand your question correctly you want to be able to limit a particular post type to a maximum number of posts with in a specified time period, regardless of which users published the posts?

I’ll assume that this is correct. It’s not something that I’d planned to do with the plugin, but if there is a need for such functionality I’ll consider it for the next release.

I’ll try to take a look at this over the next few days, but I can’t promise anything as I’m a bit pushed for time at the moment.

Thanks.

Hi Noumaan,

glad to hear that you’ve found Limit Posts useful.

Thanks for your suggestions.

1. Allow user to save draft if they’ve reached their limit – this sounds like a really good idea, i’ll definitely consider it for the next release.

2. I’m not sure how easy it would be to save limits when they are added, but yes I agree that it is easy to forget to click Save Settings. I’ve seen other pages show a message when you try to leave and there are unsaved settings. Perhaps this is something that I could implement.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I’ve decided not to add a payment model to Limit Posts. I think it falls outside of the realm of Limit Posts. I am currently working on another plugin which will allow you to charge for posting. Hopefully, I’ll be publishing it in the next couple of weeks.

Lurie, glad to hear you got it working.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks.

OK, it should be working then. I’ll give it a test with a custom post type and see if I can find what the problem is. Will post again as soon as I have some news for you.

Thanks for getting back to me with those details.

When you add Limit Post rules as you have done, it will only limit the number of posts which can be made in the WordPress admin panel.

When you tested this, are you sure that you were logged in as a Subscriber? It’s unusual for Subscribers to publish or submit posts – especially in the admin panel.

Also when a Subscriber creates an ignition_product are you sure that it is submitted for review, rather than published?

From what I’ve been able to find out, when a user contributes to crowd funding through IgnitionDeck, they use a front end form – they don’t do this in the admin panel? If this is the case, then you need to use the Limit Post shortcode with the IgnitionDeck form – if that is possible.

Sorry for all the questions, I’m just trying to get an idea of what is really going on here.

If you want to contact me ‘off forum’ – use the contact form here – http://www.limitposts.com/contact/ . If you send details of your site, I’ll see if I can find some time to take a quick look at it.

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m not familiar with the IgnitionDeck plugin. Unfortunately, as it’s a pay for plugin, I can’t just grab a copy and try to see how Limit Posts would integrate with it.

Can you give me some details about how you have tried to use Limit Posts with IgnitionDeck, or the ignition_product custom post type. I’m guessing that you’ve tried to use the LimitPosts shortcode on an IgnitionDeck form?

Any information which you could provide would be really useful.

Thanks.
