Hi, In this article I will show one example plugin for making post entry from wordpress front end.
Screenshot:
Below is the sample code for the plugin
<?php /* Plugin Name: Insert Post Fontend Demo Plugin Plugin URI: http://thedigilife.com Description: Example Insert Post Plugin and Approval from admin Author: The Digi Life Version: 1.0 Author URI: http://thedigilife.com */ add_shortcode('insertpost','display_insert_form'); function display_insert_form($atts) { if ( !empty($_POST) && !wp_verify_nonce($_POST['insert'],'insert_form') ) { echo 'Sorry, Problem in submitting form'; } else { // process form data $post_data = array( 'post_title' => $_POST['title'], 'post_content' => $_POST['description'], 'post_status' => 'pending', 'post_author' => 1, 'post_category' => null ); if($post_id = wp_insert_post($post_data)) echo "Data Succcessfully added"; } ?> <form action="" method="post" name="insert_form"> <table> <tr> <td><label>Title</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="title" id="title"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label>Description</label></td> <td><textarea rows="7" cols="10" name="description" id="description"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><input type="submit" id="button"></td> </tr> <?php wp_nonce_field('insert_form','insert'); ?> </table> </form> <?php }
We can insert post in wordpress using wp_insert_post which is explained Here
In this sample I have created one sample shortcode for displaying plugin on front and in short code function I have added form to display and before that if post is submitted we will insert the post into database.
