User-friendly Plugin
I tried a few WordPress plugin options before I decided for the right solution to implement my requirement. And I chose User Submitted Posts because it was user-friendly and easy to work with.

Jordana Blackman, creator of Chicks Who Ride Bikes
Makes it simple
User submitted posts are critical to building our online social network as all of our members are able to publish their own blogs and content which is pushed out to our community. The plugin makes it simple for our community members to do that.

  • Safe

    I really needed a solution to let users add content while keeping them away from the admin dashboard. It's just safer because they could change configurations that are not relevant

  • Phenomenal for my traffic

    This plugin was exactly as advertised! It's really nice letting users have access to the website without having to deal with the admin panel. This plugin has really streamlined my website and made it much more user-friendly. Now there is no confusion about what can be accessed and I don't have to worry about my data been seen or used by users. In addition, my users seem to be much more willing to contribute content and be more engaged which is been phenomenal for my traffic.

  • Keeps users happy

    It's such a blessing to keep users from the Admin panel. They used to get confused with the technical words and colorless panels. Now they are much more engaged ;)
