MB Frontend Submission is a Meta Box extension which lets developers create custom forms so users can submit posts on the front end of a website. The extension supports both traditional post fields and custom fields, and you can also embed forms anywhere on your site using shortcodes — with no extra coding required.
Front-End Forms Made Easy
No matter if you’re the website owner or if you’re the user submitting content: everyone gets to breathe a little easier with Frontend Submission.
Your Fairy Godmother Has Arrived
When you have multiple people submitting content to a website, managing editor accounts and user permissions can be a huge hassle. Having custom details and posts submitted from the front end is a quicker and cleaner solution. When users contribute their content via a front-end form, the submission can be reviewed from a single location before publication similar to how comments work in WordPress core. Your contributors’ post submissions will be neatly organized for fast and fearless publication in a way that even the most finicky stickler can appreciate. It’s all the magic with no wand needed.
Skip the Set-Up
Before MB Frontend Submission, you would have to use extensive custom code to display the form on the front end, and manually control how and where it saves vast amounts of variable data. Now who has time for that? With MB Frontend Submission, everything is handled: no extra redirection code. Just insert the shortcode to add the form and let the extension do the rest. You can use Frontend Submission to create a flawless, user-generated content system. You’ll be able to relax while details, data and documents roll right in from the front end of your site.
Down to the Last Detail
There are endless ways you can customize your forms to collect all the details you need with a light amount of effort. Below are just a few ways you can use Frontend Submission to get organized without missing a beat.
CHOOSE THE PLACE AND TIME
Use Front End Submission to let users submit properties for rent, sale or whatever your business specializes in. The Map, Image and Video field types are all great ways to show off some real estate – all from a single page.
A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Leverage crowdsourcing since it’s a great way to compile content, especially when everyone has an opinion. Use FrontEnd Submission to have users submit individual book, movie, album or other kinds of reviews that are displayed with an overall rating. Use the Slider field type or a number system as well as a Text Area to let your users rate, rant and rave!
CRAIGSLIST WHO?
The internet is such an amazing way to promote connection, and help facilitate trades and shares: why not create a platform that helps people do both? Use FrontEnd Submission to let folks post their belongings, giveaways, and even their time or resources so you can help more people connect and get what they need.
Award for Supporting Role in Post Management
Although it’s built for custom fields and custom meta boxes, MB Frontend Submission fully supports post creation and management as well. Use MB Frontend Submission to create or edit posts without any limitations. It’s a blockbuster solution for post submission. The extension also supports these post fields:
- ID (in case you want to update an existing one)
- Status (if you want to auto-publish submitted posts or put them in the review queue)
- Title
- Content (using a WYSIWYG editor)
- Excerpt
- Date (with a date/time picker)

Need categories and tags? Post taxonomies can be handled by custom fields in the core Meta Box plugin with the taxonomy field type.
