Meta Box Frontend Submission

Meta Box Frontend Submission is an official Meta Box extension that allows developers to create custom forms so users can submit and edit posts directly from the front end of a WordPress website. This tool eliminates the need to manage multiple editor accounts in the admin dashboard, offering a cleaner and more accessible publishing experience for both site administrators and contributors.

The extension supports both traditional WordPress post fields—such as title, content, excerpt, and featured image—and all types of custom fields created with Meta Box. This means you can design fully customized forms, including advanced fields like WYSIWYG editors, field groups, conditional logic, and more, to fit your project's exact needs.

One of the great advantages of Meta Box Frontend Submission is its integration flexibility. You can embed forms anywhere on your site using shortcodes or the Submission Form Gutenberg block, without writing additional code. It also includes a User Dashboard that allows contributors to view their submitted posts, edit or delete them, and create new entries from a single interface.

Key features include the ability to set the status of submitted posts (published, draft, or pending review), collect all submissions in the backend for efficient organization, and compatibility with custom table models. It also integrates seamlessly with other Meta Box extensions like MB Group, MB Conditional Logic, and MB Builder, further expanding its capabilities.

This plugin is ideal for sites that rely on user-generated content, such as directories, review portals, school admission forms, advanced contact forms, or any project that requires collecting structured information from the front end. With Meta Box Frontend Submission, you can create a complete, frictionless content publishing system where users contribute directly from your site while you maintain full control over what gets published.
