I'm developing a site that allows signed-in users to create blogs posts. There needs to be an option to make it either public or password protected. It's being designed to allow users to stay on the front end of the site, which is absolutely necessary. I'm currently using DJD Site Post, which gives other options for post visibility in the admin console. I'm open to any other plugin, even, as long as I can upload videos using that plugin. Any plugins, code snippets, or other items of interest I can use? Thanks!
Are you trying to create your own module for user submitted posts? If yes, then please consider using existing plugins for the same purpose. It will cut down your work to nothing.
Visit http://wordpress.org/plugins/front-end-publishing/
This plugin provides a new front-end publishing module for registered users, you can control if the post gets published immediately or not.

I have a WordPress website that I use to introduce our Wedding company. I want to add the functionality that I can create/generate login credentials for each of my client. And when I give them the credentials and a url, they can login on that url using those credentials which can redirect them to a custom made page that displays only their photos/videos as a gallery.
Can you suggest how I can add this function to my site? Are there some plugins that can help me achieve this in free?
Thanks
I'd look into buddypress area for an MVP. At least you get decent profiles out of the box and can build some logic around private pages / communities there. Of course, it's totally possible to do with any membership plugin too, but they all are too bloated for my taste. Better try it with BuddyPress and then develop from scratch with the logic you want.
Is it possible to have Admin Plugins? Or are plugins only for the Site?
What I want is to have a notification system (not email) on the Admin side very much like Facebook. The trigger for such notifications is from the Site.
I've scanned through these events for Plugins and implemented a very simple content plugin (just testing onContentAfterTitle) for Site only.
Questions
Do these events also apply to the Admin side?
Is it possible to have an Admin Plugin that selects notifications from the database and displays them on screen?
Or if you guys can recommend an existing extension, that would be of great help. Thanks
The plugins are available for both side admin and site.
the difference is based on the events used inside the plugin.
for example onContentAfterSave event on the content plugin trigger when an article is saved.
its available in both side when an admin saves articles it trigger, also from site users post articles then also it will trigger.
Some events that are applied only on the site like
onContentPrepare,onContentAfterTitle, onContentBeforeDisplay,onContentAfterDisplay etc
so which event is choose based on that the plugin works!.
The notification plugins you are looking for is what does exactly ? then only we can suggest an event or plugin like its related to article, user or something else.
Hope its make sense..
I am very new to WordPress; I usually build my sites and web apps using HTML, JQuery, and PHP. This WordPress thing has thrown me for a loop. A little background: Another company has created a new website for us and they created it as a WordPress site. I have the files and WordPress database which is all installed on our servers.
I need to build a user authentication page for users to use to login and view another page. So how do I implement user authentication with WordPress, but not give users access to the WordPress administration, and have the page for the users ensure they're logged in? All of this needs to remain with the overall theme of the WordPress website.
Firstly, when creating WordPress user, you can decide their administration level there.
You can really rein-in your users using this plugin - http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-access-manager.
Now, if i'm not mis-interpreting what you're saying, you want to serve different content to certain users. Well, my friend. Fear not, that's where plugins are handy.
1.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-specific-content/ (select specific users by user name, or by role name who can view a specific post content or page content)
2.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/pagerestrict/ (restrict all, none, or certain pages/posts to logged in users only)
If you're unsure how to install, activate, or use the plugin. There are an abundance of youtube & written tutorials for you to utilize. P.S. Don't neglect the wordpress documentation, it's often very informative.
We have made a duplicate of one of our sites, this is the duplicate:
http://test.blog.aias.com.au/
Cannot get the comments to work for anonymous or admin users on the front end of the site. What I mean by that is that if I am admin I can only post comments via the administration interface (writing a comment in the comments section) but not on the fron-end of the website.
What is most bizzare is that the comments work fine on the original site but not on the duplicate site.
In the "Discussion" settings, "Users must be registered and logged in to comment" is tuned off but that still doesn't explain why even admin users cannot post comments via the "Add comment" link on the front-end of the website.
How can I get the Comments to work for the duplicate site?
Is there any back-end configurations files that need changing after doing the deployment to the duplicate website?
thanks,
Andrei
I suggest using this plugin once in the wp-admin, in tools you'll see "Search and Replace" type in the old url(original) and replace with the new url..click go and it will replace every single line in your database with the new value. I've done this with many wordpress sites moving from dev to production.
How can I let the visitors publish a post without registration in wordpress ?
Any programming modifications suggestions ?
TDO Mini Forms will do what you what you want without too much programming, if any. Here's part of the description from the plugin page:
This plugin allows you to add highly customisable forms that work with your Wordpress Theme to your website that allows non-registered users and/or subscribers (also configurable) to submit and edit posts and pages. New posts are kept in "draft" until an admin can publish them (also configurable). Likewise edits can be kept be automatically kept as revisions until an admin approves them. It can optionally use Akismet to check if submissions and contributions are spam. TDO Mini Forms can be used to create "outside-the-box" uses for Wordpress, from Contact Managers, Ad Managers, Collaborate Image Sites, Submit Links, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the standard WordPress settings will allow you to open up the comments. Assuming you're using at least version 2.8, go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion. Here you'll find the standard options, try this combo ('yes' and 'no' indicate if the boxes are checked):
Other comment settings:
no - Users must be registered and logged in to comment
Before a comment appears:
yes - An administrator must always approve the comment
no - Comment author must have a previously approved comment
Try this on for size ;-)
WordPress does have a 'post by email' feature:
WordPress can be configured to use
e-mail to post to a blog. To enable
this functionality, you need to:
Create a dedicated e-mail account to be used solely for posting
to your blog,
Configure WordPress to access that account, and
Configure WordPress to publish messages from the e-mail account
You can blog by e-mail using most
standard e-mail software programs or a
Weblog Client -- a program
specifically designed to send posts
via email.
Link to the documentation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email
For this purpose, you can use the following plugins: gravity forms (one of the best, but not free) post from site and quick post widget.
TDO forms is a waste of time, in my opinion: it's very difficult to use and to learn.
