A practical approach to front-end event submission for wordpress.
Let contributors submit events without broad dashboard access while editors keep quality and ownership under control.
Free submission foundation
Free includes unlimited basic submissions, drafts, previews, editing, listing management and moderation.
ExploreTrust and ownership
Use claims, messages, reports, privacy controls and spam protection to keep the workflow accountable.
ExploreAdvanced Pro workflow
Add custom fields and dynamic filters, scoped team roles, configurable reminders and scheduled operational digests.
Put this guidance into practice.
Define contributor roles
Decide who may submit, edit, claim and publish, and which changes return to review.
Build the smallest useful form
Ask only for information needed to publish and discover the event; use the Pro visual builder when specialised custom fields are required.
Test every outcome
Submit a valid event, a duplicate, an incomplete record and an unauthorised edit, then check notifications and moderation.
Common questions.
Do contributors need WordPress admin access?
No. The front-end dashboard and submission flow are designed to avoid broad dashboard permissions.
Can submissions publish immediately?
You can design an approval workflow, but moderated publishing is usually safer for community directories.
When should I choose Pro?
Choose Pro when standard fields are not enough or the team needs scoped collaboration, configurable reminders or Needs Attention digests.
