How to Moderate Guest Posts in WordPress

Do you run a website that depends heavily on guest posts? Ever wondered how you can review those posts readers submit on your form?

That’s where the WPForms Post Submissions addon comes in, allowing you to create a form that accepts guest posts, while offering you control on the review process.

And almost every one of those codes works in one direction.

It hands people something to read, like a menu or a homepage, and takes nothing back.

So they look, then put the phone away. No name or email ever reaches you.

WPForms points the scan the other way. Now it opens your form instead.
