Accepting guest posts on your blog is a fantastic way to offer a steady stream of content to your readers that you don’t have to generate, which gives you more time to work on other things in your business, like attracting new clients and customers. The problem is that receiving guest posts via email is extremely undependable and inconvenient. I hate copy and pasting articles into my WordPress blog and having to re-format the entire thing. It’s tedious and time consuming.

The WordPress Guest Post Plugin is a really simple and streamlined plugin that allows blog owners to accept guest posts without authors having to login to the WordPress admin area. Contributors enter and submit their articles right into a form hosted on a WordPress page. Blog owners and contributors both receive a fully customizable automated  submission notification online and email. Blog owners can easily edit, approve, and publish article submissions from admin area.

NOTE: Just so we’re clear, this plugin is still in beta and is a work in progress. While you can download it, there are absolutely no guarantees and you should back up your blog before you use it. If you find any bugs or problems with your installation, please use the support form below to notify me.

Installation Is Easy!

1. Upload the unzipped WordPress Guest Post files (the WordPress Guest Post Folder) to the plugins directory

2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

3. Go to the settings page to customize your settings

4. Using the dropdown box, select the page where you want to host your submission form. My suggestion is to actually create a new page for your form. I titled mine Add Post. (see image below)

5. You can optionally modify the other settings including customizing your post submission and post approval messages.

6. To review, edit, and publish your post submissions – just click on “WordPress Guest Post” in the plugin’s admin area and you’ll see a list of your post submissions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Where do users add their guest posts on my site?

Once you upload and activate the plugin, then select the page on your site where you want to host the submission form, you will send visitors to this page like you would any other page on your site. Typically through a normal url link: http://yoursite.com/submissions

Where are my unapproved guest post submissions?

Click the WordPress Guest Post link in your WordPress Admin sidebar. You will be directed to a list of unapproved posts. Once you approve the post, it will allow you to edit the post. It is NOT live yet. After you’ve edited the post, you can then approve it for publishing to your blog.
