USP Pro extends User Submitted Posts with a form builder in the WordPress admin area. Create unlimited front-end forms and fields, then place each form on a Post, Page, or Widget using its supplied shortcode. Visitors can submit through your site’s front end; forms can also use the underlying add-on’s optional login requirement.

Choose the user workflow

Use a post-submission form to collect articles, listings, or other user-generated content. A registration form gathers account information, while a contact form includes a front-end communication route. When both actions belong together, a combo form can submit a post and register a user in one workflow.

What information and files can a form collect?

The form builder lets you add fields, labels, and supporting text. Field types include text, password, URL, search, email, month, time, color, date, range, and number inputs, as well as textareas, checkboxes, radio buttons, choose menus, and file fields. Forms can collect names, email addresses, URLs, titles, tags, categories, content, custom fields, terms agreements, and images. Choose which fields appear and set them as required or optional.

User Submitted Posts works with image submissions and can show submitted images on the front end. USP Pro adds multimedia file uploads, including video and other file types supported by WordPress. Available form controls include input validation, hidden fields, captcha options such as Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile, and an optional login requirement.

How do submissions fit your WordPress content?

Forms support unlimited Custom Post Types and custom Taxonomy fields, as well as Custom Post Status and Post Formats. An advanced shortcode can display submitted posts on the front end, allowing them to appear according to your WordPress content workflow. Custom error messages and redirects let you set what visitors see after submission or when a form encounters a problem. USP Pro also includes advanced security capabilities.
