Allowing other users to login and post

  • Hi there,

    I would like to allow visitors to my site to post their experiences and photos. (My site is about boating)

    Do I enable this by ticking the ‘anyone can register’ box?

    With thanks

  • if you want them to log in and post- you have to elevate their status to either contributor or editor

    if you want to allow just visitor posting, you can use a plugin

    Hi Samuel B,

    Thank you so much for that. I have gone with the tdo mini form and will see how I get on.

    Hi there,

    I downloaded the plug-in and have been looking for its physical presence on my front page.

    I can’t find it though. I have configured some of the choices one can have, but could not find anywhere to confirm the posting of photographs.

    How do visitors find the form?

    With thanks

    if you want it on a page or a post, you simply add the short code
    [tdomf_form1]
    if 1 is your form number

    the readme has a lot as does this page

    To Samuel B –

    I need some help. A prior employee set up dougreitmeyer.wordpress.com, probably using his own email address. I found the website by doing a Google search on myself and found several errors.

    When I tried to log in and couldn’t, I tried resetting the password, which probably sent an email to the previous employee.

    In searching WordPress I found where you had helped someone else with this same problem but then that thread was closed. And at 61 yrs old, I’m not geek enough to figure out how to start a new thread, but found that you seem to be moderating this one. I hope you can help me out with this by changing the email address for dougreitmeyer.wordpress.com to [email moderated] and getting me a new password as well.

    by the way, in order to get this far, I sent up a new user name dougreit with [email moderated], so if WordPress will not allow the same email address for two different login names (dougreitmeyer and dougreit), then just reset the dougreitmeyer.wordpress.com email address to [email moderated] as I get email at that address as well.

    Your help with this is greatly appreciated and if you have any questions, you can call me at [tel no moderated]. And if you have any doubt that I am the Doug Reitmeyer in question, just Google “Doug Reitmeyer” or visit https://www.reitmeyer.com to confirm my identity.

    And just for fun, feel free to visit
