How to have people add an article with an image

  • Hi, what I am trying to do is to have people register to my site which i have sorted out, but then i want them to fill in a form where they can submit an article. the form would have a space for the title of the story, and then it would have a space for the name of the author. I then want to have an attachment where they can upload an image or put an image in the content and then for the form to come to me.

    Once i have looked at the story, i want to them be able to approave the story and then on there account for it to come up as story approved.

    Can anyone please let me know how you think i should do this

  • Hello @seasideman

    As per your views, your site should have below structure.

    ==> Register/Login
    You can build your own register/login functionality.

    Also you can use plugins like ZM Ajax Login & Register, User registration & user profile – Profile Builder, WP Custom Register Login for that.

    After registering the user, it will be redirected to the dashboard which have some fields.

    ==> Fill the form which has your respected fields
    For the form you should create Posttype like “Approval Form”.
    This posttype have different fields like Title, Name of Author, Attachment or Image etc. You can do this by using ACF.
    When user will submit the form at that time new post will be generated. By using that post’s ID you can insert all form’s data into post_meta.

    ==> That form will be delivered to you for final approvation
    The newly post have by default “Draft” status. So that it will not show.
    After that Admin will approve that post by changing that status to “Publish”.
    At that time you can also send the confirmation mail to user by saying that “Story” is approved.

    ==> Then registered user will have that form details on their account.
    After that you just have to show those approved data in anywhere where you want to show.

    Thank you for that. which plugin would be the best to use and are the easy to generate what you have said

    Hello @seasideman
    As I have mentioned you should use plugin for register/login. But after that all the things will be done by custom code without any plugin.
    Yes exactly it is very easy to generate.
