    I installed this, setup a form, etc… I went to the widgets and looked around. I can’t figure out, how are users suppose to be able to create a post?

    Hi Jeff,

    There is an addon to let users add posts from the frontend, its ready but not released yet.
    (if we are talking about the same thing?)

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    I think we are. I want users to blog from the front end/also known as post. That what it appears is possible from the demo but there appeared to not be a way. Thanks! I guess this is all new still….

    A custom link to ‘add new post’ can be placed in a menu. Is that what you mean?

    UsersWP is focused on user profiles. whereas links to general site functionality are usually placed in menus or widegts/widget areas.

    The most common integration sought for GD, for example, is to display a tab on the profile that has a list of the user’s listings.

    For the user to ‘add a listing’ the site manager would put a link into the menu.

    It’s called posts (when people blog) and if you look at your demo some of the users have created posts. My question was “how” because when I signed into the demo and when I installed the plug there doesn’t appear to be a way to post. Stiofan understood. And yes, from the front end.

    As for a custom link to “add new post” I didn’t see this in your demo. It would make sense to have a “front end” way of doing this. it’s not something I really “need” but it’s something that I was looking for since the demo clearly showed users having posted and user profiles showcase their posts. It’s a neat feature, again, not something I need like AFFILIATES (speaking of a whole different issue, I know). Something that would be nice is if users could sell products, which UsersWP appears to offer. However, I feel like it’s going to be like Affiliates in that it may require heavy use and learning of a completely different plugin, am I right in assuming that?

    Apparently the images I tried to attach exceeded file size limits, they were simply of the demo showing https://wpgeo.directory/userswp/profile/danbrown/ and https://wpgeo.directory/userswp/aleluya/

    It’s a good idea to add a link to “Add a post” to the demo.

    At this time, though, the demo does not allow general subscribers to access the dashboard.

    Editors would be given the editor role, access the dashboard, and make a post there.

    Hello, I am very curious if this has been released yet. It was estimated to possibly be released in a week. It’s been 3 weeks. If it’s there now I will probably give UWP another try. Thanks!
