I have a Wordpress page using Contact Form 7. Is there a plugin I could install that would let me subscribe emails entered into this form to my Mailchimp List without changing the design of the form? Or could I add some code in the inside functions.php, maybe to call the API? The form is at the bottom right of this page:

While you can always try and custom code the functionality which is what I'd recommend if you enjoy coding. But if you want just the solution then you can use the CF7 MailChimp Extension which, I am sure, will exceed your expectation and the integration is just perfect.

I am a creating a website on WordPress that uses a plunging called H5P which allows the creation of interactive content. as in the picture below. However the creation of the content is currently only possible from the dashboard.
I would like to allow my website guests to use the plugin to create content but from a separate page and without letting them access or use the WordPress dashboard. In other words, I just want to show the users the section in green in the picture.
Similarly, Is there any way to allow the guests to create posts also without going from the dashboard? such as another page that the same fields to create a post but to be visited without going through WordPress dashboard?
Thanks a lot for any help you may provide

I use the tinymce editor for creating comments and I need to make it available to users outside of the admin zone.
How do you do that without a plugin ?
I've tried every available plugin but they either don't work without breaking the javascript (ajax) or do not work at all.Thank you.
Edit : I installed the "Ajaxed Comments" plugin and got it to work by having it reload the whole page after the content has been submitted.
I am now trying to implement the wp_editor function either with jquery or PHP, without any success so far.
I want a live validation form plugin for wordpress. In a page I have fields for Firstname, Lastname, Compnay name, Mobile number. I want to validate all of them without clicking on submit button. So is there any kind of worpress plugin available? Any help will be appreciable.
Add jquery.validate to a plugin or theme, and you can write simple validation scripts that will do what you want. I don't know if there is a plugin wrapping that up.
Alternatively, buy and install Gravity Forms, which will do something similar, and is a great way to build forms.
My client wants to create a form on his new WP site that when filled out and submitted will be submitted to his admin post queue to approve and if he approves gets posted on his site in the "blog" (which is actually a bunch of guitar like tabs). The form would be custom and have custom fields. Below is the form, but in the old design before I did a refresh on it.
So, how hard would this be? He does not want it in the WP admin panel which i began to do, but outside in a page like /contribute
The Anonymous Posting plugin appears to do what you're looking for.
You could use the TDO Mini Forms plugin.
If you're looking to create the form using native Wordpress functions, check out wp_insert_post.
Sorry I can't provide the hyperlinks because I'm a new Stack Overflow user. :-/
You can try TDO Mini Forms plugin.The link to the plugin is here.
Click "Temporary Mirror" link for downloading the plugin in the above site.
I'm making a wordpress site which looks like and behaves less like a blog and more like a classic web site. I need to make plenty of custom forms and by now I have three equally bad solutions to this.
One would be to create each form as a theme template file. Those pages would submit data to themselves and all would be great, except the fact that I don't really like my plugin and theme to be so hardly connected. I think that theme should be for design only, which means header, footer, etc... and that plugin should handle all the other work.
Second solution is to make some controller.php file somewhere in my plugin folder and then all requests should be directed to this controller which would control what page should be displayed and how. And each page should be made with the use of WP short codes located inside my plugin folder. Problem with this approach is that I have problems transfer POST parameters, after I submit a form. I would submit a form to my controller which would then redirect it to a page with all POST parameters lost.
Third solution would be to target actual pages which display content with the use of WP shortcodes, and when user successfully submits the form shortcode would instead of the custom form, return some Thank you message. Problem here lies in fact that if you hit refresh while Thank You message is displayed browser would submit the form once again. And again and again, every time you'd press refresh.
Simple question. How would you do it?
Would it be the first way? I see many people doing just that, hardcoding their custom forms inside template files, even though it may be not the cleanest solution. Hmm... Still, I would like to separate my forms and logic away from my theme.

There are a couple of good form solutions as existing plugins. The two that come to mind immediately are Gravity Forms, which you must purchase:
http://www.gravityforms.com/
or Formidable Forms, which has a free basic version and a paid advanced version:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/formidable/
I would definitely suggest using a plugin. It's best to keep design and functionality separate when possible. Both of these plugins are pretty simple to use. I know formidable uses shortcodes, but I'm not sure about Gravity Forms
