I would like to know which WP plugin should I choose to allow every user who come to my page to add a post to my page form the frontend.
He just click on a button add a new post or something like that. Than a form appear and he inserts the title and uploads an image.
After that its published as a post.
Is there a solution like this available for WP?
Thanks in advance.
From what I know, there is no existing plugin doing it as you need. Even if it existed, I wouldn't recommend it's use for security reasons; it is hard to follow every uses and make sure visitors would post the way you want.
You are definitely better to code it by your own, and it's quite simple using the wp_insert_post function. This function will work anywhere you put it inside Wordpress (no need to build a plugin from scratch), so a simple form with validation would make it.
Hope it guides you on what you're looking for.

I'm creating a Freelancer website using WordPress. For that, I need to create a posting project function for the employers. I have tried many plugins up to now to create this functionality. This function will let the employer post their project/job using a form (a file uploader should also be included) after submitting the posted project/job should be visible on the projects/jobs page of the site. Can someone give me a solution for this on how should I create this and if there are any good plugin in WordPress that I can use to create this? Thank You
Have you tried with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/.
You can try it. Maybe it'll helpfully for you.
I want to add the user registration form to several pages in WordPress.
Until now, I couldn't find any solution for that.
I tried to copy the form from the WooCommerce login/registration template.
Unfortunately without success.
Is there any way to do this without a plugin?
Maybe I made a mistake at my first try to solve that problem.
You could copy the form from the file /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/myaccount/form-login.php and use it everywhere on the site.
Works fine ;)
So I am trying to do this and I don't know how. I have a wordpress powered website with a plugin called "frontier-post" in it. This plugin makes a new front-end post submission. The way to use it is to put the shortcode "[frontier-post]" in any post in my wordpress page and that page turns into this.
I want to make a custom page for myself, where I can have the content created by this plugin there too. So I do not want it to be a post in my wordpress, but lets say at a corner in the custom page. I have searched and found these but the suggestions there would not work. I am able to include the wordpress so that the custom page has access to posts, etc. but even using this
echo do_shortcode('[frontier-post]');
would not help me. (even if header is included)
These are the similar things i found:

I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this.
If you are creating a PHP page that isn't going to be rendered inside WordPress, you can't use a Plugin of the WordPress engine to accomplish what you are wanting to build. (As the accepted answer to one of the pages you link to indicates).
Instead, you might be able to use the json-api plugin and have your custom page query it for the data. While it won't render the shortcode, it will give you the raw data to work with.

Edit:
Based on a comment, your do_shortcode should work...just try it without the square brackets.
i built up a wordpress theme and inserted an imageslider to this. The Images are still static but i would like to define them on every wordpress-page. I may could filter the page ID in the template-header and define the images dynamically.
Now im searching for a method to dynamically define them in the pageeditor in the backend of wordpress. So that the customer can change them himself for every page.
Is there already a plugin for this problem or any other easy solutions?
thanks and greatings

There is some great slider plugins already out there. WooThemes's one being one of my favourite. It is $35 though.
If you've already got it all setup though, and just need to be able to do it dynamically, then you could use a plugin like Attachments. You can just have it call the attachments for the current page/post, and use those images. If you NEED to have a slider on every page, then check for attachments on the current page/post, and if there is none, then request the ones for the home page. Done and done. Well I hope so, not sure if I read your question correctly... Hope this helps but :)
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
