ARForms – Post Creator Addon v2.1

The ARForms – Post Creator Addon v2.1 plugin is a powerful extension for the ARForms WordPress form builder, enabling you to automatically create posts, pages, or custom post types directly from form submissions. This addon is ideal for websites where user-generated content is essential, such as blogs, reviews, job listings, real estate, and membership sites.

Key Features

1. Automatic Post Creation
   • The addon allows you to automatically generate posts or pages on your WordPress site based on the data submitted through ARForms.
   • Whether it’s a blog post, product listing, or a custom post type, this addon eliminates the need for manual post creation.
2. Custom Post Types Support
   • You can create custom post types such as products, reviews, testimonials, job listings, or any other custom content type defined on your website.
   • The addon is fully compatible with custom post types registered by your theme or plugins.
3. Field Mapping for Post Content
   • Form fields are mapped directly to the post’s content. You can define where each form field’s data should appear in the post (e.g., Title, Content, Excerpt, Categories, Tags, etc.).
   • For example, if a user submits a review, the form’s title field can be mapped to the post title, the body content to the post content, and a rating field to custom post meta.
4. Category and Tag Assignment
   • You can automatically assign categories and tags to the newly created posts based on the form submission.
   • This helps in organizing content and improving your site’s SEO without the need for manual categorization.
5. Post Status Control
   • You can set the default post status for the generated posts, such as draft, pending review, or published.
   • This allows you to review submissions before they go live on your site, ensuring content quality and consistency.
6. Custom Fields Integration
   • The addon allows integration with custom fields, enabling you to add additional information to the generated post.
   • This is particularly useful if your site requires additional data (e.g., price, rating, location) that doesn’t fit into the regular content fields.
7. User-Submitted Content
   • The Post Creator Addon empowers users to submit content directly from the front end of your site, turning your visitors into content creators.
   • It’s ideal for websites that accept guest posts, user reviews, product listings, or user-submitted articles.
8. SEO Benefits
   • By allowing users to submit posts with relevant content, you can increase the volume of content on your website, which is beneficial for SEO.
   • This content can be automatically categorized and tagged, improving your search engine visibility.
9. Multiple Post Templates
   • You can create multiple post templates for different types of submissions, allowing for different layouts or fields to be used based on the type of post being created.
   • This flexibility is helpful for websites with diverse content types, ensuring each content type is structured appropriately.
10. Email Notifications

• The addon allows you to send email notifications when a post is created. These notifications can be sent to the admin or to the user who submitted the content.
• You can also notify moderators or reviewers if the posts are set to “pending review” status.

11. Custom Post Status Workflow

• If you have a content moderation workflow in place, the addon supports custom post status settings, allowing posts to be published automatically or be placed in a queue for approval.
• This feature helps ensure the quality of user-generated content before it’s visible to the public.

12. Built-In Validation

• The addon supports form validation, ensuring that all necessary fields are filled out before a post is created. This helps avoid incomplete posts being generated.

13. Conditional Logic

• You can use conditional logic to determine which fields should be included in the post creation process based on user input. For example, you can show or hide specific fields depending on the user’s selections.

14. Customizable Post Content

• You can customize the content and structure of the generated post by editing the form’s settings.
• For example, you can prepend or append text to the post content before it’s published, providing additional context or customization.

15. Support for Featured Images

• You can allow users to upload a featured image when submitting their content. The uploaded image will be automatically set as the featured image for the generated post.
