How To: Allow Post Contributions in WordPress
Posted in: Tutorials by Brad Williams on September 23, 2009
Have you ever wanted to give your website visitors the ability to register in WordPress and contribute posts for review? This feature is actually built into the WordPress core. You can easily accomplish this in WordPress by changing two settings:
First visit the General > Settings SubPanel. Here you will need to set enable the “Anyone can register” Membership option. Next you will need to set the “New User Default Role” to Contributor. That’s it!
Now any visitor to your website can register an account, create new blog posts, and submit those blog posts to you for moderation. Contributed posts can be approved by either an Editor or Admin on your website.
I also recommend installing the Sidebar Login plugin. This plugin will give you a login widget for your sidebar, making it extremely easy for your members to login to your WordPress website. Now all you need are some writers!
