描述

PressPilot Frontend Editor for Avada lets authenticated users create and edit standard WordPress posts directly from the frontend, without accessing wp-admin.

Designed for editorial workflows where non-admin users need a clean writing experience while administrators keep full control over permissions, status transitions, authorship, and media uploads.

Developed and maintained by CardeeTech.

Key capabilities:

Frontend create/edit form for standard posts
Frontend listing of posts with direct edit links
TinyMCE editor, excerpt, categories, tags, post status, and scheduled date
Featured image upload or external URL (with SSRF protections)
Avada Builder native elements for the two core shortcodes
Internationalization-ready (fully translatable)

Security highlights:

Nonce validation on all form submissions (_ppfenonce)
Capability-gated operations (edit_posts, edit_post, edit_others_posts, publish_posts, upload_files)
Strict sanitization and escaping throughout
External image URL hardening: HTTPS-only, blocks localhost/private/link-local/metadata endpoints

Avada integration:

When Avada Builder is active, the plugin registers native Avada Builder elements for both shortcodes, so editors can add the frontend form and posts list using the visual drag-and-drop builder without writing shortcode syntax.

Shortcodes

[ppfe_edit_post] — Main create/edit form.
[ppfe_my_posts] — Current user’s post list with edit links.
[ppfe_form] — Alias of [ppfe_edit_post].

Attributes for [ppfe_my_posts]:

edit_page — URL of the editor page (e.g. edit_page="/write/")

常见问题

Does this plugin allow guest submissions?: No. All users must be logged in and pass WordPress capability checks before any action is taken.
Can contributors publish directly?: Only users with the publish_posts capability can publish. Contributors are automatically limited to draft/pending workflows.
Is Avada required?: No. The plugin works with any WordPress theme. When Avada Builder is active, native builder elements become available as an added convenience.
What post types are supported?: The plugin targets standard WordPress posts (post) for predictable and controlled editorial behavior.
Can I control who can see other users’ posts in the list?: Yes. Administrators and editors see all posts automatically. Other users with edit_others_posts capability can also see all posts when show_others="1" is added to the shortcode. Without that attribute, every user sees only their own posts.
