Thread: Alternative to UCan Post

Alternative to UCan Post

Hello,

UCan Post is no longer available on wordpress.org, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a plugin that will allow users to post on the blog within classipress?

Thanks for your input.

I was about to suggest TDO Mini forms but it is also removed from the Wordpress plugin repository. There could be others though that can be searched at the plugin repository.

I found this one on wordpress : http://qpw.famvanakkeren.nl I am not technical minded so was wondering what you think of it? I installed ZBblock on my site as per recommendation by Mr GREEN - Is it still prudent to disable some features of that plugin such as media upload, etc??? or would any attempt at inserting malicious codes be picked-up by ZB Block? Thanks for your input

In attachment its translated to Arabic .If you can deal with it

Thanks, I will keep it in mind. Still hoping to get Quick Post Widget working as it allows users to create their own categories!

Hi,

I managed to get that plugin working: http://qpw.famvanakkeren.nl It can be downloaded from Wordpress (Quick Post Widget) In order to allow your users to post on your blog you have got to (1) set the setting for every users that register on your site to AUTHOR and (2) Make sure that the back office is restricted to ADMIN. I installed ZBblock on my site as per recommendation by Mr GREEN - I also disabled media upload and also the auto-embed within WP.

This is an update on my search for a front end posting plugin so that users could contribute to blog: The following refer to Quick Post Widget

Exchange with the plugin developer

Me:

I got it working using "author" but my theme developper mentioned that it is not recommended as it present a greater security risk. My main concern, however, is preventing people from introducing malware via their posts. I already have the site protected by ZBBlock and was wondering if disabling media upload in your widget was sufficient or should I also disable the plugin editor? I am not technical and I much appreciate your input.

Developer:
The media upload component can be configured to allow only certain file extensions and a certain size. Look for the file:

wordpress\wp-content\plugins\quick-post-widget\mce\tinybrowser\config_tinybrowser.php

If you are in doubt just disable media upload.

Disabling the visual editor won't change much because it's merely a tool for easier posting. With the editor disabled you can, just by using the plain post box of the widget, still insert HTML etc.

I would say there's no risk involved.

I only disabled media upload and the plugin is working fine.

thanks is good plug
