A free WordPress plugin to enable anonymous frontend ghostwriter access

AccessPress Anonymous Post Pro is a free WordPress plugin that allows users to post content on your website without an account. This anonymous WordPress publishing plugin allows you to set up ‘ghostwriter’ permissions and restrictions without requiring frontend logins. You can also ban unwanted page elements, such as links, images, or file uploads.

Similar to how platforms like Instagram and Twitter allow people to post content, your website can let guest authors do the same without requiring them to sign up or in. It’s like having a section for open comments, except users have more features and tools to play with.

Do I need to log in?

As the website admin, you must log in to set up the plugin and access backend WP tools like the media gallery. However, you and website visitors do not need to log in to post anonymous content.

What about spam protection?

As the webmaster, you can choose between fundamental math CAPTCHA or Google reCAPTCHA. More importantly, you can moderate and approve submissions before they’re published online.

Does the frontend publisher still work?

The WP frontend publisher plugin has gone through many changes since 2020’s Gutenberg update. Nevertheless, it does work, and it should continue to as long you keep it updated.

Is the free version sufficient?

This frontend poster plugin is remarkably generous with free features. However, if you’re hoping to turn your website into a genuine social media platform, you’ll need the premium version to access unlimited forms and custom fields.

A very powerful tool

This anonymous guest posting software piggybacks on many great WordPress functions without stepping on them or opening up any security risks. The degree to which this tool can come in useful within a social media setting is almost unlimited. You can even create a full-fledged social media platform if you want.
