I have created a simple wordpress plugin which will create widget in sidebar to post from frontend(without going into admin page) . Recently plugin has no setting options . So you can use it by just activating it .
Features :-
1. Sidebar widget posting :-
2. Alert for non-logged in users :-
3. Post with category submission :-
4. Error reporting :-
5. very simple to use .
Installation instructions :-
- Upload
post it widgetto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- add widget from widget section and use the plugin .
Download it from wordpress repository
Please give feedback in the comment section .
I have a couple of questions if you have time.
1. Is it possible to limit the number of category choices the contributor has to pick from?
2. How does Post It Widget notify me that there is a post that has been submitted for review?
3. Is it possible to set things up so that the author of the post gets any comments sent directly to them?
1. Is it possible to limit the number of category choices the contributor has to pick from?
yes check this and edit piw-widget.php file http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories as per your need . use exclude to hide some categories. ‘exclude’ => ’3′,’7′, etc
2. How does Post It Widget notify me that there is a post that has been submitted for review?
well it requires some coding . I will add this feature in next version . may be in 1-2 days.
3. Is it possible to set things up so that the author of the post gets any comments sent directly to them?
this is already available . select default role as contributor and anyone who post through widget will be notified via email . have you tested with test account ?
I can’t use it because I need to be able to upload an image (can’t have a post without an image, right?. Will you add this feature in the future?
Hi Admin
1st Thanks for a great plugin
I have a small issue, is it possible in the drop Down menu, (chose category) to show the categorys i alphabetic ordre, when we are finish with the site, we Will have between 150-200 categoris
Or even better the option to write the category oure self, in the top of chose category.
The category we use is coustem numbers for instance “Fdk026″
In advance Thanks a lot

Hi,
I’m using WordPress with Multiple-networks.
I’m getting and Error notice on the wp-home right above the add post widget and can’t seem to get rid of it, error is as follows;
Notice: Undefined index: title in /home/mysite/public_html/rss/wp-content/plugins/post-it-widget/piw-functions.php on line 10
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.
Nevermind I ended up re-installing WP and now it works. Thanks for the Plugin.
Hi
Is there a way that i can limit the amount of characters someone can put via this widget with the Post Title and the Post Content
you need to set javascript character limiter to that plugin .
follow this tutorial

I Simply used within the title input and post <textarea . No javascripts needed.
max_length without the _
Can we use it with un-logued user?
Thanks a lot, will try and implement that. Another question I’ve set the widget to publish without approval for logged in users. but right after clicking post, the page refreshes with a link to the post without displaying it directly, then you need to refresh the page for it to display. Was thinking of adding a redirect in the plugin somewhere. Will let you know if manage to get it right.
Simply love this widget.
Hi,
I need some help, the widget is working great, I’m using the widget in the widget sidebar on my home page. Only thing I need it to do now is, after you click submit I want it to make the post and refresh the home page instead of posting a link above the widget that you must click on to view the “refreshed” home page. Any ideas how this can be done?
Regards
Just an update I added a meta refresh in the place of the echo code showing the url of the post in load-post.php on line 53. But I don’t think this is the correct way of doing it but will have to do till I find a better method.
Hello, thanks for your plugin, we have a small question, is possible to integrate other text area then write this to EXCERPT box? so we have this structure:
Title
Content
Excerpt
Is possible di that?
