  1. Create a new page in WordPress
  2. Paste the following shortcode into the content area:
[easy_post_submission_manager]
  1. Publish or update the page
  2. Visit the page, you should now see the Posts Manager interface

Posts Manager Page

🔧 Settings Breakdown​

Here is a detailed explanation of the available options:

✅ Allow Edit Post​

Enable this to show an Edit button for each post listed on the page.
This allows users to open the form and modify their content.

🗑️ Allow Delete Post​

Enable this to display a Delete button next to each post, allowing users to remove their own submissions.

🧾 Form Submission Default ID​

Set a default form ID to be used for editing if the original form linked to a post is no longer available.

Example shortcode:
[easy_post_submission_form id=1]

This fallback ensures the Edit button still works properly even if the original form was deleted.

🔐 Login Actions Choice​

Define what should happen when someone who isn’t logged in tries to access the Post Manager Page.

You can choose between two options:

1. Show Login Message​

Shows a custom notification asking the user to log in.

You can customize:

  • Notification Title – The heading of the alert message
  • Notification Message – The content/body of the login prompt

2. Redirect to Login Page​

Automatically sends unauthenticated users to the default WordPress login page.
