🔄 Author Access​

This option determines who is allowed to create posts:

  • Allow Guest (default): Anyone can submit posts, no login required
  • Only Logged User: Only logged-in users can submit posts

If “Allow Guest” is selected​

You’ll see:

👤 Assign Author​

  • Assign a specific user account as the post author for guest submissions
  • Posts created by guests will be attributed to this user

If “Only Logged User” is selected​

You’ll see:

🔁 Login Action Choice​

Controls what happens when a non-logged-in user tries to access the submission page:

  1. Show Login Message
    Displays a message asking the user to log in.
    Additional fields:

    • Notification Title
      Example: Login Required
    • Notification Message
      Example: Please log in to create a post.

🛠 Troubleshooting​

  • Guests can't submit posts? Make sure Allow Guest is selected
  • Logged-out users see a blank form? Use Show Login Message instead of redirect
  • Posts show no author? Make sure to set Assign Author when allowing guest submissions
