Can I create new posts from frontend

Yes

Can I Edit my posts from frontend

Yes

Can I delete my posts from frontend

Yes

Can I upload photo/image/video

Yes

I am having problem with uploading files

Please check if you’ve specified the max upload size on setting

Why “Edit Post” page shows “invalid post id”?

This page is for the purpose of editing posts. You shouldn’t access this page directly.
First you need to go to the dashboard, then when you click “edit”, you’ll be
redirected to the edit page with that post id. Then you’ll see the edit post form.

Reviews

Good Plugin – Great support

I have been using the User Frontend Pro plugin for a few months now and have been really pleased with he level of functionality.
I have recently experienced an issue which require support – and the level of support and speed of response was at a high level.
I would recommend this plugin as an advanced way of working and using WordPress Posts.

Great Plugin with Great Support

I have been working with this plugin for about 3 years on a very large project. I have a developer working with me and we have had to ask a few very specific questions and their support staff has always been available to help.

If you need some good frontend forms with the capability of customizing, this is the place to go!
