When Posts Submissions is installed, it automatically creates a dedicated page containing the bbforms_posts shortcode, which serves as the front-end dashboard for managing posts. Additionally, a sample BBForms form named Edit Post Form is created, containing all the necessary fields for users to edit their posts.
The automatically created page and form are immediately assigned in the Posts Submissions’s Settings. The page is set as the Posts Dashboard Page, and the sample form is set as the Edit Post Form.
To get started, go to BBForms menu -> Settings -> Posts Submissions tab and select the post types that users can manage, as well as the user roles that are allowed to access the dashboard and forms. Once configured, the add-on is ready for users to create, edit, and manage posts from the front end.
