Frontend Submissions

Frontend recipe submission lets users submit recipes from the frontend when the feature is enabled.

Shortcode

[misepress_submit_recipe]

Access control

Submission settings can control:

• Who can submit.
• Whether guests can submit.
• Default status for submitted recipes.
• Admin email notifications.
• Required fields.
• Required image.
• Throttle time between submissions.
• Honeypot anti-spam.
• Optional math challenge for guests.
• Success message.
• Redirect after success.
• Form layout.

Image uploads are only accepted when the upload field is enabled, the visitor is logged in, and their WordPress role has the upload_files capability. Other submitters can still provide an image URL when that field is enabled.

Recommended setup

For public websites, use moderation:

• Set submitted recipes to draft or pending review.
• Require core fields.
• Enable honeypot.
• Throttle guests.
• Notify admins.

Review workflow

After submission:

1. Check title, ingredients, instructions and image.
2. Assign cuisine/course/diet/allergen terms.
3. Calculate or enter nutrition if Nutrition is active.
4. Check schema quality.
5. Publish when ready.
