How To Set Up Submission Confirmation Message

WP User Frontend provides an easy-to-use dashboard for managing all front-end posting-related issues. With this feature, you can customize your users' submitted posts and let them know whether their posts have been successfully submitted or not. This will help you to effectively manage and streamline the posting process.

If you have previously utilized the WP User Frontend on your WordPress website, the submission process will be more familiar to you. If you are unsure about how to configure the submission confirmation message or related components, we can assist you with that.

Let's see how to set up a submission confirmation message on your WordPress site:

Setting Up Submission Confirmation Message

Step 1: Accessing the Post Form Settings

1. Log in to your WP Admin Dashboard.
2. Navigate to User Frontend > Post Forms.
3. Create a new form or select an existing form.
4. Go to Settings for the selected form.

Step 2: Configuring the Submission Confirmation Message

1. Under the General tab, locate the Successful Redirection field.
2. Choose where to display the confirmation message after form submission.

Redirection Options:

You can choose from four different redirection methods:

• Same Page: The confirmation message appears on the same page where the form is submitted.
• Newly Created Post: The message is displayed within the newly created post.
• To a Page: Redirects users to a specific page on your website with a custom message.
• To a Custom URL: Redirects users to an external or custom URL after submission.

1. Setting Up Redirection to the Same Page

• Select Same Page from the Redirect To dropdown menu.
• A new field, Message to Show, will appear.
• Enter the confirmation message users will see after submitting the form (e.g., “Post saved successfully.”).
• Click Save Form to apply changes.

2. Redirecting to a Newly Created Post

• Select Newly Created Post from the Redirect To dropdown menu.
• Click Save Form to apply changes.
• Once the user submits a post, they will be redirected to the newly created post page.

3. Redirecting to a Specific Page

1. Create a new page in WP Admin > Pages > Add New.
2. Add the confirmation message you want to display (e.g., “Thank you for your submission!”).
3. Go back to User Frontend > Edit Form > Settings.
4. In the Redirect To dropdown menu, select To a Page.
5. Choose the newly created page from the list.
6. Click Save Form to finalize the changes.

4. Redirecting to a Custom URL

• Select To a Custom URL from the Redirect To dropdown menu.
• Enter the desired URL where users should be redirected.
• Click Save Form to confirm changes.

Step 3: Managing Post-Submission Settings

After setting up redirection, you can further customize post-submission behavior:

• Post Update Status – Define whether the post should be published immediately, saved as a draft, or pending review.
• Success Messages – Customize messages displayed after submission.
• Edit Time Limits – Restrict how long users can edit their submitted posts.
• Update Button Customization – Modify the text and style of the update button.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage how users experience post-submission confirmations in WP User Frontend.
