## Description

Add an interface on your site to write a post (or page, or anything), without having
to go into the admin section. Also allows for ‘anonymous’ posting (not logged in
users, still asks for name/email) with a recaptcha. This makes Post From Site a 
perfect plugin for your user reviews, a suggestion box, or even a very basic forum
site.

After install, you can display a form on your site via a widget, shortcode, or PHP
code in your theme. See [this page for further documentation](http://me.redradar.net/category/plugins/post-from-site/).

## Screenshots

 * Post From Site in action (default ‘twentyeleven’ theme): inserted onto a sticky
   post using the shortcode.

## Installation

 1. Unzip `pfs.zip`
 2. Upload all files to the `/wp-content/plugins/post-from-site` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

#### Use your choice of include:

 1. Add a widget in the [Widgets section](https://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Widgets_Screen)
 2. Add a shortcode to a page/post/CPT
 3.  * Post From Site’s basic shortcode is `[post-from-site]`. It has three options:`
       popup` defines whether the form will show on the site, or only after clicking
       a link (defaults to false, not a popup). `link` defines that link’s text (defaults
       to ‘quick post’). `cat` restricts the post to a specific category (defaults 
       to none).
 4. Add PHP code to your template files.
 5.  * `<?php $pfs = new PostFromSite(); $pfs->form(); ?>` will output the form. You
       can pass the same variables as in the shortcode.

## FAQ

  The popup won’t show up / I’m redirected to a white page on submit

Check that you have the javascript and css files in the plugin’s folder (`post-from-
site`). A problem with the first version of this plugin was that the plugin was 
looking for the files in the wrong directory. For other people it was also a problem
with my code assuming a Linux filestructure, so on Windows servers it broke. 2.0.0
+ shouldn’t have this problem, as I’m using a different method of calling other 
files.
