Paul, with WS Form, is it possible to modify the options page in ACF through a form? Does your course also cover this, or does it only address forms for custom post types? Thank you in advance!
Hi Paul, thanks for the video. Does WSForm work with the itthinx Group plugin? Members of groups should be able to do this: 1. edit (but not delete) a page of the post type "Group Profile", which exists exactly once per group (created by an administrator together with the group itself); and 2. create, edit and delete additional pages of some other post types, i.e. "Group Event", "Group Post", "Group Service" and some more. All these additional pages have to be connected to the given group, and all group members (with a given group-based permission) should be able to execute these tasks. Is that possible? Does one of your courses cover this use case?
@@matt_4329 you can enable the WYSIWYG editor and insert contents and media there. You can then convert that content to blocks if needed in the back end. To my knowledge, there’s no way of invoking the Gutenberg editor in the front end of a site at this point in time.
Yeah, all these plugin devs should really do all this for free so we don't have to pay anything. It's only fair that they work a full time job for nothing, so we can save about $.40 a day. They are so greedy and selfish!
@@TheAdminBar What's happening is the cost of all these plugins, page builders, and templates just to do basic tasks add up to cost more than an all in one CMS solution.
@@TheAdminBar The plugins themselves aren't the problem (though some could probably spare to lower their costs down from $149 per year), it's the entire infrastructure & how it eventually squeezes the developer and the consumer/client by extension. I've never used a platform like Shopify & it's almost certainly far more limited, but I'm sure it's probably less expensive than a Wordpress site that has been built to have the same functionality. At a certain point it becomes unsustainable with these plugin & page builder costs & we have to look for different solutions. I don't think we're there yet, but the trend is alarming.
I have actually considered moving to Squarespace this year, after 26 years of Wordpress (since it was called B2), because of all the added costs. But the fact is that my blog is also an e-commerce platform with a full CRM solution, a portfolio and some tools and safety in place. The same options, with less control because I own my space now, is actually more expensive with Squarespace and I would have to pay the whole sum in one go every year, while now all the expenses are spread (mostly close to Black Friday but not all). Swings and roundabouts, but if even someone as invested as me is considering moving is probably not a good sign. At least I know enough PHP to be able to write my own plugins with the help of AI, so I’m slowly getting rid of some that ‘do-it-all’ while I only need a feature or two.
I do this with custom code, without plugins, i do this bcs i have all control over html(in my case twig with timber), javascript and design, last project was a cooking site with payment subscriptions based on account, users have a separate dashboard where can manage profile, subscriptions, and post recipes, the subscription have 2 levels(free and chief), chief lvl is with money but have ability to post recipes, view premium ebooks and premium recipes, free lvl see only free stuff like recipes and ebooks
There are plent of options and ways to build frontend forms, and Frontend Admin does a good job. The concern I have is based on the many complaints I've seen about support. For a commercial project that a client is paying for, I think stability and support are an important consideration. :)
@@WPTuts True. I just implemented Frontend Admin after watching one of your previous vids. Are there serious issues with it aside from poor support? It worked pretty well for my intended solution, but you're right I worry about plugins eventually breaking on WP updates.

WSForm is great! I'd like to see how you made the actual front end side with the add / edit / delete options for each of the posts.
All of that is covered in my latest course. :)

Fantastic Thank you!
WS Form is the form GOAT!

Can you add blog posts and add images under the headings and in between paragraphs in the content field?

Wp It's getting expensive to manage with all plug-ins

Como hacer el dashboard con jetengine?
I do this with custom code, without plugins, i do this bcs i have all control over html(in my case twig with timber), javascript and design, last project was a cooking site with payment subscriptions based on account, users have a separate dashboard where can manage profile, subscriptions, and post recipes, the subscription have 2 levels(free and chief), chief lvl is with money but have ability to post recipes, view premium ebooks and premium recipes, free lvl see only free stuff like recipes and ebooks
With a little elbow grease, Frontend Admin still works just fine as a free option
