The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Allow Site visitors to post without being registered (6 posts)

    I was looking for a plugin that would allow any visitor to my blog to submit an article. The article would then be sent to the administration panel where I would approve the article.

    Something similar to:

    Does anyone know how to configure Wordpress to allow anonymous posts, or is there a plugin that accomplishes this task?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I've done the following but it is not annoymous, although it gets visitors posting right quickly.

    Users must still stop by your wp-signup.php to register, but they'll be bloggin' seconds later.

    (Find in code refernce to role Author, change to Contributer)

    No plug in is needed. You can allow visitors to post to your blog. You can even allow them to do it anonymously.

    All you need to do is html and php.

    Of course that opens you up for spam, DDoS attacks, security issues, etc.
