This project focuses on supporting user-generated content. We’re going to build a form that allows visitors to submit a speaker profile and edit that published content – all without requiring a user account nor exposing any of the administrator area to visitors.

Here’s a look at all of the things we tackle in this series:

• Client Interview – hear what the client expresses as their key concerns and project needs
• Project Scoping – see how I convert business requirements into functional requirements
• Plugin Scaffolding – quickly create a new plugin for custom data storage using WP-CLI
• Admin editing form – create a comprehensive admin UI for editing custom content with CMB2
• Front-end submission form – allow visitors to submit custom content
• Password-free authentication – a custom authentication workflow that requires no user accounts
• Email notification system – notify visitors and administrators at different times in the publication process
• Approval workflow – leverage core WP features to create a simple, logical editorial workflow
• Filterable and searchable archive page – Modify the WP_Query object to create an archive that is filterable and searchable with sharable URLs
