Add the form
- Create a page, for example “Add a resource”.
- Add this shortcode to it:
[opendoor_submit]- Go to Resources > Settings > Pro > Provider submissions and choose that page as the Submission form page.
Every resource page now has a “Something out of date? Suggest an update” link, which opens the same form already filled in for that listing.
Reviewing new listings
New submissions arrive as Pending resources. Open one, check the details (the submitter’s name, email, and notes are in the sidebar), and click Publish to add it to the directory. The submitter is emailed when it goes live.
Reviewing suggested updates
Go to Resources > Suggested updates. Each suggestion shows the current and suggested value for every changed field, side by side.
- Uncheck any change you do not want.
- Click Apply selected changes. The listing is updated and marked verified today.
- Or click Dismiss.
Emails
- Notify about submissions: who is emailed about each submission. Blank means the site admin email.
- Email submitters: a thank-you after they submit, and a note when their new listing is published.
Spam protection
The form stops most spam without a CAPTCHA: a hidden field that only bots fill in, a minimum time before submitting, a signed form token that still works when your pages are cached, and a limit of five submissions an hour from the same connection.
