• Hi,

    I would like to make a Community blog where ideally anonymous users and unregistered visitors should be able to post blogs. Is this possible on Word Press? Can I set permission for anonymous users to post?

    thanks for the help,
    Sooraj.

    hello? Can somebody help me here? I would like anonymous visitors to the blog make blog posts itself – how do I give them the permission to do that?

    You could create a user and password for Anonymous and then post them, so people could log in with them?

    Create a user, say “guest”, with a level that allows posting, and make the login and password for it public. Other than that you’d have to start hacking up the code to remove all the user level permissions for accessing the appropriate admin pages and for submitting posts. In either case it’s not something recommended, considering what security and other issues you’ll be opening yourself up to.

    OK, so in short it can’t be done now. Thanks for the suggestions though.

    just an update on this topic, almost a year later. for wordpress 2.0, does anybody know if there any plugins to allow any visitor to the site “save post” (but not publish it, for moderation purposes)

    on a page similar to what you would see on a contact email form?
    i.e
    <Space for Post title>
    <space for post content>
    <send button>

    essentially its like anonymous authors, but without having to create a low level user account for the public.

    its exactly like what is requested here
