Settings Submission - admin UI screenshot (1.0.5)

Frontend Submissions

Toggle whether users can submit listings from the frontend. When disabled, only admins can create listings.

Account Required (since 1.3.0)

Submitting a listing requires a logged-in account. Visitors who are not signed in see a sign-in prompt on the submission form, with a link to register when registration is open on your site.

The previous Require Login toggle and anonymous guest submission (with its email-verification step) were removed in 1.3.0: guests could never upload media, so that flow always dead-ended.

Submission Form Style (since 1.2.0)

Choose how the submission form presents to users:

  • Step-by-step wizard (default) - one step per screen with a progress indicator. Best for most directories: keeps the form from looking overwhelming, and the draft-reminder email links users back to the exact step where they left off.
  • Single page form - all fields on one scrollable page. Useful when your listing type has very few fields and the multi-step wrapper would feel excessive.

This setting applies site-wide. If you have placed the Listing Submission block on a page and want that specific instance to use a different style, set the Layout mode attribute in the block editor to override the global setting.

Developers can also override the resolved value programmatically:

add_filter( 'wb_listora_submission_layout_mode', function ( $mode ) {
    return 'single_form'; // or 'wizard'
} );

Moderation Mode

  • Auto-publish: Submitted listings are published immediately
  • Manual review: Listings are saved as "Pending" and require admin approval
  • Trusted users: Auto-publish for users with 3+ approved listings, manual for others

Allowed Listing Types

Select which listing types accept frontend submissions. Unchecked types can only be created by admins.

Image Settings

  • Maximum gallery images: Limit the number of images per listing (default: 10)
  • Maximum file size: Per-image upload limit in MB
  • Allowed formats: JPG, PNG, WebP

Listing Expiration

  • Days until expiration: Number of days before a listing expires (0 = never)
  • Expiration warning: Days before expiration to send a warning email
  • Auto-renewal: Allow listing owners to renew from their dashboard

Edit Approval

When enabled, edits to published listings require re-approval before going live.
