Im creating a site for a charity, and a part of the functionality will be that authors can come in and submit articles through a form. I prefer making a post form for them rather than give them access to WP backend, as not all of them have a lot of competence.

I would, however, like them to be able to customize SEO optimalisation. Some plugins allow selection of an image, title, text and keywords - for social media sharing and also for google? Do you have any reccomodations for how to deal with this best in toolset/divi? 🙂

Kind Regards,

Andrea

Hi, Yoast SEO is the only SEO plugin I have experience with. Unfortunately it's not integrated into Forms - the Yoast SEO interface is all in wp-admin. So if you're trying to automate the integration of custom fields from Forms with Yoast SEO it will require a significant amount of programming experience with PHP. On the other hand if you are interested in some type of administrative approval workflow, you could capture the SEO information in the Form as custom fields, and set the post as a draft upon Form submission. Then the administrator could copy the information from the post custom fields into the Yoast fields in wp-admin, approve and publish the post. It wouldn't be an automatic process, but it could be an option in some circumstances.

Let me know if you have questions about either approach.
