Site visitor upload app

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am considering expanding my site and presenting a greater amount of material on it. I am wondering if there is an app or widget that would allow visitors to my site to upload content with a form? Any uploaded content would, of course, need to be reviewed before it posted to the page. Does anything like this exist?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Uploading files isn’t allowed as it poses a pretty substantial security threat and as all WordPress.com sites run on the same software it could cause problems for every user!

    If you have a limited number of people you want to be able to upload things to your site then you could get them to sign up for a WordPress.com account (not neccesarily their own blog though) although you’d also end up allowing them to make posts, which is not ideal – see the user roles which are available.

    An alternate approach would be to create a shared space on a file sharing service like Dropbox, Google Drive or SpiderOak.
