Providing a front end post solution for a BuddyPress social network is not simply a case of enabling a front-end editor. There are other considerations such as removing access to the WP back-end if that’s required. This plugin aims to help with both of these tasks by providing an editor that is closely integrated with BuddyPress and also providing options to better customize the overall look and feel of the users access to the site. So for example to can hide key elements of the WordPress Tool-bar, you can also disable any WordPress edit links that would traditionally go to the back-end. You can also deny users access to the backend altogether by redirecting to such requests to the home page.
This plugin is a fork of DJD Site Post, it’s been updated in order to work with BP Post Status to deliver a front end editing experience which offers site admin a great degree of control over the user editing experience. A large number of features can be customized. It supports Group. Members Only, Friends Only and Follow post statuses and you can choose to only allow pending submissions or to allow users to to publish immediately.
Some of the features include:
<ul>
<li>Front end posting from a page with the shortcode loaded [bp-site-post];</li>

Please note: This plugin is not compatible with Gutenberg edited posts; Though it’s possible to completely separate front end edited posts from those created in the back end.
