BuddyForms Reviews
"BuddyForms has proven to be an invaluable plugin for our community. By allowing our community members to easily submit and edit content through a one simple form, content creation on our site has skyrocketed. Combined with the BuddyPress integration and the excellent support from the team at ThemeKraft, it’s the perfect solution for any site owner who’s interested in user submitted content."
"I was looking for a reliable plugin to help me with a online directory project, and BuddyForms exceeded my expectations. With so many lousy plugins out there that serve a single purpose, it was a true delight to use the Forms Builder to create a directory that anyone could submit content to, without much of my own interference in the process. If you're looking to build sites that rely on user submitted content, then this is the only plugin to choose to solve the mystery once and for all."
"BuddyForms solves a great problem in the BuddyPress world, to allow users to post any type of content from the front-end. Easy to use and extremely useful."
