Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GuestDock — Guest Post Management, Contributor Sandbox, Editorial Workflow & Content Security

No. GuestDock uses deep hooks into the WordPress query engine (pre_get_posts, ajax_query_attachments_args, rest_attachment_query) to ensure guests can only see and manage their own content and media uploads. Complete isolation is enforced at the database query level, covering admin, REST API, and AJAX requests.

The guest will be automatically blocked from logging in and redirected away from the admin area. Their published posts remain on the site. If you delete the guest user, their content is safely reassigned to a designated administrator.

Yes. GuestDock is fully optimized for the WordPress block editor. Guest users have access to all Gutenberg blocks except Custom HTML, Shortcode, and Code blocks (which are denied for security). This is customizable via the guestdock_denied_block_types filter. GuestDock also provides a Smart Submission Checklist sidebar panel and an SEO Pre-Check panel directly in the editor.

Yes. You can lock guest users to one or more admin-approved categories. Guests will only see those categories when creating posts, keeping your site's content organization clean.

When you click "Send Feedback & Return to Draft," the guest receives an automatic email notification with your feedback notes. They also see the feedback prominently on their Guest Dashboard and within the post editor.

It's a Gutenberg sidebar panel that shows a live-updating visual checklist of content requirements (word count, featured image, excerpt, external links). It replaces the old notice-based approach with a modern, always-visible, color-coded interface.

Yes. Admins can create reusable post templates (e.g., "Product Review", "How-To Guide") from the Templates tab. When guests click "Add New Post," a template selector modal lets them choose a pre-built structure or start blank.

Yes. The Analytics tab shows per-guest metrics including posts submitted, posts published, approval rate, and average word count. You can also export all data as a CSV file.

Yes. GuestDock provides a REST API and webhook system. Configure a webhook URL in Settings to receive JSON notifications on guest invitations, post submissions, and post approvals. Compatible with Zapier, Make, Slack, and any HTTP endpoint.

GuestDock is designed for single-site WordPress installations. On multisite it works per site, and uninstalling cleans up every site.
