# Submit links as posts

 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to allow users to submit links as posts from the frontend.
 * I’ve already tried WP-User-Frontend to achieve register, login and submit pages.
   I’ve created a new form with 2 fields: title and url. The url field is linked
   to a custom text field.
 * What I need to do is to get the title, description and thumbnail of all these
   external links and display them in the post with a “visit link” to read more.
 * How can I achieve that? Do I have to edit php files themselves? Is there a plugin
   that allows me to do this?
 * Thank you for your help.
