A collaborative glossary plugin for WordPress.

Description

Collaborative Glossary Plugin allows users to collaboratively create and manage glossary terms. Each term is a post in a custom post type (CPT). Users can suggest improvements, relate terms, and add relevant links. Administrators can review and approve submissions.

Features

Custom Post Type: Glossary terms are stored as a custom post type (glossary_term).
Frontend Submission: Users can submit new glossary terms via a frontend form without accessing the WordPress dashboard.
Term Management: Admins can review and approve new terms and improvements suggested by users.
Related Terms and Links: Each term can have related terms and relevant links associated with it.
Security: Input sanitization and nonce verification for secure data handling.

Installation

Clone or download the repository into the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation.
```
git clone https://github.com/your-username/collaborative-glossary.git
```
Activate the plugin via the WordPress admin panel.
Create a new page in WordPress and assign the "Submit Glossary Term" template (template-submit-term.php) to allow users to submit new terms.

Usage

Submitting a Term: Navigate to the "Submit Glossary Term" page on your website. Fill out the form with the term title, definition, related terms (optional), and relevant links (optional). Click "Submit Term" to submit the term for admin approval.
Admin Approval: Admins can review submitted terms in the WordPress admin dashboard (glossary_term post type). Terms are initially set to "Pending" status and require admin approval before being published.
