Is there a way to require login before submitting a form on the frontend?

I found that the Members plugin allows me to wrap the metabox frontend shortcode in Members shortcode.

https://members-plugin.com/

I used one for logged in users and another for logged out users to display different content.
```
[members_logged_in]
[mb_frontend_form id='drop-details' post_fields='title,thumbnail,content']
[/members_logged_in]
```
```
[members_not_logged_in]<p>You must login to add a Drop. </p>
[members_login_form /]
[/members_not_logged_in]
```

Hello,

Thanks for sharing your solution. Currently, there is no option to require a user login to view the frontend submission form. You can just output the shortcode in a condition to check the user login with WordPress function is_user_logged_in()
