Jamie's Front-End Editor for Content Teams

Descripció

Jamie’s Front-End Editor for Content Teams lets your team edit page and post content directly from the front end of your WordPress site. No need to open the block editor — just click any text and start typing.

Built on the WordPress Interactivity API with no build step required.

Features:

  • Click any paragraph or heading to edit it inline, right on the live page
  • Block markup is fully preserved on save
  • Edits are recorded as native WordPress block notes, so there’s an audit trail
  • Admin settings to choose which block types are editable
  • Option to restrict chosen roles to front-end-only editing (no wp-admin access)
  • Secure — only users with edit permissions see the editing UI

Instal·lació

  1. Upload the jamies-front-end-editor-for-content-teams folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install through the Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
  3. Go to Settings > Front-End Editor to configure editable blocks and restricted roles.

PMF

Does this work with any theme?

Yes. The plugin uses the render_block filter and works with any block theme.

Does it preserve block markup?

Yes. Edits are saved per-block via a custom REST endpoint that parses and serializes blocks server-side.

What blocks can be edited?

By default, paragraphs and headings. You can configure this in Settings > Front-End Editor.

Who can edit content on the front end?

Only logged-in users who already have permission to edit the post. The editing UI is never shown to visitors.

Great idea, thank you so much! It works very well with Metabox custom post types as well as with regular WordPress posts. List items can also be edited. Depending on how a post was created, it may first need to be converted into blocks for the plugin to work.

I have only run a short test, and everything worked great in the Block (Gutenberg) Editor. I really like the idea that this could separate the «Design» of a site to an admin, the allow a restricted user level to work on the text giving a clear distinction of role. Great idea and will keep an eye out on where this develops.

This is a great simplification and safety measure when letting clients edit pages. Super easy. I hope it will get a few upgrades: support more blocks, support blocks of Gutenberg extensions (GenerateBlocks, e.g.), allow a bit of styling and linking. Thank you!

I use Enfold as the theme, and it does not work with that (as far as I can see), so I’ll be uninstalling it. Sounds like a great idea, but potentially limited if it can’t be used on premium themes.Willing to change my review if I’m wrong.
