"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS..." Help!

Make sure your host is running PHP 5. Add this line to wp-config.php to check:

var_dump(PHP_VERSION);

I double click on a field and nothing happens. Why?

Probably because the javascript is not loaded. Make sure your theme has wp_footer() somewhere in footer.php

If I use this plugin, won't everybody be able to edit my content?

No. To edit a field, a user must be logged in and have the right permissions. For example, to edit the post content from the front-end, a user must be able to edit the post content from the regular back-end editor.

How can I change the hover color?

You can add this line to style.css in your theme directory:

.front-ed:hover, .front-ed:hover * {background-color: mycolor !important}

where mycolor is one of these values: CSS colors.

How can I edit custom fields?

Since custom fields can be used in so many ways, you have to make some code replacements in your theme:

Replace something like this:

echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_key', true);

with this:

editable_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'my_key', 'textarea');

The third parameter is optional and allows you to pick which type of field you want: input, textarea or rich.

Can I make my own editable fields?

Yes, but you have to know your way around WordPress' internals. Here is the developer guide to get you started.

How can I mark the fields as editable?

The easiest way is with CSS. You can use the .front-ed selector to style all editable fields on a page.

Title attributes

In some themes, links get weird title atributes. If this messes up your theme, just disable "The title" field.
