Agentic AI puts an AI agent inside your WordPress site. Navigate to `/frontman`, describe what you want to change, and the agent handles the supported workflow — posts, pages, blocks, menus, templates, site settings, and more. No code editor. No terminal. Just a chat interface alongside a live view of your site. **What the agent can do:** * Create, edit, and delete posts and pages * Insert, update, and rearrange Gutenberg blocks * Edit Elementor pages with complete Elementor support and versioning * Update navigation menus and menu items * Read and change site options (title, tagline, permalinks, etc.) * Browse block templates and template parts * Search and read files across your WordPress installation Frontman supports WordPress content workflows across Gutenberg, templates, menus, site options, and Elementor pages. **Who it’s for:** Developers who want faster iteration. Designers and content editors who want to make changes without opening an IDE. Anyone managing a WordPress site who’d rather describe what they want than dig through admin screens. **Open source:** The Frontman WordPress plugin is open source under GPLv2 or later. The code is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/frontman-ai/frontman). **Early release — help us improve it:** This is an experimental release. It works, but it hasn’t been tested across every theme, page builder, and hosting setup. We’re looking for users to try it and share feedback.

This serves the JavaScript and CSS that power the in-browser UI. * Service URL: [https://app.frontman.sh](https://app.frontman.sh) * Provider: Frontman AI * Privacy Policy: [https://frontman.sh/terms](https://frontman.sh/terms) **Frontman API (api.frontman.sh)** The plugin connects via WebSocket to `wss:// api.frontman.sh` for AI agent communication — sending tool results and receiving agent responses. Your site content is sent to this service when the agent processes requests. * Service URL: [https://api.frontman.sh](https://api.frontman.sh) * Provider: Frontman AI * Privacy Policy: [https://frontman.sh/terms](https://frontman.sh/terms) **AI Model Providers** The Frontman API routes requests to third-party AI model providers (such as Anthropic and OpenAI) to generate responses. Content from your site may be included in prompts sent to these providers. Loading the Frontman UI requests hosted client assets. Your site content is not sent to the Frontman API or model providers until you actively use the chat interface and submit a message. ## Screenshots * [[ * Frontman understands the requested content change and prepares the edit from chat. * [[ * Frontman runs beside a live WordPress page preview while you describe changes. * [[ * Frontman highlights the selected product card directly on the site. * [[ * Select mode lets you click page elements to target edits visually. ## Installation 1. Download the Frontman plugin release ZIP or upload the `frontman-agentic-ai-editor` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu 3. Navigate to `/frontman` on your site (you must be logged in as an admin) 4. Use Frontman – WordPress tools, file inspection, and Elementor editing now run directly inside the plugin ## FAQ ### Do I need another server? No. Frontman now runs the WordPress tools, file inspection tools, and Elementor editing tools directly in PHP inside the plugin. ### Is it safe? Only WordPress administrators (`manage_options` capability) can access Frontman. All inputs are sanitized. Options are restricted to a safe allowlist. ### Can I use this in production? Technically, yes — unlike the JavaScript framework integrations, the WordPress plugin can run on a live site. But this is experimental software. We recommend starting on a staging site, keeping backups, and reviewing changes carefully. ### Which themes work? Frontman’s content, menu, widget, option, Elementor, and inspection tools work across WordPress themes. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Frontman – Agentic AI Editor” is open source software.
