Instead of switching to `wp-admin` and the block or Classic editor, eligible users can click“ Edit with FrontPilot” right on the page and start editing in place, with a clean floating toolbar, live preview, and one-click save or publish. **Key Features** * Edit every post and page item on the front end — not just a single item’s content, but every eligible post/page rendered on the current page (singular views, archives, home, and search listings). * A floating “Edit Mode” toggle switch turns inline editing on or off across the whole page at once. * Inline text editing with a clean floating toolbar. * Live preview while editing. * Drag & drop content blocks. * Edit images and media through the native WordPress media library. * Responsive editing preview (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile). * Undo & Redo history. * Save Draft or Publish instantly. * Role-based access control. * Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+Z undo, Ctrl+Y redo). * Lightweight, no jQuery dependency. * Works alongside Classic Editor and Gutenberg. * Compatible with most WordPress themes. * Fully translation-ready. * Built with security in mind: nonce verification, capability checks, and complete sanitization/escaping. **Admin Settings** * A modern, tabbed settings dashboard with toggle switches and chip selectors — no cluttered checkbox tables. * Enable or disable the front-end editor globally. * Choose which post types are editable. * Choose which user roles may use the editor. * Choose whether every item on a page is editable, or only a single queried item. * Choose whether the Edit Mode toggle starts on or off. * Customize the floating toolbar buttons. * Configure keyboard shortcuts. * Reset all settings to their defaults with one click. **Developer Friendly** FrontPilot is built with namespaced, PSR-4 autoloaded, object-oriented PHP, follows the WordPress Coding Standards, and exposes both a REST API and an admin-ajax fallback for saving content. ### 🔥 WHAT’S NEXT?

Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **Settings FrontPilot** to choose editable post types, allowed roles, and toolbar options. 4. Visit any eligible page on the front end while logged in and click **Edit with FrontPilot** in the admin bar. ## FAQ ### Does this replace the block editor? No. FrontPilot is a lightweight, complementary way to make quick edits directly from the front end. The block editor and Classic Editor continue to work as normal in `wp-admin`. ### Who can use the front-end editor? Only logged-in users whose role is allowed in **Settings FrontPilot**, and who already have WordPress’s own `edit_post` capability for that specific item. ### Does FrontPilot load scripts on every page? No. Front-end assets are only enqueued when the current user is eligible to edit the currently viewed post or page. ### Is FrontPilot translation-ready? Yes. All strings are wrapped for translation and a `.pot` template is included in the `/languages` folder. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “FrontPilot – Front-End Editor” is open source software.
