Description
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

- Upload the
jamies-front-end-editor-for-content-teamsfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install through the Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
