## Description
SiteHome is an app for website owners: change texts and photos from your phone,
review the exact changes, and publish. SiteHome works with WordPress through the
WordPress REST API, signed in with an application password of your own WordPress
user (Editor role or higher), so your users, roles and rights stay as they are.
This plugin adds what the REST API does not have: a revision check. When SiteHome
publishes, it says which version of the item it reviewed. If someone changed the
item in the meantime, WordPress refuses SiteHome’s update and SiteHome asks you
to review again. Updates from the block editor or other apps are not affected.
The plugin:
* refuses an update from SiteHome when the item changed after it was reviewed;
* adds read-only `sitehome_revision` and `sitehome_builder` fields to items in
the REST API (only for users who may edit them), so SiteHome can keep builder-
native layouts (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Bricks) closed
while editing supported WordPress body blocks separately;
* with Advanced Custom Fields active, adds a `sitehome_fields` field to items in
the REST API (only for users who may edit them) with the item’s ACF fields of
common types, and saves SiteHome’s values for them after checking each one; fields
with a condition, a read-only setting or a check of the website’s own stay closed;
* adds `GET /wp-json/sitehome/v1/fields/` with the ACF fields a new
item gets (only for users who may create that post type);
* adds `GET /wp-json/sitehome/v1/status`, so SiteHome can see the plugin is active;
* on hosts that drop the Authorization header, reads the same application password
from SiteHome’s own `X-SiteHome-Authorization` header, so WordPress checks it
as usual;
* adds Settings SiteHome with the steps to connect your website.
It adds no tables, changes no content and sends nothing anywhere. Every change SiteHome
makes is a normal WordPress update, with a revision you can restore.
#### External service
The plugin itself makes no outgoing requests. It is meant for use with the SiteHome
app (https://getsitehome.com), which connects to your website’s REST API when you
connect it there yourself, with an application password you create. SiteHome then
reads the content you choose and writes the changes you review and publish in the
app. See the SiteHome privacy policy (https://getsitehome.com/en/privacy).

## Installation
1. Install and activate the plugin under Plugins Add Plugin.
2. Under Users Profile Application Passwords, create a password named “SiteHome”
for a user with the Editor role.
3. Under Settings SiteHome, click “Connect with SiteHome”. Sign in to SiteHome; your
website address is filled in. Enter your WordPress username and application password,
choose your content and confirm. Publishing starts switched off.
## FAQ
### Does SiteHome need an administrator account?
No. A user with the Editor role is enough. SiteHome can do what that user can do,
and nothing more.
### How do I disconnect SiteHome?
Revoke the application password under Users Profile. SiteHome then can no longer
read or change the website.
### WordPress says my application password is wrong, but it is right.
Some hosts drop the Authorization header before WordPress sees it. This plugin reads
SiteHome’s credentials from SiteHome’s own header instead, so the connection works
anyway.
### My security plugin blocks the REST API.
SiteHome needs the REST API and application passwords. Allow both for the SiteHome
user in your security plugin, or ask your host.
