The Pro version is an absolute must-have for anyone creating sites for clients! Bargain for the price and the features it gives! Makes life so much easier for the client and reduces support queries for you! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/828be194b158eb9650a707521cfa24aab77b0c5c9962d1fed9fd3bc4d8b6f006? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Operating websites from the front-end backward](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/operating-websites-from-the-front-end-backward/)󠁿 [nealumphred](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nealumphred/) February 25, 2020 3 replies I like the idea of operating my sites from the front-end backward and WP Swift Control makes that possible. Easy-to-use plugin that is easy to understand (I never use the word “intuitive”) and implement. And plugin support was very cooperative and very helpful! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/22d44f270d72623841dcffffd72ddc35ce2395865a4e36fe6be3078dac816e55? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect for a simpler life](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-for-a-simpler-life/)󠁿 [Hugues](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hugaud/) February 20, 2020 This is a great plugin which keeps getting better. the pro version is well worth buying for the extended level of control. If you’re running sites for clients and want to give users a simple means of accessing some key admin functions or even page-builder aware direct way to edit page / post / cpt content then you should check it out. I found a great use for it for example: add a simple 3 button floating sidebar to enable logged in subscribers to a membership site to have immediate front end access to their members home page, their account page and one click logout… Love it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2a3e8938f57d14ccac8e66606addb447a6df2e8ba9defca9e6920fd40614f2cc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[So simple and helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/so-simple-and-helpful/)󠁿 [simonclay](https://profiles.wordpress.org/simonclay/) February 4, 2020 This fantastic plugin make is so much less complicated for my clients to browse and edit their sites. I highly recommend the Pro version, worth every penny. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/925ec5d20b8bf6b6b42c36514ab5bd2d698ac096eebb5dbef2208590820796c2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect for me and my clients!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-for-me-and-my-clients/)󠁿 [ncfan2030](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ncfan2030/) December 23, 2019 This plugin is great because it allows me to quickly access the areas of the website that I need to get to. No more searching through the admin bar to find what I need. A no-brainer to install on all of my websites :).
