This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Front-end Editor

विवरण

Front-end Editor is a plugin that lets you make changes to your content directly from your site. No need to load the admin backend just to correct a typo.

It makes the same capability checks, so that if a user isn’t allowed to edit something in wp-admin, they aren’t allowed to edit it in the front-end either.

You can edit posts, pages, custom post types, comments, widgets and many more elements.

Goals:

  • save as many trips to the backend as possible
  • compatible with any theme, out of the box
  • light and fast

Support and development:

Support is handled by the lovely designsimply.

I am not developing the plugin anymore; only applying the patches that other people send via Github.

सामान्य प्रश्न

Error on activation: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected…”

Make sure your host is running PHP 5. The only foolproof way to do this is to add this line to wp-config.php (after the opening <?php tag):

var_dump(PHP_VERSION);

I can’t see the edit buttons
  1. Make sure you’re logged in and have the appropriate capabilities.
  2. See Common Mistakes in Themes.
  3. Check for JavaScript errors.
Can you change the wysiwyg editor to TinyMCE?

No, because TinyMCE is anything but tiny and would take a long time to load.

Also because I couldn’t get it to work.

Does it work with WP Super Cache?

To avoid problems with WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache, I recommend disabling caching for logged-in users.

It’s a shame it doesn’t work anymore in the latest Wordpress. It was the best inline wordpress editor – no fuss, not heavy, very clean UI. Please update it!
