EndPointy Menus

Expose WordPress menus via a custom REST API endpoint for headless and external applications.

Headless mode sets up a redirect for all users trying to access the site. The only requests that are granted admission are ones that are either trying to access the REST API, the WP GraphQL API, or any logged-in user looking to access the headless install to edit or create posts.

Headless Mode

This tiny plugin works exactly as intended. 

Simple to set up and works great!

Once you take the head off of WordPress, nobody needs to see it. This plugin hides the front end by redirecting to the shiny static (etc) site.
