Frontman puts an AI agent beside a live view of your site. Open <code>/frontman</code>, describe the change you want, and the agent takes action with built-in tools while you review the result in context.
Frontman is closer to an editor than a chatbot or content generator. It is built for real editing tasks: updating content, changing blocks, adjusting Elementor pages, managing menus, inspecting templates, changing safe site options, and working with WooCommerce data when WooCommerce is active.
No code editor. No terminal. Just an AI agent workflow alongside a live page preview.
What the agent can do:
<ul>
<li>Create, edit, and delete posts and pages</li>
<li>Insert, update, and rearrange Gutenberg blocks</li>
<li>Edit Elementor pages with Elementor-aware tools and versioning</li>
<li>Manage WooCommerce products, orders, customers, coupons, shipping, taxes, reports, settings, and store data when WooCommerce is active</li>
<li>Update navigation menus and menu items</li>
<li>Read and change safe site options such as title, tagline, permalinks, and homepage settings</li>
<li>Inspect and update Additional CSS for the active theme</li>
<li>Browse block templates, template parts, widgets, and theme settings</li>
</ul>
The important part is the feedback loop. The AI agent can change the site, then you can see the result in the same workflow instead of jumping between admin screens and browser tabs.
Who it’s for:
Developers who want faster iteration. Designers and content editors who want to make changes without opening an IDE. Store owners and site managers who would rather describe the task than dig through admin screens.
Open source:
The Frontman plugin is open source under GPLv2 or later. The code is available on <a href="https://github.com/frontman-ai/frontman" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.
Early release – help us improve it:
This is an experimental release. It works, but it hasn’t been tested across every theme, page builder, and hosting setup. We’re looking for users to try it and share feedback. <a href="https://github.com/frontman-ai/frontman/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Open an issue</a> or join the conversation on GitHub.
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services provided by Frontman AI:
Frontman Client (app.frontman.sh) 
The chat interface is loaded from <code>https://app.frontman.sh</code>. This serves the JavaScript and CSS that power the in-browser UI.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <a href="https://app.frontman.sh" rel="nofollow ugc">https://app.frontman.sh</a></li>
<li>Provider: Frontman AI</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://frontman.sh/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://frontman.sh/terms</a></li>
</ul>
Frontman API (api.frontman.sh) 
The plugin connects via WebSocket to <code>wss://api.frontman.sh</code> for AI agent communication, sending tool results and receiving agent responses. Your site content and, when you use WooCommerce tools, store data such as products, orders, customers, coupons, reports, and settings are sent to this service when the agent processes requests.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <a href="https://api.frontman.sh" rel="nofollow ugc">https://api.frontman.sh</a></li>
<li>Provider: Frontman AI</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://frontman.sh/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://frontman.sh/terms</a></li>
</ul>
AI Model Providers 
The Frontman API routes requests to third-party AI model providers (such as Anthropic and OpenAI) to generate responses. Content from your site may be included in prompts sent to these providers.
Loading the Frontman UI requests hosted client assets. Your site content is not sent to the Frontman API or model providers until you actively use the chat interface and submit a message.

AI agent that edits posts, blocks, Elementor pages, WooCommerce data, menus, templates, and site options beside a live preview.

Here are the plugin features:
WordPress Updates
WordPress has a major release three times per year, each time with a risk of breaking the way your website works. This plugin removes most of the messages to update (button from dashboard, the admin footer link and admin notice), while adding more information about versions to the updates page. You will see which version you are running and which versions which are available to you and given a choice about your updates.
WordPress also automatically updates your website to the latest minor release. We like that, but these updates can cause issues as well. That’s why BusinessPress delays the updates for 5 days.
This plugin also allows you to prevent your client from installing new plugins (many of which could either cripple or slow their website) while allowing clients to safely take care of existing plugin updates themselves.
<h3>You can disable the following capabilities for other admin users</h3>
<ul>
<li>Activate and deactivate plugins and themes</li>
<li>Update plugins and themes</li>
<li>Update WordPress core</li>
<li>Install, Edit and delete plugns and themes</li>
</ul>
Unnecessary WordPress features
Plugin by default disables the generator tag, REST API and Emojis to keep your site secure and fast. However you can enable these features back on if you prefer, just like the XML-RPC or oEmbed.
Login Logo
You can set your login logo and wp-admin color.
Admin Notices
Plugin by default moves the admin notices into Dashboard -> Notices screen where you can dismiss each notice. More and more plugins show their notices (some more important, some less) so BusinessPress cleans that up to keep you focused.
Login Protection
Plugin also supports fail2ban, see install instructions.
Login Lockout makes sure any user account that gets repeated bad login attempts (even from different IP addresses) gets locked down to ensure the password does not get guessed. User then gets an “Failed login attempts detected” email letting him unlock the account and reminding him to use a strong password.
Tweaks
<ul>
<li>Enable Google style results – Gives you similar layout and keyword highlight.</li>
<li>Enable Link Manager – Legacy feature of WordPress, hidden since version 3.5.</li>
<li>Enhance wp-admin Dropdowns – Makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly, including search functionality.</li>
<li>Login redirection – After you log in you will be redirected back to the page where you clicked wp-login.php link, unless there was a custom redirect_to parameter. Uses HTTP referer.</li>
<li>Set Featured Images Automatically – First image in the post becomes the featured image on save.</li>
<li>WordPress core hotfix – are you getting error like “Unable to create directory ../images/2019/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” Since October 2019 WordPress doesn’t support ../ in the upload path. So we translate that path to absolute path and check if it’s in the site webroot and then let it pass</li>
<li>Disables the “Password Changed” admin email notifications when a Subscriber level user changes email address</li>
<li>Alphabetically sorting the wp-admin -> Settings menu, making it much easier to find any settings screen!</li>
<li>Hide Password Protected Posts – Password protected posts won’t show up anywhere unless you have the direct link or your are the admin or editor.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Search Speed – Speed up the search by only searching the billing email address and not shipping nor billing address.</li>
<li>Yearly dropdowns for posts filtering – If the standard list of months in wp-admin -> Posts or WooCommerce Orders and Subscriptions is going to show more than 10 months, the years will show instead. Will show only “Last 12 months” by default.</li>
</ul>

BusinessPress

There are too many upgrades of WordPress (2 per year) and plugins. When it just works as expected, I am always worried if something will break my site. The pace is too much and too fast to follow. It is very stressful for a webdeveloper, especially when you manage several websites. This plugin removes the admin notifications, consequently, clients will not be tempted to click the update button and break something. It does this without sacrificing the automatic security WordPress updates.
We do the updates when we decide to do them. It removes a strong distraction (the number in the red badge is always encouraging to click on it) than can generate troubles.

As long as there is no standard way to separate security and bugfix updates that are always welcome, from upgrades that add new features (and may potentially break something), this plugin is doing a good job.

There are other tweaks regarding overall security and performance but I don't care about them since other plugins offer the same with more controls.

This plugin is an answer to a growing concern from webdeveloppers

BusinessPress lets you control the WordPress core updates and plugin installing/editing/upgrading to prevent issues with your business websites.
