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.

This plugin provides an extremely easy way to add elegant looking footnotes to 
your posts. The syntax is natural, simple to understand, and degrades 
gracefully if the plugin is removed. Footnotes are linked unobtrusively and the 
note itself links back to the original text where the footnote is referenced.
Adding footnotes to a post is simple. Just type them inline in your post in 
square brackets like this:
<pre><code> [1. This is a footnote.]
</code></pre>
Each footnote must have a number followed by a period and a space and then the 
actual footnote. They don’t have to be unique but it is recommended. It doesn’t 
matter what the numbers are since the footnotes will be automatically 
renumbered when the post is displayed.
Footnotes can contain anything you’d like including links, images, etc. 
Footnotes are automatically linked back to the spot in the text where the note 
was made.
<h4>Settings</h4>
Only show footnotes on single post/page: This option will hide 
footnotes on the main blog page. Footnote numbers will still appear 
but link to the individual post/page URL.
Collapse footnotes until clicked: When checked, footnotes are 
hidden until manually expanded or a footnote number is clicked.
Note: Do not include square brackets [] inside the footnotes themselves.
Note: Footnote numbers don’t need to be unique but it is recommended, 
especially if the text is identical for multiple footnotes. If you have 
multiple footnotes with the exact same text and number then you’ll get weird 
and incorrect footnotes on your post.
