Front-end Editor for WordPress

I'm so happy to see someone continuing the journey of a viable front end editor for WordPress. I've used it while composing my last few posts and it behaved flawlessly. Cheers to the developers. It's fast, responsive, and a joy to use.

A fantastic tool for everyday blogging


This may have in part been abandoned in favor of Gutenberg, but I would like to politely beg that this be updated to work without having to install the old REST API plugin. And perhaps review the code and update anything else that needs a refresh.



I understand that many may not see a point. If you have to edit a post, edit it in the back-end. Or, there are a couple of other front-end editing options. But, I have a minimal website (all text) and I want members to be able to edit their plain text posts from the front-end. This works extremely well for that. I should add that I also use a minimal, non-full-site editing theme. I'm sure that helps as I assume this may not work with new block type themes.



Please, if the original author cannot due to other more important projects, could someone adopt this?


Simple, still works, hoping for update

<p>Frontpress enables user-friendly inline editing of posts.<br />
If you are webmaster your customers will appreciate this solution, they usually are afraid of back-end panel.</p>
<p>How to use:</p>
<ol>
<li>Logged users will notice new “Edit” button at the bottom of every post on your site</li>
<li>Click it to edit post title and content, [shortcodes] are marked with grey background and protected as read-only</li>
<li>Click “Update” button to save changes, or “Cancel” to discard them</li>
</ol>
<p>Important notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>This is beta version</li>
<li>Requires very modern browser</li>
</ul>


Frontpress

I really like how simple this plugin is. If you just want the do inline text editing from the front-end, this does it quite nicely. Looking forward to how this evolves. 
Feature Request: I hope adding images into the content will happen soon.



Simple and intuitive

This is in beta and therefore, I expect there to be some issues. But, this is the only front-end editing plugin that I've been able to find that works the way I would like front-end editing to work. It's minimal. I like that. I have a couple requests for the author.
First, keep it simple. If you decide to improve this plugin, in my opinion, don't worry about trying to make it super fancy.
Lastly, since the plugin automatically changes the div id of the post's title, in some themes, this messes up the title. At the very least I would explore using span instead of div so that titles don't end up on a new line. Also, instead of using id, use class since on some sites there might be multiple titles on one page.
I'm glad I found this. I don't know why it is so hard to find a good front-end editing plugin, that is minimal in design, and just works.
