<p>Logged in users are redirected to the editor screen for the post, while non-logged in users must log in first. This means that you can share a readable link straight to the editor, depending on your permalink settings.</p>
<p>Good for task management or organisation resource management.</p>
<h3>What the plugin actually does</h3>
<p>In simple terms, the plugin removes the frontend of the WordPress site. Post permalinks go straight to the editor page, and the theme is mostly redundant.</p>
<h3>Why would I want to do that?</h3>
<p>This is definitely not a useful plugin for a public-facing website. Instead, this allows you to convert WordPress into a headless CMS for managing tasks, content and more, all protected by the standard user role system. You can share a post permalink with a collaborator and they will be directed straight to the editor screen.</p>
<p>Maybe you want to go a step further and create an external application to display your WordPress content elsewhere using the API. In this case you definitely don’t want the standard WP frontend accessible!</p>
