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.
Good for task management or organisation resource management.
<h3>What the plugin actually does</h3>
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.
<h3>Why would I want to do that?</h3>
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.
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!

WP Headless

A lightweight plugin to disable the WP frontend experience.

Plugin provides a framework sets up WordPress as a headless CMS.
Framework options include:
<ul>
<li>JSON Web Token Authentication (optional)</li>
<li>Adds Gutenberg block data to REST responses (optional)</li>
<li>Protects REST requests with nonce (optional)</li>
<li>Cleans up REST response objects (optional)</li>
<li>Removes non required REST endpoints (optional)</li>
<li>Disables the frontend (optional)</li>
</ul>
All modules can be enabled/disabled or configured to suit most if not all WordPress as a headless CMS use cases.
Developing a single page React app but still want to use the WordPress theme based fronted.
Not a problem, maybe you just use these modules:
<ul>
<li>Adds Gutenberg block data to REST responses</li>
<li>Protects REST requests with nonce</li>
<li>Cleans up REST response objects</li>
<li>Removes non required REST endpoints</li>
</ul>
Developing a truly headless WordPress single page app or mobile app and just want WordPress for the backend?
Maybe use these modules:
<ul>
<li>JSON Web Token Authentication</li>
<li>Adds Gutenberg block data to REST responses</li>
<li>Protects REST requests with nonce</li>
<li>Cleans up REST response objects</li>
<li>Removes non required REST endpoints</li>
<li>Disable the WordPress frontend</li>
</ul>
You get the idea.
The plugin documentation is held inside the plugin ‘options’ page in the WordPress admin, although there are some docs for the custom rest endpoints:

Anyway if you are looking to use WordPress as a headless CMS on a React, React Native, Angular, iOS/Android native project. This plugin should go a long way to setting WordPress up as you need it.

WP Headless CMS Framework

I like your plugin! Keep on going with this one! :)
