I believe that most of you have experienced that soon after you published a post on your WordPress blog, you found a typo or you needed to add or change some words on that blog post. This happened to me many times although I have checked for typo several times before published a post. So every time when this happened, you need to go back to the admin back-end of your blog and re-edit that particular post. For you and me, this is tedious job and I hate doing it very much!
How good it is if we can just edit our post content in real time, directly from the front-end? Can this be done? Well, of course can! Front-end Editor is a WordPress plugin that allows you to make changes to your blog content directly from your website or blog using AJAX. So you are no longer need to load the admin back-end just to correct a tiny typo.
To use Front-end Editor, just double click the post or title area and inline WYSIWYG text editor will appear where you can edit the post directly without going into the admin panel.
The area where you can edit directly from your blog, or the editable fields are :
- posts & pages : title, content, excerpt, tags, custom taxonomies, custom fields
- comments : content
- authors : description
- text widgets : title, content
The above fields are editable by default. If you want to disable any of the editable fields, you can go to settings page to disable it.
Front-end Editor is compatible with any theme and PHP5 is required for this plugin to work.
