(Original Proposal Article)

THIS PLUGIN IS AN ALPHA RELEASE. USE AT OWN RISK AND TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER (or contribute on GitHub).

Front end (or “inline”) editing sounds great until you try to apply it to large complex CMS sites. Rather than try to keep users out of the admin because they can’t understand it, why not build an editing system that teaches them how to use it?

This plugin is designed to work best in conjunction with MP6 or WP3.8+ and one of the tested themes below.

Editable Items Supported

  • Menus (wp_nav_menu)
  • Widgets (dynamic_sidebar)
  • Site Description (“Tagline”, get_bloginfo)
  • Body Content (the_content)
  • Featured Image (aka Post Thumbnail, the_post_thubnail)
  • Excerpt (the_excerpt)
  • Tags (the_tags)
  • Categories (the_category)

Info Bar Information

  • Page Type (aka Post Type, Archive, Page for Posts, 404, Search Results, etc.)
  • Page Template (when appropriate)
  • Page Parent
  • Post Format
  • Post Type Archive Post Type
  • Page on Front and Page for Posts settings
  • Last Modified / Published Datetime
  • Taxonomy Term Archive Term (Tag, Category, custom, Post Format)
  • Posts Per Page

Tested Browsers

  • Chrome

Screenshots

  • This plugin creates a new "Toggle Edit Mode" button in the Admin Bar. Click it to learn about the web page you're viewing and enable clickable, editable elements.
  • Once clicked on the front end, the clicked element is highlighted. (Widgets are especially pretty.)
