About this tool.
Front-end Editor is a plugin that lets you make changes to your content directly from your site. No need to load the admin backend just to correct a typo.
It makes the same capability checks, so that if a user isn’t allowed to edit something in wp-admin, they aren’t allowed to edit it in the front-end either.
You can edit posts, pages, custom post types, comments, widgets and many more elements .
Goals:
- save as many trips to the backend as possible
- compatible with any theme, out of the box
- light and fast
Support and development:
Support is handled by the lovely designsimply .
I am not developing the plugin anymore; only applying the patches that other people send via Github .
Credits:
- Aloha Editor for the fantastic WYSIWYG editing component

Frequently asked questions.
Error on activation: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected…”
Make sure your host is running PHP 5. The only foolproof way to do this is to add this line to wp-config.php (after the opening <?php tag):
var_dump(PHP_VERSION);
I can’t see the edit buttons
Make sure you’re logged in and have the appropriate capabilities. See Common Mistakes in Themes . Check for JavaScript errors .
Can you change the wysiwyg editor to TinyMCE?
No, because TinyMCE is anything but tiny and would take a long time to load.
