Frontend editing for everyday WordPress updates
FrontEdit Pro is a paid edition of FrontEdit – Live Frontend Block Editor for teams, agencies, freelancers, and site owners who need a more focused way to manage existing Gutenberg content. Instead of sending users through wp-admin to find individual blocks, FrontEdit lets trusted users click supported content directly on the live page and edit it in context.
The workflow is designed for routine changes to headings, paragraphs, images, buttons, lists, tables, and other supported content. FrontEdit works with native Gutenberg blocks rather than replacing them or editing only rendered HTML. It updates supported block content and attributes while preserving the original block structure, styling, settings, and standard WordPress serialization.
Pro tools for collaborative editing
FrontEdit Pro adds workflows for teams that need more control over how changes are requested, reviewed, and published. Administrators can use the available paid features to organize content work across clients and team members instead of handling every small update as an individual support task.
- Pending drafts and approvals: manage proposed changes through a review workflow before they are treated as completed content updates.
- Per-user editing controls: choose which users can edit several blocks in one session and which users must work on one block at a time.
- Editing permissions: provide more controlled access for clients and other contributors.
- Content request ticketing: track and respond to user-submitted change requests.
- Content Catalog: review editable elements across the site from a centralized content management area.
- Block-level history and revert workflows: review earlier changes and use the available revert process when needed.
- Notifications and a central dashboard: support collaborative editorial operations by bringing open requests and pending drafts together.
A practical experience for teams and developers
Each block keeps its own active editing session and undo history, so users can move between blocks while preserving the state of edits in progress. Batch editing is included for users with editing access, while Pro lets an administrator decide which users may use that approach.
Developers can also build integrations with the Public JavaScript API. Plugins, custom tools, and AI assistants can discover editor capabilities and perform the same block editing operations used by FrontEdit. A schema-driven custom block handler system can extend front-end editing support to compatible custom Gutenberg blocks without modifying the plugin core.
Installation and setup
Install FrontEdit Pro on the WordPress site where supported Gutenberg content will be managed. After installation, review the available user permissions and editing controls, then decide how your team will use drafts, approvals, requests, history, and centralized content management. Developers extending the editor can consult the included runtime extension documentation for API methods, events, supported behavior, versioning information, and integration guidance.
Useful for client-managed sites
FrontEdit Pro suits agencies and freelancers that want to give clients content ownership without requiring extensive WordPress training. It also supports marketing teams that need a direct way to handle live-page updates while retaining structured Gutenberg content and more deliberate editorial oversight.
