EditorX
v2.0.0 · by Jakaria Istauk
Edit post titles and excerpts directly from the front end of your site.
About this plugin
EditorX lets you fix a typo without leaving the page. Switch inline editing on
with the floating button, click any title or excerpt, type, and click away —
the change is saved.
What you can edit
- Post titles
- Post excerpts
Post content is not editable inline. Rendered content is the output of shortcodes
and other plugins’ filters, so saving it back would overwrite your stored post
with rendered markup. Doing it properly needs a full editor, which is outside
what this plugin sets out to do.
Built for safety
- Every save is authorised against your capability for that specific post.
- Editing is off until you switch it on, per user.
- Content is sanitised on the server with WordPress’s own functions.
- Editable markup is never sent to visitors who cannot edit it.
Keyboard
- Enter commits a single-line field.
- Escape reverts your change.
- Fields are reachable by tab and announced to screen readers.
