Front-end Editor

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
