TGEI Semi Headless

TGEI Semi Headless can fully or partially disable the frontend of Wordpress for headless Wordpress sites. What a Semi Headless Wordpress Site? In a typical headless Wordpress setup, the entire frontend is disabled. All requests to the frontend are automatically redirected to another page. All features of the website are re-implemented in the framework of the headless website. Instead of re-implementing all features of a headless website, a semi headless Wordpress setup disables most of the frontend leaving only designated posts and/or pages accessible. These posts/pages enable the reuse of built-in Wordpress features or features of installed plugins. Semi Headless Examples Online Store You install an e-commerce plugin to turn your wordpress into an online store. However, you may want to display your products in such a way that it does not fit well with the Wordpress templating engine, so you decide to go headless with your own templating engine. But you don't want to reimplement every feature of the store such as cart management and checkout, so you use TGEI Semi Headless to disable all frontend pages except the cart and checkout pages. Blog You have a travel blog where you make frequent posts about your trips. You use an image gallery plugin to manage the various image galleries of your trips. You decide to go headless to speed up your website. However, you don't want to use another image gallery plugin, so you use TGEI Semi Headless to disable all the frontend pages except the image gallery pages.
