Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Frontend View For Headless CMS is a plugin that seamlessly links your backend WordPress content, including posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, categories, and authors to your headless CMS frontend site. This ensures that any content in your WordPress backend are linked with your headless CMS frontend, therefore, you can easily visit the contents using visit links.

Features:

  • Set your headless frontend base URL in Frontend View Settings.
  • Optional redirect of public WordPress frontend requests (301) to your headless frontend URL, while leaving admin, REST API, GraphQL, feeds, sitemaps, and similar endpoints untouched.
  • Rewrite View links on post, page, CPT, taxonomy, and user list screens.
  • Optional custom preview path (for example /preview/post-slug/ ) for draft and preview links.
  • Map author archive paths to your frontend user segment.
  • Per-taxonomy and per–post-type slug overrides to match your frontend routes.
  • Empty slug option to remove taxonomy or CPT base segments from generated URLs (for flat routes like /my-post/ instead of /products/my-post/ ).
  • Frontend links in wp-admin open in a new tab for safer editing workflows.
  • Settings shortcut on the Plugins screen for quick access to configuration.
  • Redesigned settings page with slug mapping UI, quick guide, and helpful resources.

Works with any frontend that consumes WordPress via the REST API, GraphQL, or your own data layer—as long as your frontend URLs follow the paths you configure.
