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.
