It is the bridge between a Faust.js™ powered front-end application, and a WordPress backend. The plugin also provides useful options for headless sites, such as the ability to: * Hide “theme” admin pages. * Redirect public route requests to the front-end application. * Rewrite WordPress URLs to front-end URLs in queried content. ## Screenshots * [[ * The settings page * [[ * Portfolio, blog, and basic blueprints for headless sites built with Faust.js * [[ * A code snippet ## Installation 1. Search for the plugin in WordPress under “Plugins -> Add New”. 2. Click the “Install Now” button, followed by “Activate”. That’s it! For more information on getting started with headless WordPress, see [Getting Started with Faust.js](https://faustjs.org/docs/tutorial/dev-env-setup). ## FAQ ### If I need more support, where should I ask questions?

In the same way the printing press democratized the spread of information, the mission of Faust.js is to support and further the vision of WordPress to democratize publishing on the web. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5226e4de8a48fc824c0dd2e0d99375e9c599a3cadb04ba4e5eee4d4c36e3665? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-8448/)󠁿 [volanar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/volanar/) April 6, 2024 Wery good ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7858ff8cd1607f1cb50f2bd9340e1053df0b7e5e10f2531b59fe8db402e343c6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very helpful for static projects](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-helpful-for-static-projects/)󠁿 [kythonlk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kythonlk/) September 1, 2023 It’s smoothly working with next and WordPress waiting for woocomerce headless came to this is greate ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d3ce3724bbea82776c765d0bc3e026fb22093f460cdfd800be3e84a3b1523a04? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[simple amazing !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-amazing-7/)󠁿 [stixtsr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stixtsr/) August 19, 2023 good way to start headles wp !cant wait for more ! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/92ddb06e9508865dd34a2ac7b4682e6b265740728fe33a58e35d772cc9d108a1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Comprehensive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comprehensive-39/)󠁿 [Teresa Gobble](https://profiles.wordpress.org/teresagobble/) July 26, 2023 Reduces the complexity of building headless WordPress frontends for the web tenfold.
