## Description

WP FrontKit is a front end editor that enhances the WordPress publishing experience
by providing users access a new intuitive editor directly from the front end of 
their web site. The streamlined interface allows for a distraction free editing 
experience that integrates an array of tools that are available from the dashboard,
including access to the media library and image formatting.

#### Features

 * Ability to create new posts and update existing posts from the front end.
 * Easily style your content with the following:
    - Heading styles
    - Block quotes
    - Bold & Italic
    - List style
    - Linked text
 * Easily Add Media to your post from either the WordPress media library or by uploading
   images directly from your device
 * Enhance images by adding captions, or adding a link the image

The plugin utilizes the WordPress REST API, and therefore requires the [REST API plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/).

## Installation

 1. Install the [WP REST API plugin (Version 2)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/)
    plugin.
 2. Upload `frontkit` to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 4. View a post on your site and try editing it!

#### Custom theme integration

If you want your own theme to support front end editing with FrontKit, you just 
need to add theme support for `frontkit` and define the CSS paths to some elements
in the theme.

For example, place the following in your `functions.php` changing the CSS paths 
where necessary.:

    ```
    add_theme_support( 'frontkit', array(     'title'           => '.single-post .entry-title',     'content'         => '.single-post .post-content', ) ); 
    ```

## FAQ

#### What version of PHP does FrontKit require?

FrontKit works with 5.2.4+, though you should really be using [5.6+](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
🙂
