This version adds post meta editable fields. These are a little different from the others. To add a custom field editable meta, you have to add something like this inside The Loop in you WordPress theme:
<?php editable_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_key', 'textarea'); ?>
The first argument is the current post id, the second is the custom field key and the third is the type of field you want (input, textarea or rich).

Thanks for adding support for meta fields. Love your plugin.
You’re welcome
Thanks for Great plugin! I like it.
I Make Japanese translation file.

Hello, just installed the plugin, it’s fantastic
Only a little problem, I use accents in my text (french).. and the accented caracters show up weird, maybe some charset or utf8 problem.. don’t know exactly.. I tried with firefox and IE, same thing.
Here is a screenshot :
http://www.domsweb.org/test-front-end.gif
Does this happen only with the WYSIWYG editor or with all fields?
I’ve tried with the wysiwyg editor deactivated, same problem.. and then I tried to edit a title and write “testé” but it gives out “testé”…
I’ve sent you an email with a potential fix.
french info :
si tu le peux, modifie l’encodage des fichiers de ton thème en utf8 sans BOM, et change la déclaration dans le header si il y en a une (du type iso western latin ou autre, remplace par utf8).
There’s no need. Version 0.9.1 fixes this. The problem was with a HTTP header that wasn’t set properly.
Nice !
I see the latest bugfix took care of an issue with the Blackcurrent theme, but not completely:
When editing a post, the post content (in WYSIWYG) goes below the bottom of the sidebar.
This used to be the case also with editing the post subject, but the latest version 0.9.2 did seem to fix that for some reason. Email me if you want a screenshot to demonstrate what I am referring to. I tried to find this bug but I am not sure where the HTML stuff is hidden
It’s probably a CSS issue. Try adding this line in style.css:
.wysiwyg {float:right !important}
That is what I thought, it was a CSS issue. I added that bit you gave me to layout.css of the theme and that fixed it
since version 0.9 it’s not working for me with or without visual editor, I’m double click in posts or titles and nothing happens… and I not found the 0.8.4 version
It doesn’t work in any browser? Any errors?
In Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + J
PS: You can download version 0.8.4 from here.
Sorry, I have many plugins installed… may be a conflict with another plugin.
I test this in another blog with similar theme and work fine.
seeking plugin in conflict…
the conflict is the Multi-level Navigation Plugin
is rare because they worked well together, but now multilevel has an error…
I prefer this plugin then I look for another way to make the menu
You could try disabling the Post/page title editable field, since I think that’s what’s causing the problem.
no no, this plugin it’s all right.
I change the place of the wp_head() call in header.php and now all is working, (may be many calls to jquery.js)
sorry for “my” english… xD
If can I request a feature…
Edit with double click an excerpt and if the post haven’t one, add a new excerpt like excerpt field in the admin’s post edit.
Does that mean what I say?
OffTopic: the button “Reply” (here below) it’s an external plug-in?
Funny, I was actually thinking of making excerpts editable.
As for the “Reply”, see WordPress 2.7 Comments Enhancements.
awesome!
thank you very much
The excerpt editing does not work on IE 8
(sorry to give bad news)
Try this: In /inc/editor.css
replace
.front-editor-container {display: inline !important}with
.front-editor-container {display: block !important}and then refresh the browser cache.
When desactiving the excerpt plugin, the editor field shows up but no text in it. Maybe you could ask somebody else to make some test to see if it’s not a compatibility problem on my configuration.
The editor will be filled only if you have a manual excerpt already added to the post.
Ok ! Sorry for the wrong alert…
Excellent, very useful.
Some remarks on the edition of excerpts.
-If empty manual excerpt then load initially default post excerpt.
-No visual editor, delayed loading and it’s not useful for excerpts
you’ll see if posible
thank you for your work!!
I’m getting extra breaking spaces after I edit a post.
What info do you need for debugging this?
I’m using Fervens A theme. See this post, I left it just like after editing with FEE: http://another.intheuniverse.com.ar/2009/04/n-warp-daisakusen-new-snes-game/
Firstly, what version of WordPress and what browser?
Were you using the WYSIWYG editor or not?
Did you copy-paste it from Word or another program?
Did you edit it from Windows and then from Linux or something like that?
>> Firstly, what version of WordPress and what browser?
WordPress 2.7.1, Opera Browser 9.64.
>> Were you using the WYSIWYG editor or not?
Yes. Both in the plugin and in WordPress.
>> Did you copy-paste it from Word or another program?
Nope, I just edited the post with the double click functionality.
>> Did you edit it from Windows and then from Linux or something like that?
I don’t have Linux. Windows XP Pro w/SP3.
Ok, thanks for answering all the questions. It definetly has to do something with WordPress’s wpautop() function.
Try editing the post again and removing the spaces, as that seemed to fix the issue when I tested it.
I am very grateful with fe-e

Yesterday donate you a few dollars from the paypal account of my wife.
I recommend that everyone follow this example
enjoy
I received it. Thanks again
I installed the upgrade today and now the editor gives me an error and says it can’t be activated –
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /hermes/web05/b2199/gargiulo/camelclutchblog.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/front-end-editor/inc/scb/Options.php on line 4
I tried to delete and re-install and it still gave me errors. Could you please help?
You probably updated from version 0.7 or older. The later versions require PHP5. You can download older versions by going to Overview -> Other versions.
I run the Excerpt Editor plugin. It allows me to display, e.g., images in the excerpts. When I add an img src-tag, Front-end Editor 0.9.4 removes it, at least sometimes. Running WP 2.7.1 and FF3.0.8.
When exactly does it remove them:
- when double-clicking?
- after editing with FEE?
- for posts that have manual excerpts?
All my posts have manual excerpt or no excerpts.
When I tried to repeat it in order to answer your questions, I was unable to repeat it. Excerpt Editor sets WP to display the most recent post in full and all other at the front page with excerpt.
When I double-click on the excerpt – it makes no difference whether I double-click on the text or the image – FEE opens the editor with the main content or entry. My guess is that EE has intercepted the normal display of post contents and replaced it with the excerpts for all posts except the first. So, to FEE, this looks like a normal post. It therefore display the post content, which is not the excerpt.
OK, I am just guessing …
If you want more detailed feedback, I will take at look at it, perhaps not before in the beginning of the next week, I am afraid.
Thanks for the feedback. I will test Excerpt Editor myself and see if I can remedy this behaviour, but no promises.
Hi, it’s me again!
I activated FEE on my WordPress portal in order to test it and did not deactivate it again. I noticed that Shutter Reloaded is intercepted by FEE. SR loads and loads the picture, but then aborts so that the picture is shown separately on an empty page.
Just to let you know!
Thanks, I was working on making it compatible with more scripts such as Shutter reloaded.
I don’t want to be a hassle, but this plugins has lots of non-standard tags. This makes any site XHTML invalid after editing.
Check with w3 validator: http://validator.w3.org/
First of all, the validator doesn’t see any output from this plugin, nor do regular visitors.
Second, they are all valid: span, button, div, input.
Can you add the ability to edit text widgets?
Version 0.9 already has this ability.
Hello,
Do you still plan to insert an option for making only paragraph editable instead of all the content ?
Yes, it’s still in the plan.
Nice
!
This plugin seems to conflict with lightbox. Is there anyway around that?
The latest version should work with Lightbox. Which Lightbox plugin are you using exactly and what version of FEE?
Hi, great plugin! I’d asked someone else about doing this before and the answer was that it would be too difficult. I’m glad you made this happen!
I’ve one problem with it though. I’m using an AJAX popup on my page/post links in the sidebar to show a preview of the content. FEE disables the AJAX functionality when it adds its code to the links in the sidebar(via titles, I think). If I disable the titles option in the FE control panel, the problem goes away, but of course I can’t edit the title in the content area now
The sidebar is using wp_page_menu, and I downloaded the latest version of FEE today (.9 I think, no version info in the readme.txt). Is there any way to differentiate the title of the content from the title of the links in the sidebar for FEE?
I’m glad you like it.
I know several other people are having trouble with the editable titles.
I might be able to fix the problem you’re having, but I’m not making any promises. Stay tuned.
Thanks Scrib!
About the sidebar links, why would you need to not make them editable? Are they not displayed correctly?
Well, the span and class that FEE puts in is messing up the AJAX previews on the navigation links. Clicking a link brings you to the content page where it’s intuitive to edit the title anyways.
I just discover I cannot edit the comments fields with the 0.9.5 version (in IE8 and FF). Am I the only one ?
It’s working fine on this site.
Another question, is there any way to use another editor, such as the default Wordpress one, with FEE? I was actually looking to upgrade the Wordpress editor, and now that I’m thinking of using FEE site-wide, I’d like to know if it’s possible to use the site editor instead of the FEE one.
I’m afraid that’s not an option because it would take too long to load, especially if there’ll be an option to edit a single paragraph.
Hmm, sorry to hear that. I’d assumed the code was preloaded by Wordpress as the jquery library is in the header. It would be absolutely awesome to have a full editor there so that I don’t have to retain edit links to use the Wordpress one for pretty posts.
Thanks for your reply!
Hello. Great plugin!
But i don’t get the wysiwyg editor to work in the wordpress mandigo theme (1.40.1).
Normal editing works well but choosing the wys only shows the tags around the text. After activating the normal wordpress theme the wys editor works well.
I want to use Mandigo because it is very easy to cutomize.
Can you help?
Greetings from the netherlands…
I’ll see what I can do.
I got an error when I’m trying to activate it… Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/journees/public_html/devlpjs/wp-content/plugins/front-end-editor/inc/scb/Options.php on line 4
Forgetten to specify, Wordpress 2.7.1, PHP 4.4.8, MySQL 4.1.22-standard, Appache 1.3.41 (unix)

For the non-editable titles, the problem is probably due to SEO title tags I use on this site…
