Frontend Admin Pro is the paid edition of Frontend Admin. It lets clients and other visitors work with WordPress data through forms on the site frontend, without entering the WordPress dashboard. Build forms for posts, pages, users, terms, ACF fields, and custom meta data, then place them with a Gutenberg block or shortcode. Advanced Custom Fields must be installed and active.

Forms for content and visitor data

The form builder supports adding, editing, publishing, and trashing posts, as well as editing user profiles and registering users. Forms can also work with terms and other supported data. To let users select post categories, add a taxonomy field and set its type to Category.

Pro settings for shared data and submissions

When global data, such as header or footer content, is stored in an ACF options page, a form can let users edit it from the frontend. Submission limits can restrict how often all users or specific users submit a form.

Configure email actions to send messages when a form is submitted. Map form data to the email address, from address, subject, and message fields. Form settings can send any number of emails per submission.

Form access and presentation

Set form permissions by user role or specific users, and conceal the WordPress admin area from selected users. A form can open in a modal when someone clicks a button. Elementor’s Style tab lets you style the form and its buttons, while multi-step forms divide a longer flow into stages.

Payments and connected tools

Forms can accept payments through Stripe or PayPal upon submission. The WooCommerce integration supports adding products from the frontend. Built-in integrations also include Easy Digital Downloads, SureCart, Advanced Custom Fields, and Pods.

Supported page builders include Elementor, Bricks Builder, Spectra Website Builder, Divi Builder, Beaver Builder, Thrive Architect, Gutenberg, and Oxygen Builder.
