  4. Thanks, this is a great resource. I’ve gone for the Front end editor on one site and I’ll try Raptor on another. They both look great and I wish I knew about them a LONG time ago! Perfect for client sites!

  5. Hi Sarah,

    Thanks for this article, do you know a plugin that enable visitors of a wp post/page to suggest another wording for an article.
    It’s front end editing but it should generate another version of the article that the admin can review before posting it (or no) online.

    Thanks

  6. I just installed the plugin in a client’s site where he is set up as Editor and I am Admin. I logged in as him, and the editor didn’t work at all for me. When I logged by in as me (Admin) it worked fine. But that kind of defeats the purpose of the whole editor. I’m trying to make like simpler for my non-tech savvy client, but this doesn’t seem to do it. I don’t need a front end editor for any content changes I might want to make. Am I missing something very basic? I had the same issue when I tried to install Front End Editor for another client. It worked for me, but not for her.
