Descripción
PressPilot Frontend Editor for Avada lets authenticated users create and edit standard WordPress posts directly from the frontend, without accessing wp-admin.
Designed for editorial workflows where non-admin users need a clean writing experience while administrators keep full control over permissions, status transitions, authorship, and media uploads.
Developed and maintained by CardeeTech.
Key capabilities:
- Frontend create/edit form for standard posts
- Frontend listing of posts with direct edit links
- TinyMCE editor, excerpt, categories, tags, post status, and scheduled date
- Featured image upload or external URL (with SSRF protections)
- Avada Builder native elements for the two core shortcodes
- Internationalization-ready (fully translatable)
Security highlights:
- Nonce validation on all form submissions (
_ppfenonce) - Capability-gated operations (
edit_posts,edit_post,edit_others_posts,publish_posts,upload_files) - Strict sanitization and escaping throughout
- External image URL hardening: HTTPS-only, blocks localhost/private/link-local/metadata endpoints
Avada integration:
When Avada Builder is active, the plugin registers native Avada Builder elements for both shortcodes, so editors can add the frontend form and posts list using the visual drag-and-drop builder without writing shortcode syntax.
