Frequently Asked Questions

Frontman is an AI editor for your existing WordPress site. Describe a change in chat beside the site preview, and Frontman uses WordPress-native tools to make the edits. You inspect the result and ask for adjustments.

Marketing leads and teams who own a WordPress website's message but lack the WordPress expertise or agency availability to implement every update. You bring the content and visual direction. Frontman helps turn those decisions into changes on the site you already have.

You can request supported changes in plain language without writing code or finding every page-builder control. You still need to judge the result, check links and mobile layouts, and manage publication. Administrator access is required; your site administrator can help with installation if needed.

Yes. Frontman installs as a plugin on your existing WordPress site. There is no migration to a new website builder. It has dedicated tools for Gutenberg and Elementor, plus WooCommerce when active. Themes and plugins vary; supported tools do not guarantee every third-party workflow or plugin configuration.

Update campaign copy, headlines, CTAs, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor sections, and navigation. You can also create or update posts and pages, work with block templates and widgets, and change supported site settings. Some requests need more than one pass. The WordPress setup guide lists the tools and their limits.

Writes affect the WordPress installation you connect. Published content on a live site can change immediately, before you finish reviewing it. Preview is not a universal approval gate. Start with staging and a backup. Draft publication and staging promotion still use your normal WordPress process.

No. Elementor snapshots and applicable WordPress revisions help recover some changes, but there is no universal undo. Keep site backups and use staging for higher-risk work. The WordPress integration guide explains confirmation and recovery for each supported surface.

WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+, and administrator access. Install and activate Frontman - AI Website Editor from the WordPress Plugin Directory, then open Frontman from the admin menu. Sign in with GitHub or Google, arrange Frontman service access, and connect your own supported AI provider. Provider costs are separate from Frontman pricing.

Only WordPress users with administrator-level manage_options permission can access Frontman. Tool requests use WordPress nonces and site-setting writes are restricted to supported settings. When you submit a request, relevant site context passes through Frontman's server to your chosen AI provider. Read the privacy policy and security documentation before connecting sensitive content.

Yes. Separate Next.js, Astro, and Vite integrations run in a supported development environment. A developer installs the integration and reviews, tests, and deploys the source changes. Developers must check production guards and deployed routes rather than assume the integration disappears automatically. See the framework overview for that workflow.

Yes. Frontman is source-available on GitHub. The browser client and framework integrations use Apache-2.0, the WordPress plugin uses GPL-2.0-or-later, and Frontman Server uses AGPL-3.0-only with AI Supplementary Terms. Self-hosting requires your own infrastructure, maintenance, and AI-provider access. Pricing and documentation explain the hosted and self-hosted options.
