The WordPress dashboard is very easy to use (especially for professional developers), but if you can handle basic daily site management on the front end, that’s great. This is especially useful for helping clients maintain their websites for a long time. Thanks to Beaver builder’s new plug-in assistant, it is now ready. The recently released open source project provides a new way for the front end to manage many daily word press tasks and important collaboration functions. In this post, we will introduce the new plug-in and what it can do. We will then discuss some of the reasons why developers pay special attention to assistants. Let’s go! The
About assistant beaver builder team is developing, but assistant is a completely different tool from familiar page builder. Instead of male, this productivity solution is designed to make the daily work of word press users easier. Add a simple control panel to the front end of the site, which can only be seen by logged in administrators and authorized users. The control panel is composed of \
Assistant is completely independent of beaver builder, so you do not need to install a page builder to use it. Instead, the plug-in is a collaborative open source project. All core functions must be maintained free of charge and can be used with existing themes and plug-ins. By improving the efficiency of basic site updates performed by users of the five main help functions, assistant provides a lot of value to WordPress experts and customers to simplify WordPress site management. Let’s take a closer look at the main features and how they benefit you. The
1. you can use the assistant’s content application to quickly change posts, pages, and templates. After selecting the content application in the assistant control panel, you can use the create new post function to add a draft to the website. This helps to quickly annotate ideas that can later be materialized into long format content. In addition, if you hover over a post in the list, a small toolbar with five options is displayed. You can do the following here: View: please refer to the front-end post. Edit: navigate to the post in the back-end editor. Copy: create a copy of the post. Mark as favorite: add a post to your favorites as an important part. Recycle Bin: delete posts. The options for pages and templates are the same, and Beaver builder also provides edit buttons unless your site has a page builder installed. The
The last time you accidentally delete a post, it can be easily recovered from the content application. You still need to browse the dashboard to create posts and pages, but these functions can quickly and easily handle the content management tasks that usually need to be performed in the back-end posts or page area. 2. after viewing the media file attachment page, the media application is very simple. You can view the images, videos, audio and documents currently uploaded to the current site. When you move the mouse over a file, a media application toolbar with four options is displayed. View: please refer to the attachment page of the document. Copy URL: copies the URL of the media file to the clipboard. Edit: navigate to the dashboard where you can edit file details. Recycle Bin: deletes files from the site. So far, this will be the simplest application that the assistant provides. But now use the preview release, so in the future
Once expanded, you can easily manage media on the front end. The
3. conduct a thorough review of comments on the front end. The review of comments is an important work to prevent spam and maintain a charming environment on the site. With the helper, you can easily address this responsibility through the review application. The application has almost the same basic comment review function as WordPress, but it is located at the front end. You can view pending, approved, spam, and recycle bin comments. You can then approve, reject, display, or delete spam using the toolbar that appears when you hover over each item. This feature gives customers a huge advantage by enabling them to handle all basic comment management tasks without accessing the dashboard. This allows you to stay away from settings or plug-ins. It is better to keep it as it is. The
4. improve content configuration and communication through labels. Assistant also provides some unique functions for plug-ins. For example, it can be used to create labels. Simple color coding system for organizing posts, pages and media files. You can edit labels in the control panel and customize them as needed. Labels can then be assigned in content and media applications. For sites with a lot of content, such as product portfolios and blogs, tags simplify navigation and enable you to quickly find what you need. Customers can also highly rate this feature as it may help determine the release schedule and release workflow. It is also a convenient tool for communication in the content team. The
5. perform faster updates finally, assistant also allows plug-ins and topic updates to run on the front end. This is a fairly standard maintenance work, which can be provided to customers together with regular development services. Since there can be many updates to be performed at multiple sites, quickly handling this responsibility on the front end can help improve productivity. Alternatively, the client can provide a simpler, more user-friendly way to manage updates on its own. Providing these options requires a continuous maintenance task. The
The reason why developers should be fascinated by assistants is that although assistants have many features that can interest you and your customers, the most interesting thing is that they provide new development opportunities to take advantage of these features. WordPress experts recommend building new applications to be added to the core plug-ins. Beaver builder said that developers will provide public APIs that can be used to integrate new functions. Now you can check the assistant GitHub repository to see how it has been formed so far. Participating in open source development is a wise choice for all web experts and helps complete a portfolio or resume. For those who still master coding technology, this is also an opportunity to gain practical work experience. The
