Plugin Description
May 2021: NEW IN VERSION 1.9.0
Wunderbar now offers more options for working with and within Gutenberg. It plays well with basic Gutenberg content, letting you use the Wunderbar for WYSIWYG editing from the front end of your website, while retaining Gutenberg’s block structure and tagging. You can now also insert a Wunderbar block in Gutenberg – setting things up so you can only edit that portion of the post or page. Developers can declare allow only certain users or roles to edit specific content, and can change the WYSIWYG editing toolbar choices for different roles. See our website for documentation.
The Wunderbar is a WYSIWYG front-end editor that works with most WordPress sites and themes. Wunderbar puts full-featured visual editing, like a word processor on every page of your website. You make your changes right on the page itself – not from the back end admin – so you can see exactly what your fonts, colors, styles, links, columns, tables, and images will look like. You can even create and edit columns with What-you-see-is-what-you-get accuracy. No guessing, no wasted time.
Our formatting toolbar looks and works like a familiar word processor, making editing intuitive and fast. Drag and drop images or files, create hyperlinks, and more. Wherever the Wunderbar cursor appears – posts, pages, content, titles, excerpts – you can edit it quickly and with unlimited undo in case you make an error. Wunderbar will change the way you think about editing in WordPress!
Note: The Wunderbar is not designed for use on sites that rely on theme/page builders like Elementor, Divi, WP Bakery and others. It may or may work, because these plugins typically replace normal HTML with their own system of shortcodes, leaving behind little thay can be edited.

<p>More customization than ever! The Wunderbar already edits custom post types, which is great for things like Woocommerce products. But sometimes you won’t want it to, so you can now specify custom post types you DON’T want edited. You can also set you own custom HTML to surround any image or file you drop onto your page content. (Of course that’s also editable <i>after</i> you drop in the picture or file.)</p>

The Wunderbar now gives you the option to create new pages or post when they don’t exist. If you visit a URL that results in a 404 error page, Wunderbar will pop up a dialog box that offers to create that page for you. This way you can, for instance, invent a hyperlink on one page, then click it , and you’ll be asked if you want to create the new page.
VERSION 1.4.1
The Wunderbar has always had a Styles drop-down menu. Now you can configure it from Admin/Setup with a list of context-sensitive elements and custom styles to be applied. The Wunderbar also will no longer activate if an admin user doesn’t have editing privileges.
VERSION 1.4.0
The Wunderbar now integrates seamlessly with the popular, awesome Advanced Custom Fields plugin. The free ACF plugin lets you add additional fields to posts for display on your pages—and the Wunderbar will let you edit those new textareas, WYSIWYG, & text fields just like you now edit the rest of your content. Plus, we squashed a few bugs and even seriously improved compatibility with Internet Explorer.
