Bindery Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Bindery gives any WordPress theme a clean, locked, edit-in-place experience — without a page builder and without giving up hand-written markup.
Custom and AI-built themes are fast and clean, but content-hostile: a client can’t change a headline or a phone number without a developer. Page builders fix that but bloat your markup and your editing screen. Bindery is the missing middle — you decide what a client may change, and they edit only that, right on the live page.
Everything is built on native WordPress primitives (the Block Bindings API, block.json, the REST API), so Bindery never owns your markup and adds no builder lock-in.
What it does
- Edit on the live page. A floating “✎ Edit page” button turns the regions you declared into inline-editable text. Click, type, click away — saved.
- No-code setup. From the Bindery settings screen, tick which HTML tags (headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes…) become editable site-wide. That’s it.
- Or mark regions in code. A one-line template helper (
bindery_attrs()) makes a single element editable; template tags render declared fields anywhere; eight ready-made blocks cover richer content. - Locked by design. Only declared regions are editable. Layout, structure and anything unmarked stay untouchable — clients can’t break the design.
- Multilingual. Every field stores a value per language; unedited languages fall back to your code default.
- Revision history + one-click restore for every edit.
- Export / import all content as JSON for staging production migrations (also via WP-CLI).
- Theme-portable. Verified across Astra, OceanWP, Neve, the default Twenty-* themes and block (FSE) themes; the bundled blocks adapt to your theme’s colours.
Five ways to make content editable
- Settings page — choose editable tags, zero code.
- Attribute helper —
bindery_attrs()marks one element editable in your template. - Blocks — drop a Bindery block into the block editor.
- Template tags —
bindery_field()/bindery_value()render a declared field in PHP. - Auto mode — make all existing page text editable automatically.
Built for developers, too
A small DI container with four filter-driven seams (field types, value sources, storage adapters, locale providers). Values live in their own table, never in your markup; writes are whitelisted to the fields actually on the page and sanitized per type; output is escaped per type. WP-CLI commands for export/import/history/restore. Full API in the bundled DEVELOPERS.md and README.md.
