TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who run a headless CMS frontend separate from their WordPress backend. It solves the problem of backend content and admin links not connecting to the corresponding pages on the headless frontend, by rewriting view links and optionally redirecting frontend requests to the headless site.

  • Set headless frontend base URL
  • Optional 301 redirect to frontend
  • Rewrite View links on list screens
  • Custom preview path for drafts
  • Map author archive paths
  • Per-taxonomy and post-type slug overrides
  • Empty slug option for flat routes
  • Frontend links open in new tab
