The BuzzEditor plugin brings Gutenberg editor functionality to the frontend, so you and your users can create posts there.

Content can be arranged with more than 15 post blocks, 13 post grids, 20 block header styles, 18 post lists and 3 post sliders, plus block pagination, advanced filters and block tabs.

Community features come through BuddyPress compatibility, with member profiles, follow, rankings, notifications, social login, groups, points, badges, activity feeds and leaderboards. Premium widgets cover a social counter, video playlist, Facebook like box, advertisement, newsletter, Instagram feed and popular categories. Readers can react to posts with designed reaction sets and switch on dark mode for night reading, while an advanced theme options panel and a header and footer builder with three rows control the layout of each page.
