These last months have been pretty intense here at Frontity. Back in March we decided to discontinue the development of our mobile theme for WordPr...

This is pretty cool! I have a semi-styled localhost version of another site up in less than an hour. Quick question, is there any way to pull in ACF fields via the normal WP RESTFUL API? github.com/airesvsg/acf-to-rest-api/ <-- The ACF fields ouput in JSON, directly after the content and meta info. I tried post.acf.field_title and a couple other ways of accessing that data, but no luck. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for reaching out! Although this topic of our forum addresses other issue, I think this answer can help you: community.frontity.org/t/acf-optio....
If it doesn't, please let me know and we'll be happy to look into it. Thanks :)
Thenk you Reyes, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Glad it helped! Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or would like to share what you're building. We'd love to learn about your experience 😊
Just signed up for the notify email list :)
I'd love to try this out as I was trying to build a Gatsby frontend (as no batteries are included) as my current WordPress page is slow.
Thanks Sung! That looks very cool!
I'd love to hear more about the challenges you've faced using WordPress as a headless CMS. If you could share your thoughts or experience in our community forum that would be really helpful :)
I've posted on the forum regarding the challenges here :)
Our framework aims to make building sites with WordPress and React easier and this kind of feedback is always useful to improve. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Let us know how it goes when you have the chance to try out the beta :)
This sounds incredible I can’t wait.
Hey! Did you have the chance to try Frontity out? We'd love to hear your thoughts and know if we can be of any help :)
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that. It would be great to get your feedback once we launch the beta :)
I am very new in both the technologies (React & Wordpress) but planning a huge content community website with frontity, will I be able to use wordpress multisite and all its related plughins If I choose frontity?
I am also planning to use mongo db (For users and other business logic data) and S3 storage (for storing images & videos).
Do you think it will make sense to use all of them together?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out :)
I'm not sure about the WordPress multisite, but if the REST API is the same, it should work. Would you mind to share your questions along with the URL of the multisite on our forum (community.frontity.org/) so the dev team can take a look at it? I'm pretty sure they'll give you a better answer than me and advice on the best approach :) We'd love to help out!
Thank you so much for your reply, I will surely ask this on your forum after preparing some more information and will try to be more specific while asking on your forum :)
Sounds great, we look forward to hearing from you :)
Hi! I'm trying it out and I have two questions: Are there themes available already for it? And can I still use Gutenberg blocks and display them on the front?
Hi Virginia! Right now, we have two starter themes which allow you to get your site running on Frontity easily: mars.frontity.org/ and twentynineteen.frontity.org/. They can be customized to fit your needs.
Regarding your second question: yes, I think you could still use Gutenberg blocks. However, we are thinking about releasing a @frontity/gutenberg npm package to make sure everything works fine. What this package does is to put the CSS that Gutenberg injects into PHP themes.
If you run into any issues or need a hand, feel free to ask in our forum: community.frontity.org/. We'll be happy to help! :)
Thanks for the reply, I have tried both themes by now, and I have started experimenting myself with adding stylesheets that have the CSS for the gutenberg blocks, looking forward to see that new theme.
That sounds great, Virginia! We've opened a new topic in our forum about the Gutenberg support: community.frontity.org/t/gutenberg.... Any feedback or thoughts that you'd like to share with us if you investigate further would really valuable!
Hi Virginia!
Did you manage to get Frontity working? We would love to hear more about your experience and know if we can be of any help :)
From my personal experience:
I have been working with WordPress for a very long time, there were different dynozres in my combat practice;): WP + AngularJs, WP + Vue.js, and it was React time, I also, like other guys, paid attention to GatsbyJs. And purely by chance, I joined the Frontity development team as a tester.
Frankly, I really like the circle of people who create this framework. Yes, much remains to be done, but the pace and persistence with which they do it gives every reason to expect the best.
Well done, we look forward to the release and are ready to support you with claps of hands and harsh criticism.
Thank you for your kind words and your continued support Anatoliy! We are happy to have you in our community! 🤗
Frontity helped us to build a super slick website! It makes it very easy to set up, build and maintain a headless WordPress site. Just sharing our case study here - awsm.in/frontity-case-study/
Thanks for sharing this, Aravind! 🙂
Frontity has stopped updating its framework. I would like to create a react site where wordpress was the backend, any recommendations for an alternative to Frontity?
