I’m Adrián, Graphic Designer that’s trying to be a Front-end Developer. I’m 31 years old (almost 32!) and I live in Cantabria (Northen Spain).
I’ve been coding a little bit since I finished my degree on 2016. But really focusing on Javascript and React since the last year. I’m not that kind of people who was coding since childhood, but I think It’s never too late for it. So here I am, trying to found myself into the developers world!
I like video games, post-rock music and really enjoy taking walks into the nature.
I’m happy to be part of this community. I’m sure that Frontity it’s going to be awesome (well, it’s awesome already).
My name is Sean Doldersum, 30 years old and a Frontend Developer from Nijverdal, The Netherlands.
I’ll be trying to make a website with a custom ecommerce platform (with approximately 60.000 products). It’s connected to not 1 but 2 API’s for all the data that is being served.
I’m really exited to see how Frontity will preform with all this. Hardest part untill now is figuring out the authentication for the logged in part of the site. This will also determine the prices for the user. If people have good ideas pls let me know. Also on how to change the prices and creating a custom cart for this.

I have been working with WordPress since 2017 and started my career as a WordPress developer with TechSharks in 2018 and I am still working with them. besides, I created my own startup CodeNawis at the end of 2018 and has been working freelance and company based since then.
I started to work with other programming languages & Frameworks in my free time and so far I know JAVA, Python - Django - Flask, Dart - Flutter, PHP - Laravel, JS - React - Vue - Svelte and so many others.
I love react and I had already created a WebApp using nextjs and WordPress cms, but when I came across frontity, It had already had everything out of the box
I have also createdFrontity Share Package that is still under work but works fine with the 2 methods mentioned there. so fill free to use it and give me a to encourage me more
I am Philippe, a 29y old software engineer from Switzerland. I did some stuff with WP for my photo porfolio, and football fan site. I did also do some stuff with Graph CMS, and GatsbyJS for some other private projects.
Now with Frontity I am planing to create a new website for a newly opening language school and trying to get bit more into React while doing that
Hi!
My name is Evhen, 24 y.o. developer from Ukraine.
I have 4 years of experience developing complex Wordpress projects using Vue.js. I used the usual theme and connecting the Vue.js components through the anchor in MPA mode because we had such requirements for SEO.
All this time I was waiting for a well-supported project on an independent front-end with server rendering out of the box and was glad to know about your achievement at the JS Nation. Now I am considering the idea of transferring from Vue.js to the Frontity a rather complicated project.
I will do that when finishied. Is there any thread already about how you guys are setting up your Developing Environment? Like which IDE you use and stuff like that?
Nice to meet you and first of all: Frontity looks promising! I’ve watched your YT channel and planned to watch the 3-hour long live on how to use your framework.
As I’ve been working with WP since 2010 helping ad agencies I have two major questions:
Can I use current WP plugins? If yes, any of them?
Can I use current WP themes? If yes, any of them?
I quickly dived into those questions earlier and my perception says a clear “no” but I’d like to confirm it with the core team.
Already scheduled to build something with Frontity this week!
Regarding your first question: you can use any WP plugins that add their content to the WP REST API.
There are two ways that this can work. Some plugins implement a shortcode to render content - these are the easiest to work with as you embed the shortcode in a page or post and the rendered content is included in the JSON that Frontity receives from the REST API.
The other way that a plugin can add content to the REST API is by exposing any Custom Post Types or Custom Taxonomies using the show-in-rest property. But even if the plugin author does not do this you can still “retro-fit” this functionality - see here for how to do this.
Regarding your second question about themes - WP themes are effectively by-passed when using WordPress as a headless CMS. With Frontity you normally just work with the JSON responses from the WP REST API and the theme is basically redundant (except insofar that WordPress requires at least a minimal theme to function - but this can consist of just stub index.php and styles.css files).
We have a large experience with Wordpress and eager to start developing projects on Frontity + WP.
We have some projects with VueJS, AngularJS, and we hope to improve our knowledge in ReactJS, while developing with this framework. We will try to collaborate with the community as much as we can, in order to grow together.
Today my team and I watched half of your tutorial and it’s quite interesting: the Frontity’s object contains a lot of organized data. Good! Regarding the WP plugins, we googled about it a little bit and it seems that Yoast and Advanced Custom Fields are already integrated with the WP REST API.
We’ll give it a try in the next days. Looking forward to give you a detailed feedback on our experience with Frontity.
Hey Ankaa, I’d like to know about your experience as we’re starting to play with Frontity as well. It may be interesting to share experiences as we’re on the same learning level.
Hi Cesar, we have a little experience, but if we can help it would be great, if you want you can send me a message with your doubts maybe there is something we already tried.
In summary we tried to use the data from the post and categories, custom post types, create a handler to get the data from a options acf page, multilanguage site (es/en) and now we are trying to get the menu from Wordpress
