A powerful frontend dashboard and modular post builder designed for seamless content creation and responsive multi-column layouts.

== Description ==

**kofront frontend posts** is a lightweight, high-performance plugin that empowers users to create, edit, and manage blog posts directly from the frontend of your website without ever touching the standard WordPress backend admin dashboard.

### Key Features:
* **Modular Post Builder:** Easily add, reorder, and remove content blocks including headings, paragraphs, single images, and custom galleries.
* **Newspaper-Style Layouts:** Choose between a clean Single Column layout or a dynamic, reading-optimized Two-Column newspaper flow with automatic text balancing and widow/orphan protection.
* **Native WordPress Media Integration:** Securely utilize the built-in `wp.media` modal for image uploads, cover selection, and full gallery management.
* **Role-Based Access Control:** Role-aware permissions for authors and editors to manage posts and control media library access safely.
* **Streamlined Security:** Fully fortified with strict nonce verification, robust input sanitization, and strict capability checks.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `kofront` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Create a new page and add the `[kofront_dashboard]` shortcode to set up your frontend management hub.
4. Add the `[kofront_editor]` shortcode to your posting page for the modular post creation interface.
