Welcome back to our monthly roundup! Here’s what’s been up with us and the community lately.

Releases

Frontity’s latest release includes bug fixes and some improvements that have allowed us to start testing the AMP package implementation.

• Besides this, the REST API – Head Tags plugin now works with the latest version of the All In One SEO plugin (^4.0.16).
• Take a look at what’s new in the release notes.

Kasper Aamodt released an npm package for Contact Form 7 that fixes some bugs from the one currently existing. It works with the latest version of both Frontity and the plugin. Thanks for the great work! 🙌

New docs

This past month the DevRel team worked on some new pages and guides that we hope will make your work and experience with Frontity easier:

• Link processor docs
• WP-Comments package docs
• Infinite Scroll Hooks docs
• Frontity Query Options guide

More recently, we published a new section for the state.source.auth property, which allows you to add authentication requests to the WP REST API via the wp-source package.

Community projects

Kasper Aamodt shared with the community the company website he built with Frontity for his new side business: aamodtgroup.com.

• The GitHub repo, along with more details about his experience with the framework, can be found in this post.
• In addition, Kasper published his theme in npm so that it’s available to the community. It has out-of-the-box support for Gutenberg, dark mode and fetching menus from WordPress.

Assembly Online 20 is an interesting project that Ossi Pesonen developed for this Finnish digital festival last year.

The team at Frontback decided to use Frontity for building some of their client’s company sites like seatback.co and timeua.info. You can learn more about these projects by visiting the team’s portfolio.

Orballo recently created a very tiny router (source agnostic) for Frontity in order to keep building his side projects with the framework, even though they are not WordPress projects. Head over to this post to learn more about it. 🧐
