Q: Can I edit my WordPress site without a developer?

For most cosmetic and structural edits — yes. Theme files (wp-content/themes/[theme]/), child-theme overrides, theme.json, translations, hide nags via add_action — SimpleReview opens a PR for those in seconds. For payment plugins, complex Multisite, and large migrations — pair with Vibers human review.

Q: What if my host doesn't expose Git?

Use SFTP. Give SimpleReview read/write access to wp-content/ only — never wp-config.php or wp-admin/. The agent edits theme/plugin overrides and writes a changelog so you can roll back if the live edit breaks something.

WordPress runs 43% of the web, and 90% of "broken site" tickets come down to the same six failures. SimpleReview reads wp-content/, knows hooks and Gutenberg blocks, and ships a Pull Request — no developer needed.

What SimpleReview can fix on WordPress

Theme files — wp-content/themes/[theme]/header.php, footer.php, single.php

Child theme overrides + style.css, functions.php

Gutenberg block-theme templates (theme.json, templates/*.html)

Plugin settings + minor plugin file overrides

Translations in wp-content/languages/themes/[theme]-[locale].po

Hide nags, Update notices, dashboard widgets via add_action

Remove "Powered by [Theme]" from footer (Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence, Twenty Twenty-X)

Disable comments / change comment-form copy site-wide

Works with classic themes + block themes (Twenty Twenty-Four+). WP 6.x. Multi-site (Network) — limited. Managed WP hosts (WP Engine, Kinsta, Cloudways) — yes via Git or staging.

How SimpleReview works on WordPress

Install the Chrome Extension

Add SimpleReview to Chrome. Pin it to the toolbar so the icon is one click away on any tab.

Auto-detects WordPress

SimpleReview reads <meta name="generator" content="WordPress"> and the front-end HTML signatures, then loads the WordPress expert profile (hooks, theme layout, Gutenberg).

Connect Git OR SFTP to wp-content

GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket — or direct SFTP to wp-content/ (preferred for managed hosts without Git: WP Engine free tier, Cloudways, most shared hosts).

Click element → PR

Hover any element. Type "hide this nag" or "remove powered by Astra". The agent edits the right file and opens a PR with wp-cli cache flush notes if needed. You merge or decline.

SimpleReview vs Hiring a WordPress Freelancer

Feature	WP freelancer ($30-80/hr)	SimpleReview
Time to start (per task)	1–3 hours (Zoom + repo/SFTP setup + onboarding)	30 seconds (one-time setup, then cached)
Discovers which file owns the bug	30–90 min in an unfamiliar theme	Instant — already indexed
Knows WordPress hooks (`wp_head`, `the_content`, `admin_notices`)	If you hire a senior	Built-in
Classic themes + block themes (theme.json)	Manual	Both engines auto-detected
Child-theme aware (override > parent > core)	Manual	Yes — child override first
Opens a PR you can review	Sometimes (if they use Git)	Always (or atomic SFTP push with rollback)
Cost for a one-line change	$30–150 (1-hour minimum)	Free with your own AI key — pennies of API usage otherwise
Recommended for payment / Multisite / migration / security	Yes — pair with Vibers human review	No — escalate to Vibers for the 20% of work that needs a human

Who uses SimpleReview on WordPress

WordPress site owners

One-line copy + theme tweaks ship the same hour, instead of waiting on the agency that built the site two years ago.

WordPress agencies

Drafts the boring 80% of tickets — text changes, hide-this-block, footer credits — so seniors focus on plugin and migration work.

Freelancers managing multiple WP sites

One Chrome Extension across all clients. Each site gets its own connected repo or SFTP — no juggling local environments.

Non-tech bloggers and editors

FAQ

Can I edit my WordPress site without a developer?

For most cosmetic and structural edits — yes. Theme files (wp-content/themes/[theme]/), child-theme overrides, theme.json, translations, hide nags via add_action — SimpleReview opens a PR for those in seconds. For payment plugins, complex Multisite, and large migrations — pair with Vibers human review.

How does SimpleReview install on WordPress?

Today: install the Chrome Extension and connect your Git repo or give SFTP credentials to wp-content/. Tomorrow: native plugin on the WordPress.org Plugin Directory (in review — usual cycle 2-8 weeks). Once approved: Plugins → Add New → search SimpleReview → Activate.

Classic themes vs block themes — which are supported?

Both. Classic themes (Astra, GeneratePress, Twenty Sixteen…) — header.php, footer.php, single.php, functions.php. Block themes (Twenty Twenty-Four, Twenty Twenty-Five) — theme.json + templates/*.html + parts/*.html. SimpleReview detects which engine your site uses and edits the right file.

Does it work on managed WP hosts (WP Engine, Kinsta, Cloudways)?

Yes. Two paths: (1) connect the host's Git integration (WP Engine, Kinsta, and Cloudways all support it) and SimpleReview opens a PR; (2) connect SFTP/SSH to wp-content/ and SimpleReview pushes directly. SFTP is preferred where Git is locked behind a paid tier.

What if my host doesn't expose Git?

Use SFTP. Give SimpleReview read/write access to wp-content/ only — never wp-config.php or wp-admin/. The agent edits theme/plugin overrides and writes a changelog so you can roll back if a live edit breaks something.

How is this cheaper than a freelancer for one-line tweaks?

Freelancer: $30-80/hour with a 1-hour minimum, plus 30-90 min just to find the right file in a theme they've never seen. SimpleReview: pennies in API costs (free if you bring your own key). The agent already knows wp-content/themes/, child themes, hooks, Gutenberg blocks, and theme.json — no onboarding tax per task.
