Welcome to your HeadlessWP dashboard! This is where you can see how your site is working and turn important features on or off.
Headless Mode
What is Headless Mode?
Think of headless mode like putting your WordPress site into “content-only” mode. When it’s on, people visiting your site will be sent to your custom website instead of the regular WordPress pages.
Current Status
You’ll see one of these messages:
- Mode Active: Your site is in headless mode
- Mode Inactive: Your site is showing regular WordPress pages
How to Use
Just click the toggle switch to turn headless mode on or off. When it’s:
- ON: Visitors see your custom website
- OFF: Visitors see regular WordPress pages
API Statistics
Here you can see important numbers about your API:
Quick Numbers
- Total Endpoints: How many different ways you can connect to your content
- API Namespaces: Different groups of API connections
- Disabled Endpoints: Any connection points you’ve turned off
- API Root: Your main API address (like
