## Description

In conjunction with the [Faust.js™ NPM packages](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%40faustwp),
the Faust.js™ WordPress plugin enables a decoupled front-end to authenticate with
WordPress through GraphQL mutations and REST API endpoints. It is the bridge between
a Faust.js™ powered front-end application, and a WordPress backend.

The plugin also provides useful options for headless sites, such as the ability 
to:

 * Hide “theme” admin pages.
 * Redirect public route requests to the front-end application.
 * Rewrite WordPress URLs to front-end URLs in queried content.

### Why the name “Faust.js”?

Johann Faust was a German printer and was instrumental in the invention of the printing
press, along with his partner Johann Gutenberg. In the same way the printing press
democratized the spread of information, the mission of Faust.js is to support and
further the vision of WordPress to democratize publishing on the web.

 [Teresa Gobble](https://profiles.wordpress.org/teresagobble/) ജൂലൈ 26, 2023

Reduces the complexity of building headless WordPress frontends for the web tenfold.
Addition of Apollo helps the user flexibly perform declarative queries to manipulate
and structure data too.

## Changelog

#### 1.8.11

### Patch Changes

 * 0ef93f8: Add WordPress 7.0 to the CI test matrix and update the plugin “Tested
   up to” header to 7.0.

#### 1.8.10

### Patch Changes

 * 81a854f: Maintenance release for WordPress.org. No functional changes. Sites 
   still on 1.8.0 remain affected by GHSA-q6pm-r77q-qcv3 / CVE-2026-54239 and should
   update.

#### 1.8.9

### Patch Changes

 * 139479d: Remove the `Update URI: false` header from `faustwp.php` so WordPress
   checks wordpress.org for plugin updates. This restores wordpress.org as the canonical
   update channel for new installs. The 1.8.8 security fix (GHSA-q6pm-r77q-qcv3)—
   include the IV in the token envelope HMAC to prevent authentication bypass — 
   was reported by ParkHyunWoo (@hwpark6804-gif) via Patchstack.
