    What is the correct method to determine, via PHP, if the user is using the Frontend Editor?

    I came up with this:

    if ( function_exists( 'vchelper' ) ) {

	$sourceId = intval( vchelper( 'Request' )->input( 'vcv-source-id' ) );

	if ( $sourceId === get_the_ID() ) {

		$apply = false;
	}
}

    This does seem to work, but I am wondering if there is a supported API for devs to use.

    Thanks!

    Please ignore the $apply = false; line, that is just for my use… thanks

    Hi!

    You can do it by using our FrontEnd helper

    $frontendHelper = vchelper('Frontend');
if($frontendHelper->isFrontend()) {
    //do the needed stuff
}

    But most likely you want to detect if the page is editable, and you will need this method

    $frontendHelper = vchelper('Frontend');
if($frontendHelper->isPageEditable()) {
    //do the needed stuff
}

    Let me know if that helped you.
