[Feature] Allow WordPress default front-end selectively

[Shelob9]

Problem

This plugin is "all in". There is no way to say all posts of post type X can use a WordPress theme, but everything else redirect to front-end, or to allow a certain page/ post to be allowed.

If a plugin adds a custom rewrite rule, it is probably blocked, which may be bad.

Solution

Add a filter that is the final decider of if request is blocked or not.

Add a UI that allows for a adding paths to allow. Should be able to use * paths:

• /blog/hi-roy -> Allow https://site.com/blog/hi-roy
• /products/shirts/* -> Matches anything starting with https://site.com/products/shirts/

Mockup - I made this by using the inspector to mock up using the page for the simple 301 redirects plugin on calderaforms.com

Hey! We're now using this plugin on wpcampus.org. We definitely need a filter to help determine who gets access to the front end so will be adding a PR for the filter.

@bamadesigner do you still have this need? I vaguely remember a PR that was merged that might have fixed this, but I am not confident, nor have I poked around much.

@Benunc Yes, I believe this line is the filter that was requested: https://github.com/Shelob9/headless-mode/blob/master/headless-mode.php#L96

This was the PR: #13

I believe you can consider this closed.
