After weeks improving the UX based on your feedback, I finally released v0.2 of my WordPress plugin to manage Firebase Firestore directly from WP admin.
Main focus was:
• cleaner Firestore browsing
• inline field editing
• structured array/object editing
• no custom admin panel needed
Would love honest feedback from people working with Firebase + WordPress.

Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a small plugin to manage Firebase (Firestore) data directly from the WordPress admin.
The idea came from a recurring problem I kept running into:
every time I built something with Firebase, I ended up creating a custom admin panel just to manage data.
At some point I thought… why not just use WordPress for that?
So I built a plugin that lets you:
- Browse Firestore collections
- View and edit documents
- Perform basic CRUD operations
- Handle data from a familiar WP interface
All without touching the Firebase console.
It’s still early, but I’m already using it in my own projects.

Why WordPress? I know it might sound a bit unusual to use WordPress for this, but in practice it solves a couple of problems for me:
- I already have user management, roles and permissions
- Non-technical users are familiar with the interface
-I don’t have to build a custom admin panel for every project
So instead of creating a new backend each time, I just reuse WordPress as a simple backoffice.
I’d really appreciate feedback on:
- Does this make sense as a use case?
- Would you use WordPress as a backoffice for - Firebase projects?
- What would be missing for this to be useful in a real project?
