Take full control of the user experience by allowing members, authors, and customers to manage their profiles, submit posts, and navigate custom dashboards directly on the frontend — without ever accessing the `wp-admin` dashboard. #### Key Features * **Modern App Shell & Responsive Layout**: Clean, fast frontend dashboard interface powered by Tailwind CSS with responsive slide-over navigation. * **Modern Rich Text & Block Editors**: Choose between **Editor.js** (block editor with headers, images, quotes, lists, tables), **TipTap** (WYSIWYG modern editor), or the classic WordPress Editor for frontend post publishing. * **Custom Authentication Flow**: Custom Login, Registration, and Forgot Password pages with custom redirects before/after login, register, and logout. * **WP Admin Restriction**: Restrict access to the WordPress backend (`/wp-admin/`) and admin toolbar based on user roles. * **Custom User Roles**: Create, manage, and assign custom user roles with specific dashboard capabilities. * **Custom Profile & Post Fields**: Create unlimited custom fields for user profiles and post types with role-based visibility and permissions. * **Built-in Templates & Page Mappings**: Built-in modern dashboard templates, extra form fields, and page loaders merged directly into Core. * **File Upload Controls**: Role-based permissions to allow or restrict media uploads in the frontend dashboard. * **Frontend Post & Taxonomy Management**: Add, edit, and delete posts or custom post types and taxonomies with role permissions. * **Add-ons & Extensions Hub**: Browse, install, and activate official Frontend Dashboard add-ons with 1-click management and real-time catalog updates. * **System Status & Diagnostics**: Built-in system environment diagnostic tools, database health checks, and activity logging. * **Theme Matching & Custom Styling**: Customize dashboard theme colors and UI options to seamlessly match your site design. #### Official Add-ons & Extensions * [Frontend Dashboard Custom Post and Taxonomies](https://buffercode.com/plugin/frontend-dashboard-custom-post-and-taxonomies)( Free) * [Frontend Dashboard Notification](https://buffercode.com/plugin/frontend-dashboard-notification)( Free) * [Frontend Dashboard Captcha](https://buffercode.com/plugin/frontend-dashboard-captcha)( Free) * [Frontend Dashboard Social Chat](https://buffercode.com/plugin/frontend-dashboard-social-chat)( Free) _Note: Frontend Dashboard Templates, Extra, and Pages have been merged directly into Core in v3.0.0._ ## Screenshots [⌊Frontend Dashboard Control Center.⌉⌊Frontend Dashboard Control Center.⌉[ Frontend Dashboard Control Center.
