## 描述

Explorer Soft Admin Shell transforms the classic WordPress admin into a modern desktop-
style workspace.

Instead of constantly switching tabs and navigating crowded admin menus, you can
work with draggable windows, desktop shortcuts, multiple workspaces, native dashboard
apps, and a real taskbar experience directly inside WordPress.

The result is a faster, cleaner and more productive admin workflow that feels closer
to a modern operating system than a traditional wp-admin panel.

Perfect for:

 * WordPress power users
 * WooCommerce stores
 * Agencies
 * Developers
 * Content teams
 * Busy administrators

#### Main Features

 * Desktop-style WordPress experience – turn wp-admin into a real desktop environment
   with windows, icons, taskbar and Start menu.
 * Draggable admin windows – open and manage multiple WordPress admin pages simultaneously.
 * Multiple desktops / Spaces – separate workflows for content, WooCommerce, maintenance,
   analytics and more.
 * Native dashboard apps – includes Operations Center and Site Insights dashboards
   for fast operational monitoring.
 * Command Palette – quickly launch admin pages, actions and apps using keyboard
   shortcuts.
 * Taskbar and window management – minimize, maximize, restore and organize your
   workflow like a desktop operating system.
 * Custom shortcuts and folders – create your own desktop layout with custom admin
   shortcuts and folders.
 * Wallpapers, themes and widgets – personalize your workspace with themes, backgrounds,
   clock widgets and optional feeds.
 * WooCommerce integration – quick access to products, orders, reporting and operational
   alerts.
 * Privacy-friendly – no tracking and no external requests by default.

#### Designed for Real Productivity

Explorer Soft Admin Shell is not just a visual redesign.

It changes the way administrators interact with WordPress by reducing navigation
friction, improving multitasking and creating a more focused workspace for daily
operations.

The classic WordPress admin remains fully available at all times and can be opened
instantly from the taskbar or direct admin links.

#### Included Native Apps

 * Operations Center – monitor updates, WooCommerce activity, scheduled tasks, moderation
   queues, security baselines and system health from a centralized dashboard.
 * Site Insights – view WooCommerce metrics, registrations, content activity, runtime
   health and operational summaries in a native desktop window.

#### Keyboard Shortcuts

 * Command Palette: Ctrl+Shift+K or Alt+K
 * Switch desktops: Ctrl+Alt+Left / Right
 * Direct desktop access: Ctrl+Alt+1..9

#### Privacy & External Services

Explorer Soft Admin Shell does not track users and does not contact external services
by default.

Optional widgets such as Weather and RSS News are disabled until enabled and configured
by the current user.

#### Important

Explorer Soft Admin Shell becomes the default admin landing experience after activation,
while the classic WordPress admin always remains accessible.

Custom shortcut targets are limited to the current site’s WordPress admin area. 
The default View site shortcut opens the current site’s public home URL.

### External services

Explorer Soft Admin Shell does not track users and does not contact third-party 
services by default. External requests are only made after the current user enables
the related widget and configures the provider or feed.

#### Native admin dashboards

Operations Center and Site insights are admin-only native dashboard windows. They
use local WordPress, WooCommerce, cron, Action Scheduler, runtime and server information
available to the current site and current user. They do not contact third-party 
services.

#### Weather services

The Weather widget is disabled by default. When enabled, the user’s browser contacts
the selected weather provider to show live conditions. The configured location is
sent to the selected provider when the widget loads or refreshes. API keys, when
used, are stored only in the current user’s saved desktop layout.

Supported weather providers:

 * Open-Meteo geocoding and forecast APIs, used to find the configured location 
   and load current weather without an API key. Terms and privacy: https://open-
   meteo.com/en/terms
 * OpenWeatherMap current weather API, used only when the user selects OpenWeatherMap
   and enters an API key. Terms: https://openweathermap.org/terms Privacy: https://
   openweathermap.org/privacy-policy
 * WeatherAPI.com current weather API, used only when the user selects WeatherAPI.
   com and enters an API key. Terms: https://www.weatherapi.com/terms.aspx Privacy:
   https://www.weatherapi.com/privacy.aspx
 * Custom JSON endpoint, used only when the user enters a custom endpoint. The configured
   location and API key placeholders may be sent to that custom URL depending on
   the URL entered by the user.

#### RSS news services

The News widget is disabled by default. When enabled, WordPress uses its feed functions
to request the configured RSS feed URL from the server and display headlines. The
RSS feed URL is sent when the widget loads or refreshes. Preset feeds are optional
conveniences; users can choose a custom RSS feed instead.

Preset RSS providers:

 * CoinDesk RSS. Terms: https://www.coindesk.com/terms/ Privacy: https://www.coindesk.
   com/privacy
 * Cointelegraph RSS. Terms and privacy: https://cointelegraph.com/terms-and-privacy
 * BBC News RSS. Terms: https://www.bbc.co.uk/usingthebbc/terms/ Privacy: https://
   www.bbc.co.uk/usingthebbc/privacy/
 * Le Monde RSS. Terms: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/help/article/2026/03/19/general-

## 安装

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/explorer-soft-admin-shell/`
    directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 3. After activation, WordPress opens the Explorer Soft Admin Shell desktop automatically.
 4. Use the Classic admin button in the taskbar if you need to temporarily return to
    the standard WordPress admin.
 5. Visit Settings > Admin Shell if you want to change the default admin landing or
    login redirect behavior.

## 常见问题

### Does this replace the classic WordPress admin?

No. The classic WordPress admin remains available from the desktop taskbar and direct
admin links. Explorer Soft Admin Shell becomes the default admin landing screen 
after activation.

### Why does `/wp-admin/` open Explorer Soft Admin Shell after activation?

Explorer Soft Admin Shell is intended to become the active admin shell. Successful
logins and normal top-level admin visits are routed to Explorer Soft Admin Shell
by default. Site administrators can change this from Settings > Admin Shell. The
Classic admin button remains available for users who need the standard WordPress
admin temporarily.

### How can I return to the classic WordPress admin directly?

Use the Classic admin button in the desktop taskbar, the Open Classic Admin button
on Settings > Admin Shell, or visit `/wp-admin/?esash_classic=1`.

### Can I stop the automatic desktop redirects without deactivating the plugin?

Yes. Go to Settings > Admin Shell and disable the default admin landing redirect
or the login redirect. The desktop shell remains available from the WordPress admin
menu and direct desktop URL.

### Can I reset my desktop layout?

Yes. Go to Settings > Admin Shell and use Reset my desktop layout to remove your
saved icons, windows, widgets and appearance preferences. The plugin will rebuild
the default layout the next time the desktop shell opens.

### Why are admin pages shown in iframe windows?

The desktop interface uses iframe windows to keep each admin screen inside a movable
desktop window. These frames are intended for the current site’s WordPress admin
pages.

### Can I preview the public site?

Yes. The default View site shortcut opens the current site’s public home page in
a desktop window. Some sites or security headers may restrict iframe display; in
that case, use the regular front-end URL in a browser tab.

### Can I create shortcuts for plugin toolbar actions such as cache purge links?

Yes. The shortcut picker includes supported WordPress admin toolbar actions. Saved
toolbar shortcuts keep a source identifier so dynamic nonce-based URLs can be refreshed
from the current toolbar when available.

### What is Operations Center?

Operations Center is a native desktop app for administrators. It summarizes operational
signals from the current WordPress site, including available updates, moderation
and editorial queues, WooCommerce order and stock attention, scheduled task health,
system load and security baseline checks. Cards include action buttons that open
the relevant admin screen inside Explorer Soft Admin Shell.

### What is Site insights?

Site insights is a native dashboard window for reporting-style panels such as WooCommerce
orders and revenue, user registrations, content activity, system load and runtime
health. It supports Today, Last 7 days and Last 30 days periods, plus per-user panel
visibility controls.

### Can I use multiple desktops?

Yes. The taskbar Spaces control supports multiple desktops. You can create, rename
and delete desktops, switch between them, and move windows or desktop icons to another
desktop. Desktop 1 and the last remaining desktop are protected from deletion.

### Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. The Command Palette opens with Ctrl+Shift+K or Alt+K. Desktop switching uses
Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right for previous and next desktop, and Ctrl+Alt+1 through Ctrl+Alt
+9 for direct desktop selection.

### Where is layout data stored?

Layout data is stored per user in WordPress user meta under the `esash_desktop_layout`
key.

### Does this plugin send data to external services?

Not by default.

The Weather widget is disabled by default. If enabled by the user, the user’s browser
contacts the selected weather provider and sends the configured city or location.
Supported providers are Open-Meteo, OpenWeatherMap, WeatherAPI.com and a custom 
JSON endpoint.

The News widget is disabled by default. If enabled by the user, WordPress contacts
the configured RSS feed URL to load headlines. Preset feeds are provided for convenience,
but no RSS request is made until the user enables external RSS requests.

### Does Operations Center or Site insights send data externally?

No. Operations Center and Site insights use local WordPress data, server/runtime
information available to WordPress, and WooCommerce data when WooCommerce is active
and the current user has permission. They do not send data to third-party services.

### Which widgets are enabled by default?

Only the Clock widget is enabled by default. Weather and News must be enabled and
configured by the user.

## 更新日志

#### 0.1.81

 * Add a native Operations Center app with actionable cards for updates, content
   queues, WooCommerce, scheduled tasks, system load and security baseline checks.
 * Add multiple desktops / Spaces with create, rename, delete, visible active desktop
   label, keyboard switching and controls for moving windows or desktop icons between
   desktops.
 * Add a Command Palette with keyboard shortcuts, taskbar access and desktop icon
   creation for admin pages and supported toolbar actions.
 * Add a window overview overlay for quickly finding and focusing open windows.
 * Add taskbar and titlebar window menus with Restore, Minimize, Open in new tab,
   Move to desktop and Close actions.
 * Add wallpaper click show-desktop behavior and improve desktop/window visibility

#### 0.1.80

 * Hide the WooCommerce activity panel inside framed admin windows so product edit
   screens do not get covered by the off-canvas side panel.

#### 0.1.79

 * Preserve the full requested admin URL when opening registered menu shortcuts 
   so plugin sub-tabs and query-state pages stay on the exact target screen.
 * Limit frontend recovery and form rewrites to real admin form submissions so normal
   View site windows are not treated as failed admin saves.

#### 0.1.78

 * Normalize framed plugin settings form submissions against a stable wp-admin URL
   so empty, relative, rewritten, or scripted submit actions stay in the correct
   admin save flow.
 * Recover admin-bound framed windows if a plugin save flow lands on a same-site
   frontend URL.
 * Add window Back, Forward, and Refresh controls plus compact taskbar close buttons
   for open windows.
 * Make the Site insights period selector and panel visibility controls always visible
   in the dashboard window.
 * Decode localized number entities in insight rows so large values render as readable
   text.

#### 0.1.77

 * Add a native Site insights dashboard with admin-only traffic placeholder, WooCommerce
   order and revenue reporting, registrations, content activity, system load, and
   runtime health panels.
 * Add selectable insights reporting periods for Today, Last 7 days, and Last 30
   days.
 * Add per-user controls for showing or hiding individual insights panels.

#### 0.1.76

 * Add a Settings > Admin Shell screen for controlling the default admin landing
   redirect and login redirect.
 * Add direct Desktop Shell and Classic Admin access links plus a current-user desktop
   layout reset action.
 * Save the Admin Shell settings screen through AJAX so settings changes work reliably
   when opened inside desktop shell windows.

#### 0.1.73

 * Update the tested WordPress version header for the current WordPress.org Plugin
   Check requirement.

#### 0.1.72

 * Update the Open-Meteo documentation link to the current combined terms and privacy
   page.

#### 0.1.71

 * Remove one third-party RSS preset so all bundled presets map directly to documented
   service providers with working terms and privacy links.

#### 0.1.70

 * Force WordPress post editor forms back to the embedded admin save endpoint when
   builders or themes rewrite the form action to a frontend URL.

#### 0.1.69

 * Keep framed post, page and custom post type save redirects on the embedded WordPress
   edit screen instead of allowing frontend 404 redirects.

#### 0.1.68

 * Separate shell embedded admin requests from the explicit Classic admin bypass
   so framed post, page and plugin actions do not show classic admin chrome.

#### 0.1.67

 * Suppress WordPress admin toolbar rendering in framed admin windows and remove
   toolbar chrome from loaded admin frames.

#### 0.1.66

 * Hide the outer WordPress toolbar on the shell page to avoid duplicate toolbars
   when previewing the public site in a desktop window.

#### 0.1.65

 * Keep post/page editing and plugin management actions inside the current shell
   window while omitting frame markers from sensitive WordPress admin requests.

#### 0.1.64

 * Remove remaining legacy naming from internal package metadata, DOM prefixes, 
   CSS custom properties and bundled asset names.

#### 0.1.63

 * Open post/page editors and plugin action flows outside framed shell windows so
   Publish, Update, Deactivate and Delete actions complete normally.
 * Rename the bundled admin shell asset files for consistency with the Explorer 
   Soft Admin Shell name.

#### 0.1.62

 * Avoid adding desktop frame markers to post and page editor save forms so publish
   and update actions complete normally.

#### 0.1.61

 * Keep Classic admin plugin management and post/page edit flows outside the desktop
   redirect so admin actions can complete normally.

#### 0.1.60

 * Added a default layout filter for Pro role-based and global default layouts.
 * Removed stale bundled translation artifacts so WordPress.org language packs can
   handle translations cleanly.

Earlier internal pre-review iterations are omitted from this readme to keep the 
WordPress.org listing concise.
