User permissions
- Only users with the
manage_optionscapability (typically Administrator) can access EdminBoost settings - Layout preset role assignments and role visibility matrix affect what each WordPress role sees at runtime
Browser
- Modern browser with JavaScript enabled (Command Center tabs, setup wizard, and live previews use admin JS)
- Color pickers and drag-and-drop builders require a desktop browser for the best experience
Optional integrations (local only) These unlock extra top bar badge sources when the plugin is present — no API calls:
- WooCommerce — order and review counts
- WPForms — entry counts (reads local
wpforms_entriestable when available)
Server notes
- No custom database tables; settings stored via WordPress Options API (
edminboost_settings,edminboost_version) - No cron jobs or REST endpoints required
- Visual theme CSS loads on all wp-admin screens when enabled; Command Center bar assets load when the top bar is configured
Multisite Works on standard WordPress installs. Document per-site activation if you support multisite (settings are per-site in Options API).
