<p>Explorer Soft Admin Shell transforms the classic WordPress admin into a modern desktop-style workspace.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Perfect for:</p>
<ul>
<li>WordPress power users</li>
<li>WooCommerce stores</li>
<li>Agencies</li>
<li>Developers</li>
<li>Content teams</li>
<li>Busy administrators</li>
</ul>
<h4>Main Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Desktop-style WordPress experience – turn wp-admin into a real desktop environment with windows, icons, taskbar and Start menu.</li>
<li>Draggable admin windows – open and manage multiple WordPress admin pages simultaneously.</li>
<li>Multiple desktops / Spaces – separate workflows for content, WooCommerce, maintenance, analytics and more.</li>
<li>Native dashboard apps – includes Operations Center and Site Insights dashboards for fast operational monitoring.</li>
<li>Command Palette – quickly launch admin pages, actions and apps using keyboard shortcuts.</li>
<li>Taskbar and window management – minimize, maximize, restore and organize your workflow like a desktop operating system.</li>

</ul>
<h4>Designed for Real Productivity</h4>
<p>Explorer Soft Admin Shell is not just a visual redesign.</p>
<p>It changes the way administrators interact with WordPress by reducing navigation friction, improving multitasking and creating a more focused workspace for daily operations.</p>
<p>The classic WordPress admin remains fully available at all times and can be opened instantly from the taskbar or direct admin links.</p>
<h4>Included Native Apps</h4>
<ul>
<li>Operations Center – monitor updates, WooCommerce activity, scheduled tasks, moderation queues, security baselines and system health from a centralized dashboard.</li>
<li>Site Insights – view WooCommerce metrics, registrations, content activity, runtime health and operational summaries in a native desktop window.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Keyboard Shortcuts</h4>
<ul>
<li>Command Palette: Ctrl+Shift+K or Alt+K</li>
<li>Switch desktops: Ctrl+Alt+Left / Right</li>
<li>Direct desktop access: Ctrl+Alt+1..9</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy & External Services</h4>
<p>Explorer Soft Admin Shell does not track users and does not contact external services by default.</p>
<p>Optional widgets such as Weather and RSS News are disabled until enabled and configured by the current user.</p>
<h4>Important</h4>
<p>Explorer Soft Admin Shell becomes the default admin landing experience after activation, while the classic WordPress admin always remains accessible.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Native admin dashboards</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Weather services</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Supported weather providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<h4>RSS news services</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Preset RSS providers:</p>
<ul>
<li>CoinDesk RSS. Terms: https://www.coindesk.com/terms/ Privacy: https://www.coindesk.com/privacy</li>
<li>Cointelegraph RSS. Terms and privacy: https://cointelegraph.com/terms-and-privacy</li>
