Readme github.com/faseehsyed786/wordpress-ui-customizer-tool ↗

Commercial WordPress plugin: inspect any front-end element, restyle it without touching theme files, give clients a white-label dashboard, and drop in scheduled dynamic content.

Why this is sellable

Site owners already pay $49–$199/year for YellowPencil-style visual CSS and Ultimate Dashboard-style client admin. This plugin combines both, plus timed content snippets, in one GPL product you can sell as support + updates.

Features

  • Visual editor panel (hide, color, type, spacing, custom CSS)
  • Unique selectors and overlay highlighting — page elements are not polluted with helper classes
  • Save via authenticated REST API; styles load for every visitor
  • Undo / redo, entire-site or this-page scope
  • Role gate (administrator / editor / author)
  • White-label admin bar name and optional WordPress logo hide
  • Multiple client dashboard widgets
  • [vss_content slug="announcement"] with start/end dates and logged-in visibility
  • Gutenberg block for the same snippets
  • JSON export / import for agency presets

How to use

  1. Activate the plugin.
  2. In wp-admin open Site Studio and optionally set brand name + widgets.
  3. Visit the site front end while logged in.
  4. Click Studio (or admin bar → Toggle visual editor).
  5. Click an element, change styles, Save styles.

Shortcodes

[vss_content slug="announcement"]

The old [custom_content] shortcode still works if you had the previous Custom Content Display option saved.

Development notes

PHP 7.4+, WordPress 6.0+. No build step — vanilla JS so agencies can drop it into any site.
