Velvet Vogue Fashion Store Core

A WordPress plugin that provides core content management functionality for the Velvet Vogue Fashion Store theme, including hero sliders, testimonials, and footer settings.

Description

Velvet Vogue Fashion Store Core is a custom WordPress plugin built to power the backend content management for a fashion e-commerce storefront. It registers dedicated Custom Post Types (CPTs) and meta boxes, allowing store administrators to manage homepage hero slides, customer testimonials, and global footer settings from the WordPress admin dashboard without writing any code.

Features

• Hero Slider Management -- Create and reorder hero slides with custom kicker text (e.g., "Autumn / Winter 2026") and subtitles. Supports featured images and page attribute ordering.
• Testimonials -- Manage customer testimonials with quote text, star ratings (1--5), role/title, and avatar URL fields.
• Footer Settings (Singleton) -- A single-instance CPT for managing the site-wide footer: logo tagline, social media links (Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok), quick links (dynamic repeater), contact information (address, phone, email), and copyright text.
• Admin Dashboard -- A centralized dashboard page under the "VVFS Core" menu for quick navigation to each content section.
• WordPress REST API -- All CPTs are REST-enabled for headless or block-editor integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more than one footer?

No. The Footer Settings CPT is enforced as a singleton. Attempting to create a new one redirects to the existing entry.

Are the CPTs compatible with the Block Editor?

Yes. All three CPTs have show_in_rest enabled, so they work with the Gutenberg block editor.

Do I need a specific theme?

This plugin is designed to work with the Velvet Vogue Fashion Store theme, but the CPTs and meta boxes are functional with any theme. Theme template files are required to display the front-end output.
